The danger of letting AI rule the world...
Someone else posted this pic on Facebook with the text:
So “someone” (not me) left the sunroof opened, and that’s how my day started… 🤦♂️
(the image shows the interior of a car with piles of snow everywhere)
So I commented "Does anybody really NEED that much cocaine?"
This is the policy Facebook says I violated:
--------------
Community Standards
Drugs
We don't allow people to buy, sell, promote or exchange illegal or restricted drugs.
Examples of things we don't allow
- Selling or promoting any highly-addictive, non-medical or psychedelic drug
- Giving instructions on how to take drugs
- Selling or promoting equipment used to take drugs
Our standards are global and apply everywhere. Even if something isn't restricted in your region, it may still go against our rules.

I was allowed to appeal and the appeal was processed in seconds, so obviously not by a human.
My Facebook account is currently listed as "at risk"
Facebook says
Your account is at risk of being suspended. Fix any issues and check the rules so you don't lose your account or your connections.
although there isn't anything I can do since they removed my comment.
I feel like this is a good place to point out (headline and highlights from the article)
Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show
Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day. Among its responses to suspected rogue marketers: charging them a premium for ads – and issuing reports on ’Scammiest Scammers.’
Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.
Meta’s acceptance of revenue from sources it suspects are committing fraud highlights the lack of regulatory oversight of the advertising industry, said Sandeep Abraham, a fraud examiner and former Meta safety investigator who now runs a consultancy called Risky Business Solutions.
At the same time, the documents indicate that Meta’s own research suggests its products have become a pillar of the global fraud economy. A May 2025 presentation by its safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S. Meta also acknowledged in other internal documents that some of its main competitors were doing a better job at weeding out fraud on their platforms.
