I just wanted everyone to know that Facebook blocked my access for 3 days. The reason was - I responded to someone's post regarding problem sparrows. My response was "shoot them or trap/euthanize". Facebook says that shooting or killing any animal is against community standards. I appealed their decision explaining why sparrow elimination was necessary. I haven't heard back. Anyway, be careful if you access PMCA on Facebook - their unknowledgeable minions might block you.

Unbelievable, but expected. What do brainwashed minions know about this subject? I’m sure they don’t know or bother to find out, that it is perfectly legal, at actually encouraged by federal agencies, to eliminate non native invasive species such as HOSPS and starlings. Complete morons control and work for big tech social media.

Agree, its bad enough to know the average FB moderator knows nothing but what's really alarming is that half of them know less than that. I would say most are worthless but I wouldn't want to give them too much credit.

Facebook is a mess! I know they own Instagram, but it seems less ridiculous when it comes to censorship.
