> Now another global scale issue (whether you call it genocide or collective punishment) is being twisted beyond all moral boundary by censorship and gaslighting from this Admin.

What are you referring to? There’s a chasm of difference between genocide and collective punishment. I’m not from the US, but it’s my understanding Facebook doesn’t need intervention from the US government to contribute to genocide, they’re quite capable of doing it on their own.

> Can you see the irony in how learning more about this from the very person who enacted the censorship making you cheer more for the people directly responsible for it?

That criticism only applies if you believe the person making the claim. Is Mark Zuckerberg trustworthy? He’s the CEO who infamously called his users “dumb fucks” for trusting him and lied about the harms he knows his platforms cause. Hardly a paragon of trust. So I don’t see it as ironic that someone would hear what Zuckerberg has to say and immediately think it’s at best a self-serving half-truth.
