The BBC Got Me Suspended

Reposting a BBC article landed me a three-day stint in Facebook Jail.

Sunday evening, October 3, 2021 Frances Haugen appeared on CBS News 60 Minutes and explained how social media titan Facebook is damaging to teen psyches and American democracy.

The following day — coincidence or not — as Ms. Haugen testified before a congressional committee the world at large experienced a blackout on the trio of platforms Facebook owns.

Somehow, I managed to live through the great Facebook/Instagram outage of 2021. (Apparently…I have a job!)
