andrewduckerEarlier today, Facebook restricted my account.
This is the reason they gave:
What you're seeing there is a standard example of what I do when I repost my daily links poston Facebook - some kind of preamble list/quote (in this case it's a list of Quidditch teams) and then a list of the tags from the post.
Obviously, this either contains neither nudity nor sexual activity. And, looking at the link it has in it that doesn't have nudity or sexual activity either.
Now, the restriction notice actually says that *multiple posts* didn't follow their standards. But the last time this happened I filed an appeal, successfully:
So they seem to be taking into account previous *successfully appealed* posts, where they admit they got it wrong!
And this time around there seems to be no way to appeal.
Three things occur to me:
1) Either someone is maliciously accusing me of having sexual posts/nudity and they aren't checking before marking a post that way - leaving me open to malicious accusations or their automated filter is really rubbish and nobody is checking what it spits out before they ban people.
2) Not having an appeal process is ridiculous.
3) Taking into account previously successfully appealed posts is, if anything, even more ridiculous.
If anyone knows anyone at Facebook they can point at this, I'd love to get it sorted out. Not just for me, but for anyone else who is caught up in this kafkaesque situation.
