Social Media getting a bit...overbearing.

[Allnamestaken]

I just today got a 24 hour ban from posting and commenting after calling my friend a **** on my own facebook status, this is on a private page which no one can see as I have strict privacy settings.

Now no one reported me and I was INSTANTLY muted the moment I posted it the comment. The comment basically went like this "(Insert name) You are such a **** lmao".
I have called people ***** before so I know this is a new thing and not something that was already in place.

The worst part of it was the reason was listed as hate speech.

Has anyone else had odd interactions with social media like this?

They make the rules, they set the filters, suck it up buttercup

I knowww I know, I should know better but.......

It left such a sour taste in my mouth, I can't even provide feedback haha, like it mutes you from every action including help and support.

Insult him on a whatsapp group chat instead

You know the best part about this comment is today my 4 year old Iphone started having issues with things like whatsapp today so i can't even do that lmao.

Will it help if we all call you a ****?

Just the way it goes. They go overboard on the tame stuff and seem to ignore the scams and stuff.

My friend called me a **** btw in return not knowing I had been muted and they got a mute aswell lmao.

Just so you guys know exactly what it was for.

Well I guess **** is on the edge of what is acceptable now. It keeps changing and this is the first time I have been tripped up personally lol.

I don't approve of that phrase anymore, I used it as a child not understanding the reference. It was just what kids called each other in the 80's. There are lots of phrases I don't approve of and wouldn't use but hate speech has just become backdoor censorship egged on by the Offendosphere (tm).

Yeah I totally understand that.

Its just the first time Ive hit a wall like this, I am pretty aware generally of what I say. It was just a bit of a shock as I've used this word lots of times in the past so it is deffo more of a new adjustment to their moderation system.

 

[Allnamestaken]

Just to clarify, it is deffo down as hate speech too.

Literally just a bot.
I guess I go down on some register as a person who posts hate speech .

I'm with the OP on this. If he wrote it similar to "lol you're an r-tard " then that's just banter between 2 friends. If it was a direct attack though, then that would go against the rules on Facebook and here on OcUK and most other forums. The level of censorship now is pathetic.

Yeah it was literally on my own private post and profile, basic level banter between me and a mate.

The techie nerd in me would just want to find the limit of the bots' abilities. For example: a****st your many faults .....

Hahaha I am so tempted now.

Well thats it, I had enough now. I'm a minority, I don't need the media pulling historical tv shows because I am going to be offended.

The BBC removed Little Britain over concerns for Racism, literally no one has ever really had a legit complaint against that.

Wasn't there a recurring skit where the irritating one did blackface?

It was basically the " hell my black friend" right?

Oh no I know which one now, It was the coffee lady at the airport.

That was bloody funny though, as was Tarj Mansoor or what ever his name was.
Little Britain took the **** out of stereotypes and made a point to take the **** out of racism too.

I don't agree any of these shows should be taken down.
