Facebook is Unamerican and not on your side. I was notified today that I may not post for 24 hours because sometime this winter I posted that I was almost beaten down in a parking lot by three tall Muslim men who thought I was a young boy near the high school. I was wearing a winter parka with hoody and was surrounded by these three tall men with fists clenched. Then one of them said "that's a lady" and they moved away. Turns out some young high school kid had pulled a scarf off of one of the Muslim girls at the high school and to them I looked like a young boy in a blue coat. I guess that's the description the Muslims had. So Facebook decides that's an improper post, violates their rules and I must be punished by not using facebook for 24 hours. Do you see what's happening here? Everyone is right but us Americans.. now, what to do about it.

I would boycott Facebook -- take their 24 hour ban and extend it to "indefinite." I'll join you in this boycott -- I promise that I will not use facebook for at least one month because of the unAmerican tatics they are employing against you!

Thank you everyone. Mike, I am going to stay off Facebook for a couple days but I help out there on a group that tries to help dogs with Mast Cell Tumors so I need to get back there. There really does need to be a nationwide boycott. I suspect in this case that one of their checkers or editors or whatever we want to call them, is also a Muslim and got offended that I would mention them as potential killers. Had they beat me down I would have been seriously injured. They have their own civil rules within their religion and I guess one of them is to go beat up little boys. Had they beat down a small boy, he also would have been seriously injured. --73.178.xxx.xx

I don't understand why anyone would choose to subject themselves to social media. I think the lack of civility and propriety on full display is a dismal reflection of our national derisiveness.

Their day is coming . Europeans are also in the query phase.

I am a free enterprise guy so I am torn but they do have a monopoly so they may get broken up or regulated.

They have received warnings and then went hard left.

Proof that the algorithms are biased will be their end of their being free to affect the USA elections

"Google’s search algorithm can easily shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20 percent or more—up to 80 percent in some demographic groups—with virtually no one knowing they are being manipulated"

Unamerican? Huh? Their site, their rules... just like your rentals and any other American business. If you don't like the rules don't use it or your could spin up your own social media site. My guess is that you will be putting in your own rules after a short adjustment period. --72.49.xx.xxx

Larry, I had seen them previously hanging out in front of the Mosque four blocks from me in their "nightgowns".

JAC, you have your rules for your rentals but try discriminating against a protected class and we will see what happens to you. When I have occasion to talk about the incident again on Facebook, I will refer to them in a different way. Probably the word "Muslim" gets highlighted in some way so the "editors" can find it and block people who refer to them.. --73.178.xxx.xx

And maybe leave out "nightgowns" too.

I find it hilarious that you are surprised that FB temporary banned you for your hatred... And that you think they are "Unamerican" for trying to stop bigots from posting as often. Sheesh.

Facebook isn't targeting you for using the word "muslim." They targeted you for being intolerant and offensive. There is a huge difference.

John, my original post was almost exactly what I first said in my first post. No mention of nightgowns, just the facts. You seem to like to pick fights with people. You should stop that. --73.178.xxx.xx

I like to pick fights with people? You're the one getting banned from Facebook for insulting groups.

And most of us remember that you did the same thing here not long ago -- insulting most of the females landlords on this forum. Repeatedly.

So, I'd be very careful about the rocks that you throw from your glass house... I might insult you once in a while, but at least I'm not stereotyping and insulting huge collections of people with my posts.

"Nightgowns" Really?

You know what else the First Amendment protects? Religious freedom.

That's how important our founding fathers thought it was. They put it right next to freedom of speech.

I don't agree with most people in religion just like I sometimes don't agree with people's opinions. But I recognize their right to exercise and believe in whatever invisible friend they choose to. --96.35.xxx.xxx
