I'm not sure if this is related. But today Facebook removed 2 of my comments (were criticizing human rights violation's root causes) automatically without any notifications. It felt as I was prevented from defending human rights, all automated, no way to appeal.

My 9-month-old son, Nidal, is critically ill. Any help you can offer would mean the world to us. Thank you.

@eff.org Some folks I shared this to noted that there is no Mx option, and an honorific is required to submit the letter.

This is a comment for their representative, whose form you are filling out via our page

I assumed as much. Perhaps there's a better way to indicate this re honorifics specifically on your page? Folks are associating the lapse with EFF, not their old fashioned rep.

The page works now yall. I'll be contacting my reps again. Both parties continually going after our speech rights is getting real tiring 😔

I just scanned the senate version and the lawful speech being threatened is "nonconsensual images...child porn...including AI generated content of similar nature" Perhaps I am missing something.

An answer to my question is. Granting power to censor will be weaponized in the hands of assholes. Keep up the good work!
