I do not remember 2001 being that way until Sept 11.
I’ve been getting the violating community standard warnings for posts that aren’t in the least political or offensive, and yet posts with with profanity and other vile content continue to be posted...
>> These people must NOT be allowed to run our civilization.
Certainly, but decades of television, Hollywood, and the MSM have been far more damaging. At least today, there’s a trail of the tyrannical censorship the likeminded can identify and workaround.
We have plenty of options providing we’re willing to let go of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
You can guess the result of that one. By then I was convinced I was assigned my own personal Fbook troll (it was struck down in about 8 minutes).
It contained such pushing the envelope information as "store hours", contact information, how to get to the store, that we did host evening events for clubs, crafters and gamers, special events like author signings and odd literary facts.
As you can see I was truly dancing on the edge.
One morning my account was closed. For "suspicious activity".
I asked what I had done.
No answer. I asked what I could do to get my account back on line.
They said I needed to submit a picture. Of me.
I asked why.
They said they believed the account was not for a real person.
I said no duh, it was an account for a business.
They still said they wanted a picture. Of me.
I told them what they could do with themselves. A thorn bush was involved.
The next one is this, also posted on September 29, 2001:
Regards,
Liberals have absolutely NO sense of humor, which is what makes it so much fun for people like The Babylon Bee.
Oddly enough I only use Facebook to stay in touch with old school friends
I go to other sites for politics
I quit Fakebook on January 1st, 2022 and I’m proud of myself for staying away.
It used to be my first thing I did in the morning, while pounding my coffee.
After about 3 weeks I noticed my posts were still restricted and only I could see them. So I made a post making fun of FB and calling them out for their hypocrisy. About an hour later, the restriction was lifted and they “apologized.”
I hate FB and rarely visit any more except to post articles about Joke Biden and the POS Dumbocrats.
