Offensive Content

SEABEE — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 23:03:06 GMT

I seldom look at the "Thought Provoking Stories". It seems those I have looked at have a serious liberal slant, promoting values that I find offensive and dangerous to morality and individual freedoms. I see no balance in the views presented that support more conservative values. Is their a way to promote more of a balance that would present both conservative and liberal views?

although it is possible to dismiss individual stories, there doesn't seem to be any facility for remembering what type of content an individual user wants to see, so the short answer is probably no

if the stuff you are seeing is offensive then it might be best to turn off the feature:

Settings --> Home --> uncheck the box for "Recommended stories"

I don't read the stories but the lineup is few general stories and 3-4 stories specific to how India is insensitive to non hindus. It seems the lineup is tilted towards left propaganda. There is not a single centre or right to center views on your "thought provoking stories".

I agree with SEABEE. I see only liberal and left slanted stories. Why not be fair and at least post half liberal and half conservative stories. Many of us are tired of the old WOKE views being the only ones presented.

I totally agree with Seabee. Most of the stories and supposedly factual reporting are from way left leaning outlets like NPR and CNN among others. The stories all support a liberal point of view and twist the facts to their agenda. I will not support a platform that I consider socialistic and contrary to the good of our country and as such am discontinuing my use of Mozilla. I hope others do as well.

Im in canada, and if I am to view american politics It would be nice to see a variety of reporting from different news outlets. Its shockingly American left leaning. I've been using Firefox for over 5 years now, hoping that clicking thumbs down on obviously hard left views would eventually get me to a point with honest and balanced "thought provoking stories". Sadly that is not the case. Not exactly thought provoking. Incredibly disappointing from mozilla.

As mentioned by some others, the stories have a leftist bias. I hail from India, and in my context, these stories directly or indirectly showcase the negative aspects of society and governance. Why can't you be balanced in your approach. Agreed that governments need to be criticized for their wrong actions or omissions, and social negativities need to be denounced, but when these are demanded, not on all occasions. When you do so, you lose credibility because anybody who reads your content is intelligent enough to see through the bias. Plead do not do so, for your own sake.
