Facebook once again proves that they are staunch advocates of free speech only as long as you’re spreading hate and misinformation… What kind of idiot would ever say that a game about a historical event from over 100 years ago is a “sensitive social issue”? Who is still debating wether or not women have the right to vote?
Deleting my Facebook account 7 years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made lol
I also deleted my Facebook account many years ago. Maybe 2012 or 2013. But that reminds me of a joke: how do you know someone isn’t on Facebook – don’t worry, they’ll tell you! When I closed mine, I actually went through their download content process, then removed each post and photo and such. I know that this doesn’t mean actual deletion. For a while I left the account active only so I could be notified if someone tagged me in a photo (so I could untag it), but eventually just shut it all down.
Fast forward 7+ years…
I started a small business a few years ago. I tried to do account recovery on my previous Facebook account in order to set up the business page. Just wanted to reserve the name and link directly to our real website, to prevent bad actors from impersonating the business. Managed to recover my account, proving that it was never really deleted even 7+ years later (surprise surprise). Got the business page set up, and then several hours later got locked out, with Facebook demanding I send copies of my real government issued id. WTF. Well, task was complete, so fuck em.
He added, “A woman’s right to vote is not a ‘sensitive social issue’. It is established law and fact. A board game about historical events from over a century ago is unlikely to ‘impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation’.”
Hey, now and then, I hear the suggestion that women’s suffrage should be removed. Sometimes even from women that have totally bought into the patriarchy. Still, as far as I know, that opinion remains far from mainstream (thank goodness).
Honestly, there’s still a lot of leftover shit from the Civil War that’s still affecting politics. And that’s almost 70 years older than the 19th Amendment.
So while I agree that Women’s Suffrage is hardly sensitive, age seems to have little to do with it.
I’ve been on Facebook since it opened to the public and watching it turn into nothing but a nazi recruitment platform over the last decade is very disheartening.
I used to love it, especially the games. Now it’s nothing but nazis and bigots ruining it for everyone else and there are no human mods and AI doesn’t understand context so the second you’re on the defensive you get banned.
Remember when the Repugnicans dragged Facebook and Twitter into Congressional hearings on claims that social networks were "censoring" rightist content... only for the entire world to discover that those vile, violent, neo-nazy, dictatorial, fascist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-human-rights righty scum were actually getting special treatment the entire time?
It’s insane. Your report requires that someone reads the posts and is literate enough to understand the meaning of the content. It should not stand, and if it was posted by a real local person, then you should alert the authorities.
I reported someone for posting a shock video of a graphic and violent traffic accident, in a local marketplace group. It requires that someone presses play and watches 5sec, yet that was okay dokey.
Facebook’s own moderation is beyond being a joke, it’s a problem.
Bertram said, “Facebook has, of course, ignored any requests for information – so I do not know for sure it is a human taking the ads down, but that is what appears to be happening.
