"Misleading"

 

Seems I have joined the company of people who have 'offended' Facebook AI bots. 

Do you see anything in that notification of what I posted that was misleading?  Me, neither.

I'm not against 'moderation' of large groups.  Wish they would do more of it, frankly.  OTOH, I have carefully 'curated' my FB feed so that I don't see the 'worst' of humanity - mostly.

But FB is using AI to 'monitor' feeds, so essentially I've got a petulant 3 year old (language level) bot telling me I've tried to attract 'likes' by posting something misleading...without telling me which of my posts is at fault.  I mean, it could have been a moment of sarcasm that has gotten me into trouble, I don't know.

I scrolled through my FB posts and can't see anything missing, so again - I have zero idea which of my posts caused the wrist slap.

And how, exactly, am I supposed to learn from this chastisement?  If I keep repeating this 'bad' behaviour (my second warning) they can do what - cancel me?  OK.  You know, maybe that wouldn't be so bad?

Except that I have a lot of people on FB that I enjoy interacting with, sometimes only superficially, but it's a way to stay in touch with people at a distance.

Since I don't ever want to mislead anyone, I'm left in a dilemma - continue as before, or start to self-censor.  Which means that I start to question everything I post (or re-post - because it could have been something someone else posted and I just shared it?)  And again, that's not a bad thing - no one should simply post something because of confirmation bias.  

OTOH, since I have zero idea what they are objecting to, I guess I continue as before.  

But here's the thing - if I suddenly disappear from FB - it will most likely be that petulant bot.  What they cannot do, is shut down this blog.

If you like what I say, how I say it, feel free to subscribe to this blog.  Seems I still have a lot more to say and generally will say it here.  At least until Google starts to censor blogs...
