Don’t Say Cheeky Boob Nazis — And Other Crazy Facebook Rules
Your crash course in eluding the social media overlords
You might get banned on Facebook this year. And there’s a really good reason why: Facebook is taking your words and phrases way out of context.
Many people already know that there are certain words and phrases that will get you banned on Facebook. After all, in the first quarter of 2019, Facebook banned over 2 billion accounts.
That’s billion with a big ole “b”.
If you don’t want to become the next statistic, this article is your guide for how to not get banned on Facebook.
Hint: don’t you dare talk about cheeky boob nazis or — gasp — insult cute pet gerbils. 😜
The Looming Threat of Facebook Jail
If you’ve ever been hit by a strike from Facebook or ominously thrown in Facebook jail, you know that the Facebook overlords are always listening.
If you don’t know about Facebook jail, that’s when Facebook blocks you from posting, liking, or commenting for a specific amount of time. Sometimes it’s hours, sometimes it’s days, sometimes it’s an entire month or more. Yes, some people even get banned for life.
