FACEBOOK FLAGS NEW YORK POST ARTICLE ABOUT TRUMP VOTERS AS ‘SPAM’ (Salena Zito)
The Daily Caller ^ | August 23,2018 | Peter Hasson | Reporter

Posted on 08/23/2018 3:50:48 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Facebook appears to have flagged a New York Post article about supporters of President Donald Trump as “spam.”

Post columnist Salena Zito published an article Wednesday evening explaining why Trump supporters are unlikely to care about the criminal convictions of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

Facebook removed Zito’s post after she shared it on the website, she said Thursday.

“I’ve received nine separate messages from readers telling me the same thing has happened to them,” Zito noted on Twitter.

Facebook restored Zito’s Facebook post shortly after The Daily Caller News Foundation contacted a company spokeswoman, who promptly responded to say that Facebook would look into the matter.

A Facebook spokeswoman issued a vague statement attributing the incorrect mark to an unspecified “error.”

“An error affected our automated systems today, which meant that some posts were incorrectly marked as spam. We’ve identified the issue and worked to fix it. We apologize to everyone who’s been affected,” the spokeswoman said.

Some of Zito’s readers reported receiving messages from the social media company claiming the article looks “like spam and doesn’t follow our Community Standards.” (RELATED: Facebook Plans To ‘Dial Up’ Suppression Of Certain News Outlets)

Fakebook’s anti-conservative filters are working just fine.

Facebook is a forum I very seldom use.

I snagged my D1 identity there and left.

I show up about once a quarter to check on my account, and get the heck out of there.

I hardly ever go on Facebook now. Too bad they have gone to the dark side. I used to be able to catch up with family and friends who live out of state. Guess I have to find other ways to do that now!

I am proud to say that I have never been on Facebook or twitter or anything other than this fine place.

I have been trolling Kathy Griffin on Twitter to get her to trigger, but no reaction thus far. Either there are just too many people posting to her feed for the twit to keep up, or I’ve been shadow banned...

I’ve got a Twitter account too for the same reason.

I’m there even less, except when Trump makes a comment.

My phone directs me to it and I leave.

I actually had Norton Internet Security's Safe Web/Antiphishing controls flag Breitbart.com as a fraudulent site. Needless to say, I got really upset and contacted Symantec support directly, and they told me there has been suspicious attempts to flag multiple Conservative leaning sites (Breitbart, Townhall, Daily Caller, National Review, Gateway Pundit, Lucianne, and several others) as fraudulent using Norton tools. They have since cleaned up their act and Safe Search/Antiphishing no longer flags these sites as fraudulent.

The lawfare didn't work. The smear campaign didn't work. The infamous efforts of the partisan media shills resulted in bupkis. Cut off access to new media, to Visa and Mastercard... Thanks Hojczyk.

Why is it that all their sofware bugs are partisan extreme left wing? I did not realize that software bugs could be so blatantly biased toward conservatives.

Never heard one of their software bugs creating problems for left wingers.

Dump Facebook. Humanity existed for millennia without finding what boring people did every day. It’s devolved into another opportunity for the libtards in Silly-con Valley to harass conservatives in the rest of the country.
