Got flagged for posting a 1950s magazine ad on social media

Last Thursday I tried to share a vintage ad from a 1957 Life magazine that showed a family gathered around a TV. It was a clean image, nothing offensive, just retro stuff. Within an hour the platform took it down saying it violated their standards on "harmful content." I appealed it and got nothing back. The ad wasn't even political, it was just a dad in a suit smiling next to a console TV. This kind of overreach drives me nuts. It's like they can't tell the difference between history and hate. Has anyone else run into platforms flagging old media for no good reason?

Are you really that pressed about a bot moderating a retro TV ad, man?

Everything's getting automated to death while real decisions get ignored.
