Utah Bob #35998 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 I thought the Vlad Putin target I posted would have done it. Like SDJ says, their community standards are confusing and nebulous at best and slippery as a vaselined catfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Do they ban discussions of violence? I.e., one's war experiences, etc.? (I have no idea since I've never been on FB.) Or is it other things. A target of Putin or some other figure might do it, I suppose. I know my outdoor pistol and rifle range, as an example, has long outlawed targets of persons, living or dead. I believe the idea probably is to avoid discord where discord serves no possible good purpose. What are some examples of what FB bans? Usually here one hears complaints about being banned there, but no specifics about what the person was banned for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family and I use snapchat. I try not to use Fakebook and empower a far left organization that thrives on censorship of all those not on the left. So I don't see it as cutting of the nose in spite of the face. I see it as not supporting a far left organization of corruption. But that was my choice, everyone has to make their own decisions.

People were telling him how to get rid of them. I suggested a BB gun. I said in jest “Do you want to borrow my Red Ryder lol I got a 24 hour ban for that! I’ve been banned 4 Times already and also have been re-instated twice with an apology after I disagreed with their ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 You're in good company as far as banning goes. Twitter banned The Babylon Bee for a satirical article on Rachel Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm no expert on this but I've been told FB goes by certain words that cause them fits. Sometimes when you protest and don't agree they actually apologize and let you back. Like I said before it's happened to me twice! Blew my mind that they actually apologized!

I had them do the same thing initially with more than 1 account, but once you get a certain amount of black marks , your guilty no matter what. I’ve also noticed the more violations you get the further back they will look . I was getting smacked for things I posted years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Joker Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Eyesa Horg said: Free speech, hah. There is no free speech on Facebook. Its a private club, you agree to be the product in exchange for access to their infrastructure. Rule of thumb: if you get access to something that cost a bunch of money for free YOU or your info IS the PRODUCT. They run experiments on you. They filter your ads to drive your money where they want. They bend your newsreel to get you to believe what they want. Funny thing is this has all been proven and folks just go 'what are you gonna do? Where else am I going to stay in touch with family?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic thing is it was a repost of a friends meme who did NOT get a ban. Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possum Stu Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I left FB shortly after getting married, so 4 years now. I haven't missed it a bit. Instagram was fun for a while but I abandoned that early last year. Gab and Telegram are much more useful for me at this point. I'd still like to find a non-Zuckerberg owned alternative for Instagram, though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
