Weather Report

Don't mention the weather:

“Sunday morning I found that my personal Facebook account was locked, and I had a message from Meta … to show me how to unlock my account, which I did,” Lupo said in a recent telephone interview regarding the disappearance of the page earlier this month. After he unlocked his account on June 8, he said he “found that the weather page was gone.” Among Lupo’s initial suppositions for why the page was taken down was that one or more of his posts may have been flagged by another user, or an algorithm, for referencing climate change as part of larger discussions regarding Missouri weather. However, Lupo acknowledged he does not have more than circumstantial evidence of this, as Facebook did not provide him with a reason for why the page was taken down. He said the page offered weather forecasts, and also sometimes summarized Missouri climate and the seasonal climate. “Occasionally, when I’ve done that, I got messages about violating community standards,” Lupo said, adding that this baffled him as the page was “just summarizing numbers.” “I would get this warning that your post may violate community standards and that would appear on the page itself for a short time,” he said. He said it was confusing, as he was just informing people whether the temperature was above or below normal, almost saying nothing about climate change itself.

Don't bother them with facts...
