facebook, censorship, eugenics, fascism, and community standards violations

A page on facebook that I admin is tagged as having repeatedly violated community standards.

“Your Page is at risk of being unpublished because of continued Community Standards violations.”

Here is the content of that post:

“Operation Paperclip was a secret program of the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) largely carried out by special agents of Army CIC, in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians, such as Wernher von Braun and his V-2 rocket team, were taken from Germany to the United States, for U.S. government employment, primarily between 1945 and 1959. Many were former members, and some were former leaders, of the Nazi Party.” — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

Sharing information about Operation Paperclip violates facebook’s Community Standards.

Next they reinstate the post and apologize:

So I go to reshare that post to add an explanation and update to the page’s followers:

I think that since they reinstated the post and sent an apology that they realize it doesn’t go against their Community Standards, it must not go agianst their Community Standards. So I clicked the link to let them know:

Facebook’s continued blocking of the ability to post on that page, post or comment anywhere on fb, like or indicate any emoji, or contest any of these issues nullifies that apology. The make money off my data and provide no recourse in the use of their machine.

Sharing information about Operation Paperclip violates facebook’s Community Standards. This supports fascism and silencing of people’s voice.

Facebook is one of the most crude, un-nuanced wreck of a surveillance tool available on earth at the moment. I don’t spend a whole lot of time on there, but then why would I? They continue to convince me to spend less and less.

How is facebook not the modern day Hollerith Card?
