The media Mr. Mondialisation calls on its fans to survive


The incriminated photograph had journalistic virtues, according to the media.
The news shook left-wing supporters on social media. On Tuesday, the free media outlet Mr. Mondialisation, which is politically oriented but non-partisan, announced it had been permanently banned from Facebook. Its page, which had 1.5 million followers, was deleted "without notice or possible complaint." Since then, the community has been expressing its incomprehension. "It's rather scandalous," fumed one French-speaking follower. "We must not allow independent media to be crushed."
"Overnight, after so many years of struggle, we are on the verge of disappearance, of moral and financial exhaustion."
The issue: a photo about green colonialism, showing members of the Yanomami people in their natural environment. This image is accused by Meta, the owner of Facebook, of "child nudity." The media outlet disputes this interpretation, reiterating that the photo is "journalistic and not sexualized." Despite a protest, the decision was upheld.
"Simple mistake or intent to harm, it doesn't matter, the situation remains downright intolerable," rages Mr. Globalization. "We are witnessing a clear injustice with dramatic consequences for the entire team, but also for journalistic freedom and freedom of expression as a whole."
Fifteen years of work and 30,000 pieces of content have lost their greatest source of visibility. The title's Facebook page was its flagship. On Instagram, Mr. Mondialisation has "only" 100,000 followers, and his own website reportedly only receives two million visitors per month. "Our community has been decapitated," Mr. Mondialisation continues. The team, made up of twelve people, promises that it will use "all possible legal avenues to seek justice."
