On a post tbat is notjing more than a single link to a wikipedia page was enough for facebook tomperminately flag me as a child porn offender. Even upon review they upheld it!

@freemo

Don't feel bad. A friend of mine studied the T&C and guidelines closely and noticed that it said that nudity depicted in classical art was exempt from the "no nudity" rules.

So, he posted a image of a really old painting, can't remember which one, but in excess of 200 years old.

Temporarily banned for a month!

Appealed by pointing to the clause stating the exemption; Banned upheld after human review.

This friend of mine is pushing their system quite hard. Posted a lot of innocent things that the algorithms thought was breaches and got hum banned probably >5-6 times by now. Kind of a sport he likes to do... although I try to point out that "trolling algorithms" seems pointless.

@sergeant

@freemo Facebook hate links to Wikipedia, last 2 years.

@freemo I'm guessing the moderator has a document in-front of them telling them to look for pubic hair and they're interpreting it very literally.

Meanwhile at FBI HQ:

"We just received a tip about a child porn ring on Faceboo- Damn it, it's a Wikipedia link again!"

@freemo The most hurtful bans are the ones when one is behaving themselves.
