I hate articles like this about things getting past a filter in an adversarial system that give no context about what it means. How many group pages does Facebook autogenerate per year? How many extremist groups get blocked? What resources are claimed by facebook to be aimed at solving this problem? What organizations have a better track record? What regulatory requirements and public organizations exist which help or hinder efforts? For all we know this is a resounding success on Facebook's part.
"Keyword gets blocked so people start using a euphemism that hasn't yet been blocked" isn't a shocking story.
- ttyprintk 2y agoI think this story is that Facebook, for years, has synthesized local or regional organizations based on user “interest”. So there’s nothing organic or spontaneous about The Michigan III%. It almost certainly matches the moderation regex for militia. If someone were to emerge as it leader, well that’s a very interesting result of what appears to be inexpensive surveillance.
