Apparently Facebook is under some kind of attack. Posts are being randomly hidden

[wyldwolf]

Most of my friends are saying their political and corona virus posts are being hidden, though my one post hidden was on the passing of Lyle Waggoner.

1. Probably just one of their upgrade cycles

Happens all the time

2. I'm sorry, but I wish they'd just kill it off.

I realize people love it, but to me it has become a real menace with very irresponsible overseers.

4. Become?

It’s original intent was to ridicule the physical appearance of women in college.

6. It was the wet dream of a homely nerd.

It still is.

9. Would not want his karma for anything.

Despicable person.

My friends and family used to tease me for my lack of participation in that abomination when my business would have benefited from a presence there but they’re all singing a different tune now and telling me I was right all along. Any progressive who still has an account with them is a hypocrite.

10. It's a toxic sewer with a hotline to the Kremlin

No Thanks...

11. Exactamundo.

And I have the sense that it’s most nefarious purpose is still ahead.

12. You sir, are correct.

3. Nothing I posted has disappeared, and I've been on a roll, today

[SWBTATTReg]

5. My charter email is down (the server)...

[blm]

7. Mine, too

[morillon]

8. Pretty sure it's an attack

As I was saying on another thread, very normal, very legit posts from the most respected news outlets in the world are being flagged as spam.

My advice would be to dispute the report and then file a bug report to let them know their platform is removing articles erroneously.

13. Well, FB hid one of my posts

No idea what comment was hidden. Now FB won't even load. How annoying.

18. Facebook says a bug in its anti-spam system is blocking the publication of links

to news stories about the coronavirus.

14. I just realized--it could be AI content moderation

Since many doing this are contractors who are now at home

15. It might have something to do with this:

17. Yep. The Russianazi tool calls his DOJ dogs off & the bears are let loose. This is just the argument

Zuckerberg has been making when he says he's going to end-to-end encrypt Facebook.

THEN Barr and Trump will make sure the Earn It Act is passed to allow ANY of them to surveil ALL the Internet without warrant.

Schiff and House Intel need to seriously weigh in on this move.

16. On Facebook's Facebook page I'm reading three posts:

-- "Facebook acknowledges a bug is blocking coronavirus news" Facebook says a bug in its anti-spam system is blocking the publication of links to news stories about the coronavirus."

-- "Facebook blocking posts: Exec admits a bug took down news stories
Users complained that links to news stories were blocked on the grounds that they violate "our community standards on spam."

-- "Bug causes Facebook to mark some posts on coronavirus as spam
A bug in Facebook's anti-spam system caused the platform to mistakenly mark some posts from individuals and publishers…"

The last is from The Hill. https://thehill.com/policy/technology/488151-bug-causes-facebook-to-mark-posts-on-coronavirus-as-spam

19. They hid two of mine

yesterday as well.

Both were political, but no more political than usual for me.
