Facebook has given me a community standards violation for posting about Movetodon back in November. So much overreach.
@jperlow "Overreach"? That's like McDonalds asking you to leave when you bring in a Burger King meal and sit down in their restaurant to eat. Like, I see why it upsets you, but from their standpoint, it makes perfect sense; not doing so would be negligent.
Plus, it's nice that they're doing it so transparently. Imagine if all mastodon content was just quietly never shown to anyone?
@LouisIngenthron then they should have problems with twitter and every other social media outlet being cross posted. It’s very much overreach.
@jperlow Crossposting wasn't what you described in your original post. It's a tool specifically designed to help people abandon centralized social media in favor of decentralized, which is a threat to their business model (whereas crossposting tends to be a boon to their bottom line).
And that's before you get to the security concerns:
You described a tool that "logs into your account" which is a common attack vector for phishing scams. If you were more precise with your words (i.e. "Movetodon needs authorization to you account to access it through the Twitter API"), then maybe it wouldn't have been flagged.
@LouisIngenthron But community standards violations have nothing to do with threatening business models, and there is nothing in the previous CS verbiage that says this is violating content. They made this up, recently.
@jperlow Lol, community standards are *entirely* about protecting the business model. Some just work on a longer timescale than others.
As for your second statement, it's blatantly false. It took me 5 seconds to look this up: As of June 2022, they had the following language in their Community Standards defining a banned cybersecurity practice: "Creating, sharing or hosting malicious software including browser extensions and mobile applications, on or off the platform that put our users or products and services at risk."
You unquestionably shared software that they feel puts their product at risk. You may not consider it malicious, but they may see that differently.
