Facebook is actively removing postings I'm making today. I maintain a foothold on Facebook, knowing its tawdriness and that it's no friend to progressive politics, because I oversee a family history-DNA project that's housed there. And Facebook is one way I can keep in quick touch with a wide circle of relatives and friends.
First posting removed today: Jess Piper's graphic (below) about white women voting in this election.
@wdlindsy I’m posting it to my account. We’ll see what happens.
@AlliFlowers Please let me know. I'd be curious. In the 2016 election cycle, any time I posted anything with the phrase "white evangelicals," Facebook yanked it. People told me this was "just" the algorithm at work, but I think there's inbuilt censorship that also targets certain people's accounts if others have complained and reported to try to shut them down.
@wdlindsy I posted the image with only “FYI” as the text above.
@AlliFlowers Please let me know if FB takes it down. I posted it with no comment at all — only the image.
@AlliFlowers Thank you!
