Facebook Community Standards of Early 2025

Aligned with Russian interests

I found war-mongering comments from a bot identified with the Russian flag and the letter “Z”, posted on basically every announcement on a Ukrainian embassy’s Facebook page:

I’ve reported those posts for inciting violence, but the request was denied as Facebook claimed there is no issue there.

I’ve complained about the decision, but got the exact same response:

I think this deserves to be recorded as a testament of Facebook’s actions at these interesting times in history.

Bizzarely, I’ve also posted these screenshots on Reddit’s /r/europe, advocating for creating and using EU-based software, but that was also denied, on the general grounds that social media screenshots are not allowed there. That decision must have been made by a very bureaucratic mod, since the screenshots are not about social media content, but social media software.

Interesting times indeed.
