Well....I'm just out of my week-long time-out and I'm now quite sure that F******k 'Community Standards' are not MY community standards.
This time, I was punished for bluntly stating that "He is a dirty coal whore." The subject, on a People for Bernie page, was Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Evidently, pointing out the obvious about a miscreant US Senator is considered 'harassment' under F******k protocol. Which is shit.
I am actively seeking other avenues. I signed up with WordPress to attempt setting up my own blog page.

WOO-HOO! Suspended for violating their precious 'community standards', forced into time-out for three days (six days on groups - what's that about?) to ruminate upon my sins against civility. This time it was for posting in response to learning that Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, urged seditionists on with the phrase, "There are no rules in war!"
My response was: "Then Mrs. Thomas needs to be prepared to meet a firing squad. What a POS."
Ginni Thomas' atrocity is literally headline news and her opinion is in bold, while my call for equivalent treatment is suppressed.
Such is the 'equity' of F******k.

I seem to remember, last time you broke Facebook's community standards, Sir David Ames, MP for Southend West, faced not a firing squad but a terrorist who knifed him to death. Whilst I'm sure your reference to a firing squad was metaphorical or perhaps whimsical, it seems Facebook algorithms can't tell the difference between that and the real thing.
Concerning Ginni Thomas, I'm appalled that the wife of a Supreme Court Justice has such a seditionist point of view. How can the Supreme Court behave with impartiality when close family members have such extreme views. This, too, would make headline news in the UK and there would be a clamour for the Chief Justice to resign.

Wait...Are you laying the blame for Sir David Ames' lethal knifing to my violating F******k's crappy 'community standards'? Here, Mrs. Thomas has First Amendment rights. She has the right to say what she will as long as she is willing to bear the legal consequences of her speech. Doing so without necessarily condemning her husband. But...It looks really bad. And, it can be rationally assumed that her opinion carries weight with her husband. I personally think that Justice Thomas needs to be removed from the bench. But then, I've thought that since the shithead was nominated for the bench. He is dead weight, entirely. This situation just brings home that point. Instead, he is being called out to recuse himself from all January 6 insurrection cases which come to the high court. Pffffft... Fookin' goddamned Dominionists are everywhere. It is like a contagious mental disorder.

Wait...Are you laying the blame for Sir David Ames' lethal knifing to my violating F******k's crappy 'community standards'? No, I'm not saying that, but the British government is making a link between Sir David Amess' death and Facebook's censorship actions. Immediately after his death, comparisons were made with the previous murder of an MP, that of Jo Cox, an attractive 41-year-old woman. And within a few hours, calls were also made to clamp down on the abuse of women, many of whom fear for their lives because of the abuse. It reminds me of the fierce arguments in the 1980s over whether violence in films influences people's behaviour, (for which there was no evidence at the time). And so, at the time of Sir David Amess' death, there were calls for the British government to do much more about online abuse in social media. Other governments probably feel likewise. You should not be surprised, therefore, that Facebook is trying to clamp down on what it sees as online abuse. If the British government had it's way, which I very much doubt will ever happen, there would be much more of it.

Hmmm...I thought it had been clearly dismissed that violence in gaming engenders real-life violence. You have evidence that it does?
Time for some pearl-clutching, is it?

What does Jo Cox being attractive have to do with it?

Just remember those wonderful years before social media was invented, when there were no murders or violent crimes of any kind, and all people treated all others with kindness and respect at all times.

I've still never been put in facebook jail, even though everyone else I know has I have not either. No need to resort to being nasty and making myself sound like that. I also don’t engage in people that act that way and I don’t need that in my life. So face book jail won’t happen on my end.

Brett - I've known people put in fb jail for .. well literally nothing. One friend was banned for using the word 'jiggers' which are apparently insects in the US. Another for quoting from Monty Python. Their algorithms are total shite

Not that I get on Facebook a whole lot, but on the note of having friends on Facebook…... I have removed trashy mouthed people from my list among a few others. I asked myself, “Would I have dinner with this person? Are the generally nice in person as they are on here? Do they cause problems often?” Among other questions. I’ve really limited Facebook to mostly family.

There are certainly other ways of becoming informed about differing opinions than listening to angry frustrated people being abusive on Facebook...

The whole purpose of Facebook for me was to connect to my close friends and family. Have fun and laughter with them. Enjoy in their success with them or help them through the bad times. Not start a hostile debate with every person I don’t know that hasn’t progressed to past childhood or whatever it is that their problem is.

(Have been reading quite a bit on Twitter, but struggle with seemingly well-educated, attachment oriented parents praising their kids for calling a complete stranger a dumba** because their face mask wasn't on properly).
