Three years ago in Austin, my entire crew's social media group got shut down for planning a protest about our wages.
The platform said we were 'coordinating harm' just for talking about a peaceful walkout, and it made me see how they'll silence any talk that hits their bottom line... has anyone else had a work-related page just disappear?

Coordinating harm" is a wild way to describe asking for a living wage. Their algorithm must think a picket sign is a weapon.

That's a pretty big leap from the actual terms of service. Coordinating a strike can easily cross into calls for real harm, not just higher pay.

From 2018 to 2022 alone, there were over 700 documented strikes in the US and most of them stayed completely peaceful. So @andrewt41, curious what examples you actually have where coordinating a strike lead to calls for real harm? I mean, pretty much every major labor action in the last decade has been about wages or safety, not violence. Where are you drawing that line exactly?
