Freedom from Opinion on Facebook: An Unforgettable ExperienceAh, the glorious freedom of opinion! Highly valued in Germany, in practice sometimes… well, an adventure. 
Who would have thought that simply sharing links to articles in one’s own Facebook group could turn into an “experience” one won’t forget anytime soon? Yes, once again I am not allowed to post links to articles from “Die Bürgerstimme” – in my own Facebook groups, which I founded myself. Facebook, the almighty “guardian angel of the community,” claims that these posts are allegedly spam. To protect the Bürgerstimme community, I am not allowed to post links to Bürgerstimme articles. What an experience! The experience begins with a simple message: “To protect the community from spam, we are limiting…” – and ends with a click on “Give Feedback,” where one is politely led into a digital dead end. There, you may courteously explain why you believe the block is a mistake. And the experience culminates in the confirmation: “Thank you for your feedback on this experience.” An experience hard to top: you report censorship, and Facebook thanks you for the experience – a little meditation on the irony of modern freedom of expression. Here, the difference from true ownership becomes particularly stark: In your own house, you can do whatever you want – invite friends, hang up pictures, put up signs, say what you think. In your own Facebook group? You are practically a tenant on a property you thought you owned. The door isn’t yours, the rules are set by invisible algorithms, and suddenly you can’t say anything in your own living room. This is exactly why “Die Bürgerstimme” exists as its own website. Here, you are master in your own house. Here, you decide which content appears. No algorithm, no friendly “guardian” silencing you – just your own voice, free in your own digital home. This experience says more about our times than any study on democracy: Freedom is sold as a service experience, which you can book or be denied at any time. True freedom of expression begins where you make the rules yourself – in your own house. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
