I have a lot of people that I blocked on social media because of the things they were sharing.
Many of them claimed they were getting censored by Meta or whatever...but I think it was just people like me silencing their stories, reporting their posts, or blocking them.
I kept them all around (and still have some people sharing pro Palestine stuff), but I blocked the ones who were sharing images or videos of people dying, people with graphic injuries, or other disturbing imagery.
Not everyone wants to see that, and social media companies have the right to enforce their rules, which often forbid sharing images or videos of graphic violence.
