You shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense, and I'm sorry that you do. The algorithms are crude and tar with a broad brush. And there are some people who devote their lives to purging the world of some imagined transgression.? Social media will do anything they can get away with regarding their monetizing our data, and then some.? But they will also err far on the side of stupidity when it comes to avoiding legal troubles or getting blocked in any community or country.? It costs them nothing, and they can shunt all objections down an automated e-trash bin. If it's any consolation, Facebook once censored a video of me playing the "Hallelujah" Chorus, claiming I had violated the copyrights of George Frederick Handel and the Robert Shaw Chorale. I wrote to them that the Robert Shaw Chorale did not own the copyright to any performances other than their own. And that since Handel had been dead for over 250 years, the music was public domain. I never got a response. I was able to reinstate the video only by filling out an automated form. I had to claim that it was my music, and that I had a right to post it. I figured since the music was public domain, and I am a member of the public, I was telling the truth. <https://www.facebook.com/peter.klein.58323/videos/vb.808647747/10155956030122748/?type=3> --Peter On Wed, Aug 21, 2019, 2:18 PM Tina Manley via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > PESO: > > I was banned from Facebook for 24 hours for posting this photo which > violates their Community Standards by showing "adult nudity or sexual > situations" > > https://pbase.com/image/169664058 > > Compared to the Leica photos posted on FB pages, this one shows less adult > nudity or sexual situations than most!! > > I guess I will not post the next one on FB!! > > https://pbase.com/image/169664095 > > C&C greatly appreciated. > > Tina
