WAIW | Facebook Called Me “Abusive”
Following-up on last week’s WAIW episode where I talked about recent problems with Facebook restricting the magazine’s page for a week, I thought I would take this week’s episode to update everyone on where things stand now. Sadly, the video probably comes with more questions than answers.
If you’re curious about the posts I reference in the video, you can find them here, here, and here. The first two involve several lengthy discussions with people that may have possibly been offended by what I had to say (or perhaps others reading and not engaging may have felt the same way), and the third one involves a word that may have been flagged automatically by Facebook despite the fact that I’m not using it in a derogatory context myself. It’s possible that none of these things relate to the restriction, but it was placed on the page a minute after the post with the possibly flagged word was made and not so long after the majority of the discussions were winding down
At this point, I don’t expect to ever get a clear answer, and I’ve decided to stop chasing the support team. So, the best I can do is continue to create and share content while encouraging folks to seek out such things outside of platforms that I have little control over.
On that note, thanks for coming to the website to find out more about all of this.
