Tried posting a leaked government doc, got flagged in 3 minutes flat

I dropped a PDF link from a whistleblower site into a public Facebook group about city zoning, and the auto-mod nuked it before I even hit refresh. The kicker? The doc was already posted by a local news station in Toledo, Ohio, so it was public info. The group admin told me the filter caught it because of the word 'classified' in the filename, which is wild since the content was just parking lot contracts. Has anyone else had a system flag something that was totally legal just because of a keyword? I still don't get how they pick what's worth blocking.

Why should a filter care if it’s public when bots can’t tell context apart?
