A group called WNY Gardeners has been repeatedly flagged by the social network for “violating community standards,” when its more than 7,500 members discussed the long-handled bladed implement, which is spelled with an “e,” unlike the offensive term.
When one member commented “Push pull hoe!” on a post about preferred weeding tools, Facebook sent a notification that read, “We reviewed this comment and found it goes against our standards for harassment and bullying,” a moderator said.

Earlier this week our good friend Angel caught a 7 day suspension from Facebook after commenting on somebody else's post that we need to burn Austin to the ground and after the ashes have cooled, salt the earth.
She thought that was a little unfair so she requested a review. Facebook reviewed it, rescinded the 7 day suspension and gave her 30 days instead.
I'm having a lot of fun fucking with her about that.
In the East of England there is a town called Scunthorpe which causes problems with the kind of nanny programs that scan text looking for naughty words.
ReplyDeleteFucking, Austria had a similar problem, so they changed the name to Fugging. Not sure it's that great of an improvement.
DeleteI would suggest to any and all to avoid Fake Book at all cost. It is a plague on society...thanks
ReplyDeleteAustin delenda est. Your friend Angel has her shit together!
ReplyDeleteThat she does. Angel earned her wings many years ago, and the world is a much better place because of her presence in it. Wirecutter knows how to keep good company.
Delete"Facebook violates standards of intelligence!"
ReplyDeleteCC
I live a short distance away from that city......fair assessment and treatment for that warped area
ReplyDeleteI understand the new word for whore on trashy sites like fb, Twitter and such is rake. It seems to confuse the brains of liberal assholes.
ReplyDeleteCarry on with the discussion

Cue drunken rant:
Delete* "You are all a bunch of rakes!"

DeleteNo way in hell that FB is going to risk riling up Jumadwa and censor her for calling Fuglamadwa a Hoe.
ReplyDeleteJust be glad that Angel is not roasting you because of the drain plug in your boat; and sundry other adventures of your childhood.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Angel.
ReplyDeleteSo Angel out did you huh?
