poltr1Well, now. I am spending Thanksgiving weekend in Facebook Jail. I've been put in timeout for two days. I can't post, make comments, or even like other peoples' posts.
So what did I do to deserve this?
Yesterday, I tried to post a PDF of an 'allergen card' I developed for my UU fellowship, based on prior work by a now-deceased member. We use this for potlucks and dinners to identify possible allergens in food that is brought in by a member. Facebook's content enforcement bots saw this as copyright infringement, and took down the post. I tried to appeal the ruling, but all I got was the runaround -- a link to the appeal form took me back to the original post.
Today, I posted about what happened, and included a screen shot of Facebook's message to me. Apparently their content enforcement bots didn't appreciate me making them look bad, so they took that post down as well, and put me in timeout.
There are other allergen cards out there. But this was one that was developed independently. How can I reach a human and state my case, or appeal their automated ruling? Or is Facebook too big to care?
