Facebook once again proves that they are staunch advocates of free speech only as long as you’re spreading hate and misinformation… What kind of idiot would ever say that a game about a historical event from over 100 years ago is a “sensitive social issue”? Who is still debating wether or not women have the right to vote?
Deleting my Facebook account 7 years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made lol
I also deleted my Facebook account many years ago. Maybe 2012 or 2013. But that reminds me of a joke: how do you know someone isn’t on Facebook – don’t worry, they’ll tell you! When I closed mine, I actually went through their download content process, then removed each post and photo and such. I know that this doesn’t mean actual deletion. For a while I left the account active only so I could be notified if someone tagged me in a photo (so I could untag it), but eventually just shut it all down.
Fast forward 7+ years…
I started a small business a few years ago. I tried to do account recovery on my previous Facebook account in order to set up the business page. Just wanted to reserve the name and link directly to our real website, to prevent bad actors from impersonating the business. Managed to recover my account, proving that it was never really deleted even 7+ years later (surprise surprise). Got the business page set up, and then several hours later got locked out, with Facebook demanding I send copies of my real government issued id. WTF. Well, task was complete, so fuck em.
Instagram needed my real government id to prove my age for my dog’s instagram page. I sent them copies of my late son’s fake id and they accepted it.
This makes me want to see what content Facebook still has with my name on it and try to get as much of it removed as possible…
Posting here solely as an exercise in the Streisand effect. ;)
Again with the facepals
He added, “A woman’s right to vote is not a ‘sensitive social issue’. It is established law and fact. A board game about historical events from over a century ago is unlikely to ‘impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation’.”
Hey, now and then, I hear the suggestion that women’s suffrage should be removed. Sometimes even from women that have totally bought into the patriarchy. Still, as far as I know, that opinion remains far from mainstream (thank goodness).
Honestly, there’s still a lot of leftover shit from the Civil War that’s still affecting politics. And that’s almost 70 years older than the 19th Amendment.
So while I agree that Women’s Suffrage is hardly sensitive, age seems to have little to do with it.
Yeah, there are always a few that read The Handmaid’s Tale as an instruction manual, not a warning.
