My group chat got flagged for planning a local cleanup in Chicago

We were just talking about picking up trash in Lincoln Park. The app said we broke rules. Switched to Signal, set messages to delete after a day. No more problems. Anyone else have a normal chat get shut down like that?

My neighborhood watch chat got zapped last year for planning a block party. The auto-mod thought "grill" and "coolers" meant something else. We all just moved to a private Facebook group with a vague name, like "Maple Street Garden Club." It's been smooth sailing since then, no more random warnings.

Ever wonder if they're just flagging certain city names?

@gavincampbell you're onto something maybe. A friend of mine runs a small book club in Denver and their chat got flagged for saying "meet at the park" and "bring snacks." They moved to Telegram and renamed it "Tuesday Night Reading Group" with no location mentioned. Haven't had issues since.
