It's News Guys, But Not As We Know it!

[BIAD]

It was only a matter of time, the Thought-Police rushed in to save the day wth their overbearing political
-correctness and then were left with gravy on their faces. Let's just hope nobody on Facebook discusses
the name of the Labrador belonging to Wing Commander Guy Gibson from the Dam Busters raid during
World War II!

OFFAL MISTAKE Facebook accuses meat-lover of hate speech for praising butcher’s faggots.

'Facebook accused a meat-lover of hate speech — for praising a butcher’s faggots.
Stunned Paul Lynch, 55, had his post taken down by the social media giant.

He had urged his online pals to sample the offal dish in the Morriston area of Swansea, where locals
are nicknamed “monkeys”. He posted: “If you’re not buying Thomas’s Of Morriston the butchers on
Morriston Cross’ faggots on a Tuesday are you even a monkey?”


Paul Lynch and the offensively-named food item.

Paul explained: “He makes them every Tuesday and if you go early they are still hot and absolutely delicious.”
However, Facebook said he used hate speech and took down the post. Paul said: “I assumed an algorithm
picked out the word ‘faggot’ because it’s sometimes used as offensive American slang.
I asked Facebook to review their decision, thinking a human would check the context.”

He then got a second message upholding the decision, which he said was “highly offensive and morally wrong”.
Butcher Bryan Thomas thanked everyone who “made kind comments about our faggots”.
Facebook said: “This post was removed in error. As soon as we realised our mistake, we restored the post."...'

The Sun:

By the way, isn't the word 'faggot' -although only spelt with a 'g,' also used to describe a bundle of the sticks in
areas of the US? If so, how will the algorithm know?!
