    So @facebook's brain dead algorithm strikes again, locking me (an administrator) out of posting to the @ScienceBasedMed for 24 hours because I posted an article from @oracknows deconstructing a dubious treatment for #COVID19. FB, your #COVID19 misinformation algorithm is 💩.pic.twitter.com/meKK2HTvyB

        Here's the article that triggered @facebook's flagrantly inappropriate ban.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/03/19/blast-from-the-early-pandemic-past-healight-to-treat-covid-19/ …

        Worse, there is absolutely no way to contest or disagree with this ruling. None. @facebook, I'm thinking we should just shut down the @ScienceBasedMed FB page. None of us have a lot of time to deal with it, and you're rendering it useless for combatting #COVID19 lies anyway.

        Meanwhile, I can't even post silly memes or puppy pictures to my personal @Facebook page. Seriously, FB's AI for spotting #COVID19 misinformation is truly nonfunctional.

        I'm just not going to post anything to the @ScienceBasedMed @Facebook page from @oracknows any more. Facebook's stupid algorithms make it not worth the hassle or risk of being banned for combatting misinformation.

        Does Facebook automaticcally flag all articles that mention Healight or something? I just read your article, I don't understand how it could be banned.

        Could be. I don't know. I'm still banned. I don't get out of FB jail until 8 AM tomorrow or so. I can peruse stuff, but I can't post comments or anything.

        I’ve learned this. You can’t have any image or headline that can possibly be misunderstood by the algorithm. Debunking articles need to be worded very carefully.

        I wonder if @Facebook would have flagged it if I had included the word "quackery" in the headline and blurb. I didn't do that because I was trying to be less inflammatory.
