Jim Wright was following Trump? That's news to me. I was in close touch with him then.

Took a break from packing, discovered all my META accounts were locked.

Hmmm

Seems META removed one of my posts ... FROM 2017? And it seems I may have shared or sent symbols, praise, or support of people and organizations META defines as DANGEROUS or I may have followed them.

Ur?

Let's take this in reverse order.

Followed them?

Wut?

So, it's illegal to follow certain accounts on this platform because they may be dangerous? Okay. Can't find THAT rule in the Terms of Service, but okay. If the accounts are so dangerous that *I* get suspended just for following them, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ALLOWING THEM ON THIS PLATFORM IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Who's running this thing? Drunks? Children? Insane people? Billionaires? (but I repeat myself) Who?

The post was from 2017. <redacted dangerous individual> was president.

And that post was A SCREEN SHOT OF THAT GUY'S COMMENT ON THIS PLATFORM ABOUT A MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE THAT WAS IN ALL THE PAPERS, NEW MEDIA, AND ON THIS VERY PLATFORM.

Now, that dangerous individual was eventually removed from this platform for being a dangerous individual, but META HAS SINCE ALLOWED HIM BACK ON.

But you're not allowed to follow him, I guess?

Yeah.

Now, to the oh so ironic crux of the matter: The person and/or organization I shared was THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at the time and also THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And, yeah, maybe that is a dangerous outfit indeed, but I would suggest to you, Mr Mark Zuckerberg, that there are plenty more dangerous governments out there and you let THEM on this platform and don't suspend people for following them.

Seriously, what in the hell?
