In search of the reasoning behind this, I came across this article. So apparently, anyone that Facebook deems to be a racist will be banned. They are blaming the Christchurch massacre.
"Starting today, people who have broken certain rules on Facebook -- including our Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy -- will be restricted from using Facebook Live," Guy Rosen, Facebook's vice president of integrity, wrote in a Tuesday blog post.When I received the original ban, they did reference the "Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy" which they claimed I was in violation of. My first offense of this policy was my posting of a picture of the inside of a Venezuelan hospital emergency room with the caption "This is where government run healthcare ends up." According to Facebook, that makes me a dangerous terrorist.
A comprehensive list of offenses that would see a user barred from Live wasn't included, although the examples used all had to do with circulating terrorist-related content. (emphasis added)
I would note that Facebook has no problem with Antifa being on their site. Antifa has caused more violent attacks than I have (I have not caused any)
I've been on Facebook maybe 4 times in the last few years to look up contact info or check on a friend. Get rid of them. You'll be happier and impact their revenue. How many people are on Facebook just to follow you or a small handful of people? Remove yourself, and other people will also have less reason to stay.
