That viral "free speech" meme about the library got me banned from 3 Facebook groups last night...

I always figured those takedowns were exaggerated but after getting hit with a 30 day suspension for posting a cartoon of a burning book, I'm starting to think the algorithm really does pick sides on this stuff.

Man, that's rough but honestly not surprising anymore. The moderation bots just scan for keywords without any real understanding of context or intent. Did they actually give you a reason for the ban or was it just a generic automated message?

Bet the bots can't tell the difference between satire and real threats though.
