I know it's not directly on-topic, but I find it amazing that people end up copping a seven-day ban for a bit of titty, but then nothing is done for those videos of people killing puppies and shit.

There are plenty of racist extremist kooks on FB, and their posts are rarely - if ever - banned. Apparently a stray nipple is more of a threat to society.

  A stray nipple is a cheaper binary test than "above some threshold of ideological hatefulness"

    "cheaper binary test" shouldn't be the way to decide though.

      It's the quintessential Computer Science way to decide. "Which algorithm has lower complexity? Nudity filter? Ok, use that one." This is why it's very frustrating that any equivalent of "the public square" on the internet is almost always owned by a private entity.

  Full disclaimer, this was a picture of me where my dick is kinda visible - I was intending on uploading it to a secret adult only group where this shit is consensual which I know is taking a bit of a risk, but it harms/affects absolutely no-one, but accidentally posted it to the wrong group.

On the other hand, I find it interesting that everytime somebody is complaining about censorship on Facebook, they are almost always following up with complaints of some other objectionable content not being censored. The think about the nipple ban is it is a really simple rule and it is really easy to decide if a picture contains a nipple or not.

  I suspect Zuckerberg had a traumatic breast feeding experience as a teenager, and decided if he can't do it anymore, nobody can.

  Only girl nipples though, which is another stupid thing.

I think it was my third time to be honest, I probably fully deserved it, I just think taking away people's ability to speak privately to people is verging on cruel and unusual, and from an uncaring perspective a fucking terrible way to instil trust in your service. Like hey, do you want to use one of these messengers where you wont get banned for utter bullshit, or do you want to entrust your communication to a service where you can lose it for an arbitrary period for breaking some of our shitty prudish rules?
