    Today my wife was reviewing her memory posts on Facebook when she was censored for looking at her own posts from 3 years ago as "violating community standards". The posts were about her problems surrounding the earthquake three years ago. She commented on all the broken glass, the mess in the attic and the garage, and the house feeling like it was sitting on a bowl of Jell-O. Later in the day, her posts were reinstated, but she never understood why they were censored in the first place.

    Perhaps she noted that a tchotchke was leaning a little to the right...

    I won't give Two Facedbook the pleasure of my company. I had enough of Smuckerberg and the part he played in the fall of the USA plus his allowing scam advertisers like the one showing a photo of a DIY hand crank static wheel and claiming it would generate enough electricity to power your house for free.

    I have never had a problem with any of my posts on facebook, although some of the ones I read have the little “fact checker” thing on the bottom of the post. I just ignore that part.
    I can’t see why anything referring to an earthquake should cause any kind of problem, but there must have been some sort of a trigger word in there, or they just plain didn’t read what they were supposed to be fact checking.

    I use facebook to keep in touch with my friends and family, and I also belong to groups that I am interested in, like some of the Idaho history groups, some health groups, and local Huntsville ones.
    For these kinds of things, facebook works just fine. For more political information, then I go to Parler, or one of the less controlled social media.

    That's why I don't have Facebook. I find it way to consuming and overwhelming.:eek:

    I'm shadow banned on facebook full time and spend quite a bit of time on one restriction or another but I keep trying to make my little voice heard when it comes to the evil of the wanna be masters. I love it when they say you are restricted because of community standards and they don't tell you what you said that got you slapped.
