A friend got a week for taking about his transmission in his car as "the tranny." He got a month recently for a photo of Hitler. He wasn't glorifying Hitler! I tested it on a clean account and got a warning that this was a photo of a "hateful figure," or some such bull.
Not whining. Pointing out that Facebook is changing its standards randomly to suit its Disney masters. My goal is to educate and make people laugh. Apparently, all you want is an argument.
Facebook's standards are inconsistent, arbitrary and unpredictable. The Nazi meme is still on a friend's page. The photos of Trump and his call girls are all over the internet and on many people's pages. All my posts are on political groups' pages. I don't do cat or food pictures. The one of Trump with an anus where his mouth should be is less circulated but still political commentary.
None of those photos were ever banned from Twitter. Funny thing is, conservatives think they're preferentially targetted.

The discussion of the First Lady's public nudity is appropriate esp. when people are saying how it's good to have a "classy lady" in the White House.
The bannings due to the artwork depicting Christians beheading people during the Crusades (remember for 500 years, YOU were the terrorists...) was reported by a friend of my cousin's. Facebook has a database of photos that the bots use when "deciding" if something is objectionable.
A recent bot banning showed White Nationalists. The bot recognized the salute and the swastika but not the text.
The meme with Trump's mouth as an anus was flagged by the bot as being a "body part." It was also a political statement. In a political forum.
Where DO you go for your political commentary and memes? I've tried a few alternative social media sites but they are sparse and mostly populated by Devin Nunes fans. I am spending more time on Twitter but its thread structure is chaotic. Washington Post is a bot-haven. Most of its comments are done by bots (at least when you critcize Big Pharma.)
The speed at which you are banned, is definitely due to bots. When a human reverses the post, they cannot restore your privileges. If you post something mean on Twitter, their bots says, "Wait a second. You can't post that." It lets you fix the part they don't like.
Frankly, I was shocked at the banning due to Melania Trump's "pornography" since I had posted it many times before with no consequences. She wore the dress in public and it is all over the internet. I think they are pandering to their new overlord, Disney.
A recent article in Wired points out that Zuckerberg has more than enough resources to hire human moderators.
Complaining never helps me. The humans approve the post but don't unban me. Hell, you can't even report that their system is broken while you're banned.
That's not what keeps happening to me. The bots see a meme they don't understand. So they ban you. A human looks at it, eventually, and says, "We're sorry, this is fine." But they never clear your record or reverse the time you have to serve. I just got six days for posting a picture of our slutty first lady with her moron husband. The caption says, "Porn Again Christian." The one before that showed Nazis "expressing their free speech" and asking why Kaepernick couldn't do the same. The bot saw the swastika. I got 3 days. This all happened in July! I got a month once for posting a painting from the Crusades, pointing out that Christians were once the "terrorists." If you're active on Facebook, the bots will get you. And no human will help you.
Sony employees have a LONG, sordid history of suppressing free speech every chance they get. They even do it to people who pay for their shitty service!
People are abandoning their facist forums.

Artificial stupidity.

I wasn't talking to you. Who made this your forum?
It's not our fault that the First Lady is a tramp.
It's not people
It's bots. Melania Slut goes out in public with her nipples showing and I get suspended for "nudity."

Re: Facebook’s unfair blocking
Did you ever figure this out? That's really strange.
Re:
Did they ban you recently? Usually for disturbing photos they "cover" them so the viewer can decide if she wants to see them.
They've done this to me several times for photos of police brutality.

If anyone wants to test their algorithm
I can provide you with several memes that will get you suspended.
Perhaps there should be a case about using bots instead of humans. It's real artificial stupidity.
