Votes for Women, the critically acclaimed card-driven wargame about the fight for women's suffrage in the US, stands to miss out on up to $60,000 of backing for its second print run after Facebook repeatedly banned ads for the game due to it featuring a "sensitive social issue".

    Meanwhile, I reported comments calling for the mass execution of LGBT folk and “this is not against community standards”.

      It’s insane. Your report requires that someone reads the posts and is literate enough to understand the meaning of the content. It should not stand, and if it was posted by a real local person, then you should alert the authorities.

      I reported someone for posting a shock video of a graphic and violent traffic accident, in a local marketplace group. It requires that someone presses play and watches 5sec, yet that was okay dokey.

      Facebook’s own moderation is beyond being a joke, it’s a problem.

      The inescapable conclusion is that Facebook’s official policy is homophobic.

      Why does this seem to be a go to in every Facebook related post now? This has nothing to do with threads, why keep bringing it up?

          Wouldn’t it be fun if every time an article came up about Dunkin Donuts, people just started talking about Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings or Sonic?

          Because that makes as much sense as “It’s a topic about Facebook, which is owned by Meta, which also owns Threads.”

    I’ve been on Facebook since it opened to the public and watching it turn into nothing but a nazi recruitment platform over the last decade is very disheartening.

    I used to love it, especially the games. Now it’s nothing but nazis and bigots ruining it for everyone else and there are no human mods and AI doesn’t understand context so the second you’re on the defensive you get banned.

    Bertram said, “Facebook has, of course, ignored any requests for information – so I do not know for sure it is a human taking the ads down, but that is what appears to be happening.

    Of course?

    “The struggle for equal representation and a political voice was at the heart of the suffrage movement."

    Well… sort of.
