Got a 48 hour ban on Reddit for linking to a government report on election security
Last Tuesday I shared a PDF from the DHS Inspector General's office about the 2020 election audits, and within an hour I got hit with a rule 2 violation for "disinformation." The mods wouldn't even look at the source when I appealed, just copy-pasted the same form response. How do we push back when platform rules get used to silence people sharing official documents?

The town hall thing is so familiar. Facebook flagged a post from our neighborhood Watch group about a county budget meeting date, said it was "spam" - it was literally a screenshot of the official county calendar. It's like these platforms decide what's true based on who's yelling loudest, not what's actually documented.

Same thing happened at my town hall meeting last month. Local Facebook group deleted a post about the zoning ballot language because someone flagged it as "misleading," even though it was a straight copy from the county website.
