Tell me, how does the same story, reposted in three different places, conveying criticism about the source of the blocking, lead to phishing issues on three different domains?
It is clearly underplaying questionable behavior that has caused serious problems for a media outlet that were only fixed because this got attention.
- lupire 3y agoObviously because something in the content triggered the phishing filter.
- shortformblog 3y agoAnd what’s in the content that would trigger phishing? Among what you’ll find in the piece: - Criticism of Facebook’s ad policies and functions - Discussion of climate change issues - Links to Vox, government sources, and a bunch of PBS sites https://kansasreflector.com/2024/04/04/when-facebook-fails-local-media-matters-even-more-for-our-planets-future/ https://kansasreflector.com/2024/04/04/when-facebook-fails-l... This gets blocked, yet I see significantly spammier links on Facebook by accident. To me, the real issue is likely that their filters aren’t very good.
- cloverich 3y agoOr the problem is far more complex at their scale than you are considering, and ie simple content filtering is but a mere tiny signal amongst what qualifies links to be filtered.
