"Facebook Flags the Name of a Gardening Tool When Used in a Gardening Group".
A group called WNY Gardeners has been repeatedly flagged by the social network for “violating community standards,” when its more than 7,500 members discussed the long-handled bladed implement, which is spelled with an “e,” unlike the offensive term.
When one member commented “Push pull hoe!” on a post about preferred weeding tools, Facebook sent a notification that read, “We reviewed this comment and found it goes against our standards for harassment and bullying,” a moderator said.
I wonder what Facebook will make of the word "spade".
I can't wait for the return of President Trump, so he can do to Big Tech what Big Tech is so blatantly asking for (& deserves)
ReplyDeleteBtw, spare a thought for the people of the English city of Scunthorpe - or anyone with that surname - they have no end of trouble with email addresses, & so on.
Wait until a gardener mentions a spade.
