Recently Facebook has had ads about their Facebook groups.
There are several of those I belong to that deal with politics. But what groups
does facebook show on their ad? Is it a group based around issues or political
groups? No! We see members of the International
Kazoo Players Association.
Facebook had to look long and hard to find a cutezy group that
was innocuous enough that no one could be offended by them. There is nothing
controversial about playing a kazoo.
In the meantime I posted a link to one of my political blogs
and to my surprise I got a message that claims I violated their community
standards. Someone claimed my blog was spam. I don’t know who lodged the
complaint but the only thing I was allowed to do about this was to punch in a
message that told them I disagree with their actions. They have taken all my
comments were I posted a link to my blog. This is clearly a case of censorship.
They have allowed on person to use a complaint to block me from posting notices
of new posts on my political blog. Sense when can one person shut down my
personal comments because they don’t like my politics? Facebook needs some type
of system so that I can protest these kinds of decisions.
