Facebook Flags the Name of a Gardening Tool When Used in a Gardening Group
PJ Media ^ | 07/22/2021 | Bryan Preston

The Biden White House leans on Facebook to censor your speech online if what you say goes against what the Biden White House wants you to say.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a fact. Let’s see how well Facebook handles the very sensitive topic of policing even non-political speech in a nation that’s built on the principle that speech must be free, and where people have wide varieties of interests that may fall outside Silicon Valley’s collective experiences.

Facebook flagged the word hoe in a gardening group.

Oh. No. They censored “hoe.”

Wait ’til they figure out what people do with certain emojis…

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.

The word hoe is banned. Must be they thought the gardening group was talking about Kamala Harris.

How about we use a Spanish type spelling, replacing the ‘H’ with a ‘J’? This way Joe = Hoe and vice versa.

Just call it a “push-pull ho.” Or a “Harris” for short.

I read that the fakebook AI algorithm got its digital panties in a wad about someone suggesting that gardeners drown all Japanese beetles...

The smarter they get, the dumber they are.

Almost a year ago they threatened me with a 30-day suspension for a repost concerning spoiled ballots. It essentially said if you recieve a ballot with any sort of mark on it to wad it up, throw it away and request an ‘unspoiled’ ballot. The bastids had the audacity to claim it was ‘election interference’ of all things! I quickly told them to go piss up a rope and left.
I was a member almost since creation but they couldn’t pay me enough to return now.
