Rejected petition Stop the ridiculous censorship of Facebook. banned for saying bobs and vegana!
Rejected on
Have you ever had a Facebook ban for something unfair? Some may find it racist but literally every Indian person I know, knows that it's a joke and takes no offense. Using a "meme" should NOT carry a 30 day ban. Since when is it OK to limit somebody's, sometimes only means of communication with f&f?
Stopping an often vulnerable person from being able to access the support they can often enjoy through the Facebook platform for a "bad joke" or "poor choice of words" should be made ILLEGAL! Politicians make worse remarks on TV and the BBC doesn't ban them so why ban somebody with mental health issues for saying something that wasn't explicit, wasn't racist and wasn't intended to cause offense in any other way? This has gotten out of hand and I think it's time to do something about it.
Thanks!
