Facebook removed my comment, calling it hate speech! In their infinite wisdom, the comment "Because women are crazy and men are pigs," I am told, is unacceptable hate speech. (Seriously??) My comment was in response to an article about why people apparently have less sex these days. There were a bunch of comments starting with "because..". I'm a lifelong, bleeding heart liberal ffs! It feels so weird to be accused of such a thing! Incidentally, "because women are crazy and men are pigs" is the first thing that popped into my head and although I meant it as I joke, well... But, c'mon facebook. Wish they'd go after the real haters..

facebook doesn't read the posts. they count the reports against it. if you protest to them and explain that it was a joke, a human being may actually look at the post and decide.

@daylily someone probably re-reported it. but it is odd that they didn't accept your plea. i would protest the ban too. they don't punish you for protesting. but i wonder how you can find out who reported you? someone did, you know. facebook doesn't go around looking for this sort of thing. bots, yeah. this, no. what are your settings? friends? friends of friends? could it be the person who posted the article to which you responded, or a friend of that person's? i'd do some snooping around. get rid of the person who reported you and you won't be bothered anymore even if you post the same thing (unless, of course, more than one person reported you -- which i can't imagine, since it was NOT hate speech).
