Facebook Admits 'Error' in Censoring Hillsdale College | AllSides
A conservative college in Michigan called out Facebook for censorship after having its page taken down for launching a new course that is critical of communist and Marxist ideology. Michigan's Hillsdale College posted on X that "The @hillsdaleonline Facebook page has been down since Monday night, just as we launched a new course on Marxism, socialism, and communism," reportedly drawing a mea culpa from Meta, the Facebook parent company.
"Facebook is denying people access to our course on repressive ideologies. Such issues are usually resolved within 24 hours, @Meta told us."
According to a report on August 25th, 2024, the incident involving Hillsdale College and Facebook has sparked a conversation about freedom of speech and censorship on social media platforms.
