Pro Bernie Sanders image blocked by Facebook following possible campaign to report it as 'bad'



Australian Facebook user Scott Collins became aware of the situation when a friend in the US asked him to post an image that was being blocked.

"He said Facebook has been taking down Bernie stuff if it's pro-Bernie," Mr Collins told ABC radio.

"For 50 minutes I just kept uploading [the image] and it was security blocked by Facebook — cannot upload this for security reasons."

Mr Collins realised that Facebook was automatically recognising the image and determining that it was not to be posted, so he took action to beat the system.

Hillpeople aren't nastier than Sanders' people... they're just smarter?

Co-presenter of the ABC's political analysis program Planet America, Chas Licciardello, said it was surprising the attack was made on the web-savvy Sanders' campaign.

"If it did happen just like we're suspecting, then I think there will be a lot of Sanders supporters who will be annoyed at not thinking of doing it first," he said.
