FB didn't post three of my comments and cancelled me for a day. In two comments I used the word "kill", as in EVs someday killing gas and diesel powered vehicles. In another post I said self-driving vehicles could kill people. FB said they cancelled me for 24 hours because I was condoning violence!

In a third post I posted a link to a pellet gun saying I would use it on squirrels trying to get into my attic. (Did not say the word "kill" this time.) The Crosman guns are all over the Internet and sold by dozen of retailers like Wal-Mart and Cabellas. Never mind though, I was advocating violence!

This was probably ultra-leftist Berkeley grads making these decisions, along with a Stupid AI that doesn't understand context. If I didn't have grandkids I'd say I hope those idealists idiots get exactly what they want. One ruling class party with no dissention allowed, under penalty of imprisonment or death.
