DC: Facebook ruled this weekend that a post dedicated to Officer Ronil Singh, who lost his life in the line of duty, was in violation of its community standards.
Officer Singh pulled over Gustavo Perez Arriaga, 32, early Wednesday morning under the suspicion that Arriaga was driving under the influence. Arriaga, who was in the country illegally with two prior DUIs, allegedly shot and killed Officer Singh, who is survived by a wife and a baby.
A post dedicated to honoring Singh also expressed the user’s desire for President Donald Trump and Congress to build a wall along the country’s southern border.
The post on Facebook read, “This is [O]fficer Singh. He was killed by an ILLEGAL Alien 5 Hours after he took this picture with his beautiful wife, baby and k9! This is precisely why we need to #buildthatwall! RIP hero.”
Below the post it says, “This post goes against our Community Standards on hate speech, so no one else can see it,” which is a message from the platform to the user.
In response to backlash, Facebook later changed that ruling. “ more here
Pretty much says it all.
izlamo delenda est …
People are still using Fakebook?
For what? I haven’t seen anyone take a food selfie in years.
I think it has something to do with this –
WE REMOVED SOMETHING YOU POSTED
We removed your post because it’s true and makes
democRATs look like idiots.
This is a violation of Facebook Community Standards.
Facebook is a cancer
cut it out of your life
Why is fakebook even relevant?
Funny how these “mistakes,” just like elections where the results change after the 482nd recount, only happen in one direction.
TRF says it all.
efferberg is an enemy of our Constitution and should be jailed as such and ANYONE still using FB is just an effing moron.
I really, really, REALLY hope President Trump flies Officer Singh’s widow and child and K9 to DC and plants them right in the front row when he gives his State of the Union address later this month.
