Facebook apologized on Thursday to Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL) for flagging a video that was shared on its platform of the congresswoman installing a transgender pride flag outside of her office as hate speech.
Bad algorithm. No donut.

I’d say I was done with Facebook, but I would have had to start with them first, and I never did.
Wait! I’m confused. I thought FB was always shutting down conservatives. Aren’t they anti-conservative? That’s what the GQP keeps telling us.
I read that headline as FBI instead of FB.
Always was the risk when folks were celebrating the quieting of trump, that this shit would spread to stuff that we care about.
At some point there does need to be some government oversight of the rules of the game for what is and isn’t okay on these public-facing social media sites with user-created content.
Regulation. What a concept.
Usually political issues are described as having a right and wrong side. There’s also an asshole side to them and idiots like Greene always take it.
Makes me glad I’m not on Hatebook.
Yup. Only going to get worse if we don’t do something about it.
I’d rather have some sort of government entity with oversight of it than a few billionaires in silicon valley.
You bet…now Gohmert, Gym and RonJon will be running out to INSIST DAMMIT that Newman MADE them be so hateful because…you know…DEMOCRAT!!!
So should the actual companies involved, given how many tight wet knots FB is tying itself into trying to work this out by themselves.
“See what you made me do?”
Now where have I heard that line before…? (Hint: Any domestic abuse case.)
If more is revealed on the FB side I’m going to guess that the Newman video was flagged by FB users. And those users would be QAnon , SB, and other conservative groups that support MTG.
I have a liberal friend in Iowa that gets her comments shut down pretty regularly by FB, or administer of the page she’s commenting on. She’ll repost when she can , and her comments are nothing to get one’s panties in twist. Though she does tend to be a grammar Nazi.
Lauren Boebert (R-Dungmuffin) is going to have to up her game to keep up with Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Fruitcake)
I decided long ago that I would never work on Zuckerberg’s plantation.
Conservatives are OBSESSED with other people’s gender and sexuality. Like in an unhealthy way.
Get some counselling people!
MTG needs to get over herself (or find another job). The next generation coming into voting age identifies itself as “gender fluid” for 1 out of 6 in that age group.
Their bathroom floors are mighty moist. It’s a slipping hazard. Safety tip.
Best assume a wide stance.
