A pattern of abuse by the vile thought police at Facebook has resulted in several time-outs! And during the imposed “social distancing” most are enduring today, imposing a suspension of connecting to friends on social media that prohibits even personal messaging*, is particularly cruel and irresponsible.
I personally used, celebrated and promoted Facebook since I made the trade of personal information for what was promised to be a “better internet” in 2007. I encountered zero problems with the platform from then and through most of 2016. So a perfectly great experience for a full decade. And then, immediately after an election went the “wrong way,” the campaign of targeted harassment began.
At first, a 24 hour suspension over some minor business that I’ve frankly forgotten. Then 72 hours. Then a week. And subsequently over a full year of suspension of the three years that followed. Most over comments or memes that only a lunatic could construe as “violation” of anything.
The details for each installment in a campaign of harassment by Facebook are presented here in reverse chronological order.
EPISODE 32 – MID JANUARY 2023
After having shared a meme demonstrating vulgarity publicly shared all over social media by a particularly low IQ politician as part of a reelection campaign into a private group thread, the tag was immediately and apparently automatically flagged and removed for “sexual activity.” Somehow this offense resulted in a six day suspension.
EPISODE 31 – SEPTEMBER 15, 2022
After enjoying most of a recent trip to Central Europe with access to FB, I managed to preserve my use up until a fateful posting of a meme featuring Eric Swalwell. The meme featured an image of a woman sitting down across from Swalwell expressing concern for his gun grabber threats. His answer to, “you know I’m a gun owner,” was “you know we have nukes, right!” was a rather precise representation of his actual words. So somehow, this meme was characterized as some “incitement” or “threat of violence.” If that’s how they grade Swalwell’s own statement simply being called out by the meme, should the corrupt Congressman be the one put in jail for it?
