    Friend got his solar business's post banned by Facebook last week. It was simply an update on solar tech but was deemed "overly political" ... So ... is Facebook anti-solar now?

    Just trying to follow how we weaponize anecdotal evidence these days.

    Mainstream outlets seem to only want white agressors even though FBI crime stats show they disportionately commit hate crimes when to their population share. They must make it so that the white maga hat people are the other and demonize Trump supporters.
    Fake noose. What a fitting pun.

    Ok? In my opinion I think he staged the whole thing based on what we know to this point. Is that easier for you to swallow?

    I don't want to jump to conclusions. I am glad he survived and hopefully the authorities conduct a fair investigation.

    From what we've heard at this point I strongly suspect he made this whole thing up. If that's true I hope they throw the book at him. If he lied I hope he does jail time.

    3 years would be the max and I hope he would get all of it due to the amount of resources used and all the public interviews he did.

    This seemed weird from the beginning. Don't know if it's real or a hoax, but if it is a hoax then this might be the end of his career. Also, if it is a hoax, what an incredibly stupid idea for a hoax.

    If it did indeed happen then I hope the criminals are found soon.

    Interesting that the guy cropped the post so the whole thing can't be seen. We don't know what he posted above the story.

    Dude. I posted this on Facebook on valentine's day and got a 3 day ban.

    [​IMG]

    I tried an experiment and posted the same picture with Hitler's face covered up and it wasn't flagged/removed.

    Not sh***ting you. Insanity.

    That's a great test. I guess the FB is against fascism? Or just Hitler? If it's genocidal maniacs, they need a broader filter. LOL

    Some of us are interested in criticizing the algorithm while others want to leap to "librulz are stifling mah facebooks!"

    I like how even with the overwhelming evidence some are admitting defeat but still throw in the obligatory but if it is true I hope they catch those white bastards that were carrying around bleach and a noosed rope looking for a gay celebrity of a show they wouldn’t know in a million years in one of the coldest snaps in recent history in downtown Chicago wearing maga hats.

    So they adapted their "Hot Dog. Not a Hot Dog" image processing code into "Hitler. Not Hitler"

    "What, it only does Hitler?"
    "Well, and a, Not Hitler."

    The filter is so much more interesting than the main thread topic.

    what's so wrong about "if true"?

    both sides say it just look at all the investigation threads

    The insanity is two fold.

    1) They're singling out Hitler while ignoring every other homocidal maniac ruler in history

    2) They're outright banning people, with no recourse, for posting one of the oldest valentine's jokes/memes on the interwho

    Like, what the hell is this? How does banning people for posting Hitler's face accomplish anything?

    I'm glad this happened to you because if you were smart you would have permanently deleted your account already. I can't do it because I've never had one and while I'm not boasting about that I am proud of myself.

    "At least we're doing something." I think that's the FB angle here, all common sense be damned.

    Here, though it's late for Valentine's Day, I made this just for you:
