Got a permanent ban from a big social app for a comment about a local protest
I was talking with my friend Jake last week about the protest that shut down Main Street. He said, 'They just want to be heard, even if it's loud.' I posted something similar online, saying the disruption was annoying but maybe the point. Next morning, my account was gone for 'inciting violence.' It was just a talk about free speech. Has anyone else been banned for just discussing a public event?

Inciting violence" for that is wild. The bots are just broken.

Man, tell me about it. I got flagged last week for saying a movie fight scene was cool. The filters are way too sensitive now, catching totally normal stuff. Feels like you can't even have a normal conversation without tripping some alarm.

Seriously? I used to think those filters were just being careful, but getting flagged for talking about a movie is nuts. That would've made me roll my eyes before, but hearing it actually happened to you shows how broken the system is. They're clearly catching harmless stuff now.
