I just got two of these today. Did someone report this as objectionable? It was two days after the post. Maybe someone caught that I typo'ed the word and. The other post was equally benign and in a different group on a different day.

The AI probably thinks you're talking about another kind of 'shaft' and 'injection pump'?

Typical FB from what I can see.   Random solutions to problems that may or may not exist.

I had a FB marketplace post up for 3 months without issue and then the AI flagged it because it thought I was trying to sell drugs or guns.

... I was selling speakers.

Sometimes the AI just sucks.

So just to follow up with this, I can no longer post comments on Facebook. It seems someone most likely reported one of my comments as spam and Facebook has blocked commenting until they do a review. But Facebook does not do the review quickly, and there is a pretty fair chance they will never do one judging by the comments of other unhappy posters. So nice job Facebook. I'm effectively censored either for a long time or forever. No recourse and no one to discuss it with in person.

Common problem with the bigger hammer approach to problems. Collateral damage. If in doubt, smack the E36 M3 out of it.

“Cheap”. “Easy”. “Throttle”. “Shaft”. “Pump”. “Injection”. 

Pervert.

I had a softball bat taken down from FB marketplace due to it violating some of their terms.  Which terms and which misguided bot took it down, I shall never know.  But, as we get to use that and many other platforms for free, we get to put up with all the beta testing that goes with it.

If you give them $ and post it as a political ad, they won't censor it.

This is your sign to get off social media. I did it and never looked back. The only "internet socializing" I do is with you people, and I try to keep that to a minimum even.

You're thinking of Data from the next generation, who was also a robot. Data has more personality than zuckerberg does though.

Thanks Grizz. I’m a huge original series fan, maybe some day I’ll really get into DS9.
