A recent Facebook decision to block posts and groups related to Linux, categorizing them as "cybersecurity threats," and even claiming that Linux is malware is a big concern within the tech community. DistroWatch, has reported being restricted since January 19, with users experiencing account suspensions for disseminating Linux-related content. As instructors and IT professionals, many of us rely on social media platforms like Facebook to share knowledge, discuss open-source tools, and educate others about Linux.
How will this impact the tech community and cybersecurity education?
 
Facebook did not decide to block posts or groups related to Linux. Most likely it was an error with their algorithms.
