About Facebook...

Is Facebook on a bot that triggers whenever you post trigger words like "Russia" or "Mueller"?

I don't post many political comments on Facebook, but the two times I linked or commented using those words, Facebook has sent me a comment about community standards.

If I'm right, I just wonder why they don't shut down a poster who is still posting false twitter comments from Democrats with high profiles? Some are very obviously tampered comments, but not all quotes are obvious.

In fact, while I'm here, is there anywhere on the internet to confirm attributions or quotes?

1. Facebook sucks

People would be far better off without it.

Same thing for Twitter.

2. Agree 100%. n/t

3. Perhaps Snopes for confirmation, or a general Google search. Also,

as to the rest of your post, I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I do know one thing.

Facebook needs to get their act together, and quickly. I quit facebook long ago, but I still lurk on a dummy account to keep tabs on the opposition. The amount of propaganda on there, even today, is startling.

I hope you get an answer to your question.

4. That means someone is reporting on your posts.

Do you keep your posts public to the world or friends only? If public to the world, it could be any asshole troll fucking with you.

If friends only, then you have an asshole friend.

For what it’s worth, I post volatile political stuff all the time, and have never had a post removed from facebook. I’ve also regularly sent messages to Trump’s facebook page, calling him a piece of dogshit, suggesting he end his Presidency, telling him he has small hands and no dick, et al with no issues.

5. Bingo! I do friends only & never have a problem.

6. That would be interesting.

I know I have an asshole friend or two, but no real way to unfriend them without causing an uncomfortable situation at the next gathering. My posts only are available to "friends."

Maybe Facebook should give us an opportunity to unfriend people who are disturbed by our posts. Frankly, I have stopped following those who post things that are not consistent with my politics, so I don't care what they post. I wish they would do the same.

12. You can specifically remove people from seeing posts without unfriending.

When posting, click the box that says "Friends", and change it to "Friends, except...". It'll have dialog up to select which friends to block from seeing said post.

They'll never know the difference.

13. I did that once before.

I kept one sister in the approved status, and kept the other sister out because she seemed conservative. For all that trouble, the one I shaded from seeing my posts stopped responding to any of my entries. She must have unfollowed me.

Wish others like her would follow her lead.

7. I think you're correct

I post and share political articles and never have received any 'warnings'.

8. We pile on Cruz and Cornyn's FB page and our posts aren't deleted

We don't use profanity or anything etc.

I've never posted on Trump's.

9. My post was not deleted

I just get Facebook's community standards reminders after I post.

11. Never had that happen on FB.

I got a post removed from Nextdoor when I invited local Democrats to a Meet and Greet. It was a harmless invite.
They said I was "advertising" and it violated their TOS.

10. Skip politics on FB - it's a black hole

FB is fine for staying in touch with friends and relatives - it is a crap platform to express political or religious views.
