Hey, I remember this money laundering case in 🇨🇦!

We mentioned it in passing on @BetterDwelling 8 months ago and @Facebook took away the ability to manage our page immediately after.

Still haven’t got it back but they admit no rules were broken. 🤷‍♂️

2/ The funniest part of my Facebook saga is they took away my personal account too.

I didn’t do the interview or even share it, but somehow they alleged I violated the terms of service.

A 🇺🇸 politician connected me to a mega media corp & FB finally responded …

3/ to a request for the details of the violation. Hey, look at that — no violations.

Personal account returned but they only kind of returned the @BetterDwelling page.

You see, there’s a darn bug in the FB platform preventing any management of JUST THAT PAGE.

4/ 100 million lines of code and the only major bug is related to a page shortly after it vaguely referenced evidence from 🇨🇦’s gov on money laundering, and it can’t be resolved.

Clearly, I’m the luckiest person in the world. 🤣

The 🇺🇸 politician told us to move to the 🇺🇸…

5/ … so they can intervene at a political level for using creative incompetence to suppress a news org, since they acknowledge no violation was made.

Here’s a little on our issue. PS we’re “critics” of 🇨🇳, without ever criticizing the country. 🤷‍♂️🙄😂

6/ Anyway, mostly ignored it but I would appreciate not having to chose between basic protection of rights or living in 🇨🇦.

Feel free to hook it up.

*cough, cough*

PS founders: funnel your audience off social.

Until a recent hire, we ignored social & focused on building an email list well into the 6-digits.

I’d rather plug @RudyHavenstein tho, since @TwitterSupport nuked his econ parody account w/o reason @ 100k
