A secret about Facebook jail shhhh

Tweet

Well, I'm in Facebook jail again. Third time in a row that I haven't violated rules. First, I was chatting with my cousin who was having a really rough time, and I said I'd like to come kidnap her. Bam, on restriction for "threats and violence". Last month I was chatting with a friend I was going to meet up with, and she said she would get to my house first, so when I got there first I posted that I had "beat" her there. Bam, threats and violence. Now early on, like a couple of years ago, when I got put on restriction, I would dispute and a person would look at it, and I'd get taken off restriction because it was obvious that what I'd said was satire or humor or using a word with a double meaning. Not any more. A bot gets you on a keyword, and a bot reviews it and bam, still in jail. So two days ago I was in a thread talking about how stupid Facebook's algorithm that picks up keywords is, and I used those two same words, "kidnap" and "beat". Bam, a week later I'm in jail again. So just for fun, today I wrote a letter to Zuckerberg with screenshots attached and asked him if this is really what he wants Facebook to be, putting people on restriction even though they haven't done anything wrong, because his bot is too stupid to understand double meanings and he's too cheap to hire enough people to review. But I'll tell you a secret. You can get around it. Kind of. Not for posting, but for "likes". If you push "like" or one of the other emojis, you get a popup saying your account is restricted. But if you push "like" enough times, it stops popping up, you can at least acknowledge people's posts. It's something, I guess. At any rate, it lets me feel like I've gotten something past them. Don't tell Zuck!
