As the photo evinces, recently I was blocked by Facebook.  Blocked

What did I do?  I posted some iconic photos of the great Josephine Baker on one of Judy Mauer’s inspirational Facebook posts.  

The problem, according to Facebook, is that her breasts were barely bare in one of the photos.  To be honest, I didn’t even notice, but they sure did and I had to promise to be more careful in the future to regain my platform. 

If you missed me on Facebook, now you know why.  

I would post the “controversial” photo here, but the last thing I want to be is guilty of double jeopardy  and run afoul with the Comment Counting Commissioner.

Did not know the old Triple C still existed....
Btw amazing that FB caught the pic but missed all those bots and fake accounts and more three years ago.

Interesting what they consider offensive. As Corey suggests, the inconsistency is amazing

Yikes, I've never seen that before. I wonder whether someone reported it to Facebook and that's what happened. Or was it blocked immediately?

I'm sorry I was the instigator if your blockage - but it happened to be one of our better exchanges - ha ha ha . Gotta keep the culture coming 8-)

I find their filters inconsistent. I guess we'll never know just how naughty that picture may or may not have been.

So the lesson is that a woman’s breast is more dangerous and offensive than the nastiness, hatred and horrific stories of destructive behavior that fill the feeds. There’s nothing wrong with the social media conceptually. I do wonder about the people who control it.

The comment counting commissioner has been very quiet lately.. .

But it’s okay to show a penis . Or not . Depends on who sees it . Or who’s judging on any given day . The sexuality or gender of the viewer . Everything is completely arbitrary and inconsistent and random . Oh yeah , just like the world we live in . You can be disciplined by a panty waisted nerd around every corner . The snitch police at every turn . Tattle Tales rule in the new world . The sleaziest of characters rule the roost . The once bullied are now the bullies . No means yes . It’s Opposite Day . The arbiters have no guidelines . Oversight is a thing of the past . Guilty til proven innocent . Alleged carries a sentence with it . Girls are boys and boys are girls . The metamorphosis comes swiftly and unabated . Can we keep up Derf ? Me ? I have my sights on the big waves of Nazare’ and like I’m prone to say .... Trespassers will be shot .

When Burt Reynolds died, I posted his iconic Cosmo centerfold and was blocked also. Are we really back to Puritan censorship?
