On Facebook lockdown for two more days

I am still on Facebook lockdown for two more days in quasi-jail (I can like comments, but can’t comment), punished for editing one of my own comments on horses. You try spelling Przewalski’s horse correctly on the first or second, try. It’s nothing like  how it’s pronounced.

When will this ridiculous Facebook AI censorship bot patrol stop, or at least be upgraded to be a useful tool to fight hate speech and racism, versus a stupid cause, like spelling or grammar. I am dyslexic, or as they say, neurodivergent, and I struggle to write clearly. It does not come easy.

Who is being protected from my aberrant behavior, that is, from correcting my own comment too many times? The punitive measures of the Facebook Alt-father is like being sent into a closet for something that you didn’t do. 

I’ve been sent to jail for posting a photograph of Einstein’s desk, a photo of a leucistic chicken and a horse, myriad spelling errors, a video  of friends singing Gregorian chants at my cousin Mike Collins’ memorial, the list goes on. 

There’s no rhyme nor reason, and certainly no learning curve. And  these punitive measures don’t cure us of any habits because none of us actually knows WHY we were sent to Facebook jail to begin with, and there is no way to challenge their utterly asinine decisions. 

Whatever happened to let the punishment fit the crime? Clearly, I am a bad article.
