Some posts mentioning Linux-related topics, sites, or groups are being blocked on Facebook for unknown reasons, reports have claimed. The latest DistroWatch weekly news roundup noted, “We've been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch.”

Facebook is banning posts that mention various Linux-related topics, sites, or groups. Some users may also see their accounts locked or limited when posting Linux topics. Major open-source operating system news, reviews, and discussion site DistroWatch is at the center of the controversy, as it seems to be the first to have noticed that Facebook's Community Standards had blackballed it.


A post on the site claims, "Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labeled groups associated with Linux as being 'cybersecurity threats.' We tried to post some blurb about distrowatch.com on Facebook and can confirm that it was barred with a message citing Community Standards.


DistroWatch says that the Facebook ban took effect on January 19. Readers have reported difficulty posting links to the site on this social media platform. Moreover, some have told DistroWatch that their Facebook accounts have been locked or limited after sharing posts mentioning Linux topics.



 
I finally got another laptop set it up with Ubuntu. some of the problems were self inflicted by not reading the fine print on the computer.
It is a refurbished Acer aspire of which I have had good luck with. I didn't set it up with windoze went right to Linux Ubuntu.
My first problem computer didn't have a hard drive it has a motherboard with UFS "hard-drive" non removable mounted to motherboard, got that fixed by putting in a M.2-256 SSD changing the BIOS to boot switchover that hard drive.
2nd problem it didn't have RS45 connector for hard wired Ethernet I got a dongle with card readers in it to fix that
Ubuntu has some glitches cant see wifi card still working through this.
so far every thing else is working ok sofar.
