I got restricted on Facebook. I haven't been allowed to post anything, comment on anything, contact anyone through Facebook Messenger, or even click "Like" on anything since Thursday.
Because, apparently, this picture of a little boy urinating on a Trump lawn sign is . . .
Because, I am told, this is child sexual exploitation, though I don't know how showing a little boy's bare bottom while he's relieving himself on a Trump lawn sign is exploitative when you can't see anything worse than, well, a bare bottom.
I got this from a friend's Instagram feed. Guess who owns Instagram.
Meta!
Since the same people who use Instagram also use Facebook and vice versa, what the hell is Meta doing by penalizing me for posting this to Facebook?
Aah, computer bots are policing Facebook and Instagram now, not real humans. What's really galling is that I clicked on a button for a form with which to fill out on Facebook to challenge the removal of the photo and the resulting suspension, but I got a message saying the feature doesn't work and that someone is working to get it fixed.
Yeah, right.
The real reason for this photo being taken down, I suspect, is because the real crime is demonizing Trump, whose hateful rhetoric has been very good business for Meta. Meta has just lifted its ban on content promoting the fallacy that President Biden stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump, and so has YouTube. That is why I made this video.
I plan to post this video to my Facebook timeline as soon as my restrictions have been lifted, which should be either tomorrow or Monday.
In the meantime, I would encourage Trump's opponents to take advantage of the right to free speech and speak out against him as much as possible. After January 19, 2025, we may never get the chance again.
