Some of you may have noticed that the Racket Facebook page has been quiet over the past couple of days. The reason is that a political page that I’ve run for more years than I care to remember, the Common Sense Conservative, recently ran afoul of Facebook’s Terms of Service.
Yup. A lot of that going around. I had my account completely disabled and got the message that the decision could not be reversed. I have no idea why, so I was forced to create an entirely new profile and begin again.
There are people who do nothing but report people to facebook. And it sure seems like once you are on their radar its just a matter of time before they take you down. I don't know if its only the first offense thats reported or if each offense is reported by someone visiting your page but the idea that facebook spends the time and money to just search their site for memes seems really far fetched to me. Especially since they have so much more stuff they have to search for like child trafficking and terrorism posts. Either way, your better off not on facebook.
So Goliath is an equal opportunity censor. Maybe we can buy a vintage printing press cheap?
