A RWNJ friend just posted a pic of Joe and Kamala, with a pic of the Lincoln convertible - same model that JFK was assassinated in - with the caption Those two would look good in here. Not only did I un-friend him but I reported the meme to FB, whose response was the photo does not violate our Community Standards.
Advocating that the President and VP should be assassinated does not violate their standards?? What does, then? Ive been thrown in jail for WAY less. Truly WTF.

But I have never once reposted any memes endorsing that he be assassinated. That's going too far.

(19,803 posts)I did think, "Let this be the most severe case of Covid in the short history of Covid."
But that's not the way it worked out, of course.

(9,583 posts)That would have made him a martyr. I was hoping hed get really, really sick. Ventilator sick. Enough to take the hoax disease seriously. Of course he got state-of-the-art treatment and walked away.

(16,835 posts)someone reported their photo of Keto Peanut Butter bars and the photo and post was taken down for violating community standards.
The words white supremacy will get you tossed in Facebook Jail.

(16,835 posts)people I know who put up left leaning things get booted or FB jail.
Meanwhile, the right wingers don't tend to get booted or time-out.
There is definitely a point of view by the people who run the platform.

(17,246 posts)They likely just saw the Lincoln, read the text and was like "What's so bad about saying the President and VP would look good in a classic car? Wonder why someone would report this."
My advice is to appeal, and then explain to them the threat and connection.
