Facebook Account Copying Trump's Posts Word-for-Word Gets Flagged for Inciting Violence

https://www.newsweek.com/facebook-donald-trump-suspendthepres-experiement-post-tweet-flagged-inciting-violence-1510418?fbclid=IwAR0qqOR5BU-FwZ2bunBD7hXQVNJRwPnky1LlR7niBFfwSoLyohjIbgL_a_w

Facebook account copying President Donald Trump's social media posts word-for-word was flagged this week for violating rules on "violence and incitement."

The warning was received yesterday by "Will they suspend me"—a profile conducting an experiment sharing Trump's updates verbatim to see how the platform responds. It uses the handle @suspendthepres on Twitter, where the test is also ongoing.

The notice forced the deletion of a post that remained untouched on the president's own page, containing the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." It warned that the account would face a 24-hour suspension if it broke the policies again.

Use them to promote our family business. I refuse to look at our “feed” when I boot it up. I did just follow @suspendthepres on twitter...I’ll watch it and see what happens.

Am on because ive move around and keeps me in loop of family. But im thinking of deleting. Have quit looking. Zuckerbergs stance on this has been the last straw.
