Facebook Bans the Phrase STOP the STEAL to Protect Biden’s Inauguration
IWB ^ | Chris Black

And now you know why there has been a push to have all of the digital services live “in the cloud” instead of companies and people owning their own infrastructure

Facebook bans “potentially violent content” “Stop the Steal” before Inauguration Day on January 20, including a temporary large-scale ban on phrases associated with the MAGA crowd that stormed the Capitol building on January 6th. The policy, detailed in a post published Monday by Facebook Vice Presidents Guy Rosen and Monika Bickert (check the early life section), includes any content that contains the words “Stop the Steal”.

Steal the stop

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yep. Just change the phrase “Stop the Steal” to something else, just like what you said.

Hence, Scooby-Doo might say it, “Rop the Real”, or you could say, “End the Stee-yo”, or in another language.

I did that. Posted image below.

Got a 7 day suspension for that within 15 minutes. Then their algorithm kicked in and calculated that I had a total of 7 notices of 'violated community standards' :-) and gave me 30 days in "FB jail".

I was already in-process of leaving, so my personal account will be deleted by the end of the day.

In the meantime, I'm not going quietly.

THIS is my response (new account 'Johnny Doe' and new group cited below):

Enough is Enough. (still up 4 hours later)

I suggest FReepers who want to poke them also create a new fake account and their own group. While it lasts, apparently their algorithm isn't looking at groups. Call it my parting shot. I could care less. ALL FReepers should be free of FB and twit et al by the end of the week. I'll join you and call out the hypocrites when the time comes.

I don't understand why people post images of text, rather than simply typing in manually the text themselves. (These prefabricated memes also often contain egregious misspellings - and I can do without them!)

In any event, I posted "Stop the Steal" (without the pound symbol - is that important?) 18 hours ago, and have yet to receive any notification / warning from Facebook.

Regards,

The sarcasm is unnecessary; I simply wanted to share with you all my experience with "poking" Facebook. I don't regard myself as some great "Freedom Fighter" for having done so.

Yes it was. Because I assure you on the basis of my own experience and PMing with others that you will eventually get a warning, if no an abrupt 7 day ban on posting/commenting.

In my case, it was the last in a string of over a dozen ‘warnings’ from Big Brother.

My account is now deleted; what I find curious is the lack of declarations by other FReepers, including you.

Hence the sarcasm (re ‘hypocrisy’; I calls it as I sees it).
