Just got locked out of The Facebook for the second time in two weeks, this time thanks to a MegaChurch Xtian bitch I happen to know IRL, who recognized herself "all to clearly" in this post and falsely reported it as a TOS violation:
It could be the swastikas on the comic book cover, along with the repeated use of the term "Nazi", were considered "hate speech". I know is a bit of a stretch, and I too disagree with the decision, but I'm just saying that is how they think.
I would discount the likelihood of a human decision, given that the FU notice from Facebook arrived three minutes (maybe less) after I pushed the 'send' button. No time for a complaint to come up through a queue for human attention - but about right for a "certain person" camping on The Facebook to see my post, fly into a towering rage, and push a few well worn buttons. :D
I do plan to create a few "TOS violating" sock puppet accounts, and use one to test my ability to censor other users' content on demand.
Yes, that thought comes to mind quite a bit these days, so what we're seeing is the training of the populace to to f#ck one another over, through the abuse of power. A non-centralized system can be used in a similar way, but only localised, and through your local authorities, whoever -they- are. Which leads to the though, how to identify snitches in a decentralized p2p "anonymous but not really anonymous" comms platform? Well, CPs already know the answer, and the easy way to do that is automate it - introduce slight variations in the messages you send out, per-contact. Any non-munged report that comes back "to haunt me" identifies the original recipient, any munged report was literally not sent by me and is literally, and legally (and morally) a vicious and slanderous defamation against me which must be denounced in the most black and white terms imaginable. Let us teach the "petty Nazis" a lesson already! ;)
