Facebook violates my standards

So today i woke up and got this message from Facebook saying that one of my shares, from September 2017, violated their “community standards.”

So i went and found the original tweet and re-shared it a few times because fuck Facebook, that’s why. Here it is:

See that part where the sexy shit is cropped out, toward the bottom? That’s it. That’s literally all there is. So a guy without a shirt, and rebellious talk against His Reviled Reptilian-ness Ted Cruz.

And so Facebook reviewed it. And reviewed it again. And again. And again. And every single motherfucking time, they said NO:

But, see, here’s the thing: Facebook’s reviews of content is the most inconsistent thing in the world. To wit:

So what can we infer from this? It seems as though they’re okay with [dumbass biker-porn] female nudity, self-harm (seriously, that video was of a guy cutting the shit out of himself), and people trying to sell shitty pills (for context, the guy had obviously stolen the drugs – shitty “diet” pills – from the dollar store where he worked). But if there’s an inference of sex or porn – or just speech going against a universally loathed Republican? – then they will bring the hammer straight the fuck down.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
