Facebook Labels Animal Rights As Spam.

Facebook’s updated spam policy is being used to block articles related to animal rights from being posted to fan pages and walls throughout the social network.

Some Facebook users are reporting that after posting animal rights related content, Facebook placed a lock on their wall and deemed their content “spam or irrelevant content.” The site is also sending automated threat letters warning them that if they continue posting similar content, their profile could be “permanently disabled.”

Sadly, I don’t think it’s just animal right pages being hit by Facebook spam police. Many other left-leaning posts and pages are being blocked and admins are being threatened with termination if they continue to post related content.

It’s hard to believe that little mom and pop Facebook pages are spam when Facebook is crammed with corporate “fan pages” spammy posts. Corporations are just promoting their products for financial gain whereas politically minded individuals are simply expressing their beliefs by re-posting relevant articles.

Facebook has yet to comment on the whole controversy. In the meantime, share this article on Facebook and see if they send you a threatening pop-up.
