Albanian protesters rallying against land development and government corruption are facing a chilling digital crackdown—hundreds of their social media accounts, tied to the “Flamingo Revolution” movement, have been mysteriously shut down via mass copyright complaints. Evidence suggests some claims are fake, with one protester revealing he was paid $1,800 to file false reports—a tactic known as “brigading,” previously used by military groups to silence critics. The EU is now under pressure as over 30 MEPs demand an investigation into Meta’s compliance with the Digital Services Act, raising alarms about censorship and freedom of speech online. While Meta has restored some accounts and apologized, the true orchestrators remain unknown—with protesters blaming the Albanian government, which denies involvement. This case underscores the global battle to protect dissenting voices in the age of algorithmic moderation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
