Facebook thinks so

This issue began when I posted a blog about why I was quitting Facebook. As is my want, I tried to share it on Facebook so that my friends, family and acquaintances would know why I wasn’t there anymore. (I know, I know: not a very well thought out plan…)

Almost instantly, Facebook said that it breached their community standards and therefore could not be seen by anyone but me on their platform. OK, I thought, so be it.

But then, I decided to give it another go, this time with a different blog. (This was a few weeks later.) Using the WordPress link at the bottom of the post, I clicked Facebook and was met with a note that my posts had been blocked because they’d been reported as containing abuse. Abuse?! Really?!

And this ‘ban’ includes Messenger…

OK. I’m one of those fake news perpetrators now. So that’s interesting…
