Why do they even pretend to give a reason anymore. Just close it. Nobody is buying the "hate speech" "adult sexual exploitation" whatever arguments, and honestly it just makes facebook look like liars.
Just delete the group and say: "It violated our terms of service". That's probably also a lie, but at least it's a little less obnoxious.
Or just delete it and be honest: "Our VP's rowing crew buddy from Harvard who now works at Citadel asked us to shut this down and he's more important than you."
Reminds me of when I and a whole flight's worth of people were waiting hours in line at the airline's service desk to rebook flights after a missed connection. One guy waltzes up and steps right into the front of the line. People object to him pushing in, but the guy stays where he is and says "sorry, I'm business class!".
The airline employees let him do it, and just repeat to us: "Sorry, he's business class!" He gets served first, saving literally hours compared to joining the back of the line.
Yea, so? How is this the same thing? He paid for that service. It's equivalent to paid support tiers where your query gets answered faster than others. Or is it just fashion now to shit on rich people even when they are playing by the rules?
That's not even close. As long as the first/business/economy classes are transparent in their policies and privileges, then it's okay. There is no cheating here.
The thing that gets me is that they don't ban specific people, it's always the entire community that gets taken down. But totally nothing to see here, guys.
If you manage a community that is even remotely controversial, you’d better start asking your community for their email address, as an emergency backup.
Possibly even ask for their phone number.
Though it's tempting, don't message them at all. Just hang onto it.
Only use it to if your community is banned and you need to start over somewhere else. Then email/text them the location of the new community.
You probably should start an alternative community right away so that you can promote it in the current community and maybe cross-post until you get banned with a warning on each post in the twitter/facebook community.
Exactly. Many controversial instagrammers create a backup instagram account that they only barely use, and occasionally refer to. If their "primary" account gets banned, the backup already exists and has a history.
I suspect people do this with Twitter and other social media accounts as well.
I suspect you can do the same thing with groups. For example when WSB went down there were already backups within minutes.
I apologize for this; I had high hopes based on mention here, but really thought that documentary was terrible. The word itself is great, but there was about 10 seconds of anything that resembled the levels of reality distortion that are now quite commonplace. I was mostly interested in the Soviet system of full-spectrum propaganda such as staging protests against themselves, which was only mentioned in passing. There was basically no common theme running through it, just a bunch of weird stuff that happened, mostly relating to US foreign policy, mostly blaming it on personalities of republican presidents. It felt like it was itself the sort of propaganda meant to distract from real fundamental problems and place blame on boogeymen, rather than an exposure of the same. I chose it for movie night with people I live with, which was embarrassing for me.
