“The chairman of the Russian Orthodox Church’s Department of External Relations, **Metropolitan Hilarion“** I’m not one to usually make fun of a person’s name, but this just sounds like an Onion joke. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I suspect the dynamic here is Facebook would rather piss you off than take the risk of pissing Russia off. Russia and its followers are capable of making more trouble for the company than you are. So they bend over backwards to prohibit anything that might offend any Russians. That seems rather stupid as Russia blocked Facebook over a week ago as part of Putin trying to hide that he was losing the war with Ukraine so badly. People calling them bad guys is not the concern. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > That seems rather stupid as Russia blocked Facebook over a week ago as part of Putin trying to hide that he was losing the war with Ukraine so badly. People calling them bad guys is not the concern. Russia apparently cares enough about American public opinion to start an online disinformation campaign about bio-weapon labs in Ukraine. ---

I saw something in the news about Meta no longer banning posts about Russia’s culpability. Is @Odesio’s suspension automatically withdrawn then? ---

It wasn’t a suspension it was just a removal of the post and a warning for violating their TOS. I haven’t heard back on my written appeal yet. ---

Well, if you feel like tempting fate, you could test that hypothesis and post it again. ---

I got a facebook warning a few months ago for asking my cousin if his booster shot was like getting punched in the arm. Apparently, I was advocating violence. Absolutely nuts. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-violated-facebooks-terms-of-service-ukraine-related/960914.md?page=1)
