As a blogger I take stands that Leftists deploy. Examples
(but probably not limited to):
o Conservative Memes
o Counterjihad Memes
o Pro-Israel Memes
o Biblical Morality Memes
o Plenty of Memes castigating the opposite of the above memes
Keeping this in mind, I have experienced my share of Google
and Facebook jail. I received a Daily Signal email that highlights Conservative
Allen Muench age 62 – tossed in Facebook jail an extremely unreasonable amount
of times. I wonder if by posting this Facebook expose, I’ll be landing back in Facebook jail. If I do I also share on my Gab
account. Unfortunately, is not anywhere close the Facebook platform and only a
little better than Twitter (300-character
limit). If someone comes up with a Facebook-similar platform, I’d sign up
in a heartbeat.
Maybe you can relate with me and Muench. Here’s that story:

Facebook Censors His Conservative Posts, Retired
Accountant Contends

A retired accountant says Facebook has suspended and
otherwise censored him multiple times since the 2016 presidential campaign for
posting certain conservative content.
Allen Muench, 62, a resident of St. Louis, Missouri, said he
spends much of his time running a conservative Facebook page that often
supports President Donald Trump and is critical of liberals.
After posting conservative memes or articles from websites
such as Breitbart, he has seen Facebook limit or completely cut off his access,
Muench told The Daily Signal in a phone interview.
“Our biggest challenge is Facebook’s political bias and
their enforcement of their Community Standards policy,” Muench said. “Facebook
seems to enforce their policy more on conservatives than liberals.”
He estimated that Facebook gave him five 30-day suspensions,
six one-week suspensions, and six two-week suspensions in the past 12 months,
as well as numerous shorter suspensions lasting from three hours to 72 hours.
“They have things like ‘You’re posting too fast,’ and then
you seem to fall into like a few hours [of suspension],” Muench, who worked as
an accountant for 35 years, said. “The next time you get six hours, then a day,
then a week, then two weeks.”
Topics that get him suspended by the social media giant, he
said, include Islam, homosexuality, Michelle Obama, and certain news outlets.
He started managing a Facebook page about the time Trump
announced his campaign for president in June 2015, Muench said, and he believes
Trump won the White House in part because of Facebook.
Muench’s Facebook page, called Health and Global News, has over 13,000 likes. He said he
targets independents and people who usually don’t vote.
As examples of Facebook’s censorship of his page, Muench
said the company suspended him for one week after he posted a Breitbart article titled “Two
Afghans Arrested for Raping 16-Year-Old on German City Street,” and again after
he posted an article from the Liberty
Writers site titled “Minutes Into His Memorial Day Speech Today, Trump Paused
and Revealed the Unthinkable.”
He said Facebook suspended him for two weeks for posting
a video of the American
flag, and also suspended him for posting memes about Sen. Elizabeth Warren,
D-Mass., late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, and former President Bill
Clinton.
Facebook also sent him error notices, Muench said, for
posting too much in a certain amount of time and when he tried unsuccessfully
to post links to certain articles.
Here are some examples he provided to The Daily Signal:

The message “an error occurred” appeared
when Muench tried to post some content.
Muench told The Daily Signal that although Facebook
messaged him that he was “going too fast,” he actually
posts slowly, like a “little old lady.”
He received one suspension by Facebook for posting too fast,
Muench says.
Muench said he received a suspension because he was “doing a lot on
Facebook.”
A friend tried to post a link to an article on his
Facebook page and received an error message,
Muench says.
Facebook suspended him for two weeks for posting a Jimmy Kimmel meme,
Muench says.
Facebook suspended him for two weeks for posting a Bill Clinton and HarveyWeinstein meme, Muench told The Daily Signal.
The meme that Muench says got him suspended by Facebook for two weeks.
Last year, some conservatives accused Facebook of
anti-conservative bias in its news feed. The company assured such critics that
it provides a platform for sharing all ideas and invited a group of prominent
conservatives to meet with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg about the concerns.
Among other publicized cases, Facebook banned a conservative
artist in Los Angeles for creating a poster attacking Zuckerberg. Facebook
also shut down the Occupy
Democrats Logic page for posting conservative memes.
Facebook’s published policies mention “hate speech” multiple
times, including in its Statements of Rights and Responsibilities: “You
will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic;
incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.”
Facebook’s Community Standards state that hate speech is
what the company considers attacks against people based on race, ethnicity,
national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender
identity, serious diseases, or disabilities.
Hate speech directed toward public figures also will
be removed, Facebook warns.
This could limit what Facebook members say, whether they are
conservative or liberal, depending on how the company interprets its own rules,
which it does not specify.
In some suspensions, Facebook may have applied the
“religious affiliation” language for Muench’s posts related to Islam. It may
have applied the language on hate speech and public figures to his posts about
Obama, Warren, and Kimmel.
A Facebook spokeswoman said the company does not comment on
individual cases to protect privacy, but that it did not suspend Muench for the
topics of his posts.
She said Muench was posting a large amount, including to
various Facebook groups, which the company’s system could identify as spam
because he often posted almost identical content or content that some
members of groups didn’t like.
Muench was not violating Facebook’s Community Standards, the
spokeswoman said, and the error notices he saw when posting also could result
from his posting too fast.

ReplyDelete"political correctness is a tyranny with manners" said Charlton Heston a few decades ago, and his words prevail today.
This political correctness is fueled with hypocrisy. the hypocrite offended minority who want to impose their ideas by force.
Facebook have automated filter controls, based by the standards established by the users. the users when they see something "don't like" starts to report the post and the internal systems applies the standard protocols. actually the crybabies forced to Facebook to enhance the "sensibility sensors" (yeah, is sensors, no censors, i will tell later the diference) so any "political incorrect" (the truth and only the truth about what they put them umconfortable) is reported and starts the censorship protocols.
