So what goes against Facebook standards? Is letting people know you voted against their policies? How about encouraging people to get their ballots in?
There are some conservative media outlets that are working hard to convince people that social media is out to get them. That websites like Facebook are working hard to bury their conservative message. Although I am proudly a very left leaning liberal, my message was neither conservative or liberal.
My message was simply that I had voted, and that I was encouraging people to get their ballots in as early as possible.
Was it true? Well, this is what I find most frustrating. What part of that message could even be disputed? What part of my message could be controversial? My ballot is in, it has been accepted, and I encourage others to do the same as early as possible.
The link was from my own state government. So how could it be disputed?
What other posts have been taken down that are as benign as mine? What caused them to be taken down? Was it an automated bot? Did someone turn me in? Was it a human that looked at it as offensive? I may never know. That is what bothers me the most.
