HELP.? I posted the below excellent article from IBM's own website at the IBM Retiree Facebook group.? This topic was elsewhere in the news as well.? BUT a moderator of the IBM Retiree Facebook group rejected it because it mentions the President's name.? It just does not make sense this wonderful article is rejected.? Who is checking to make sure there is proper moderation if they insist on moderating every post.? It can take forever to get anyone's attention is there is a problem.? This just happened to me before, rejected of a good article, because someone else already posted something similar.? That does not make sense, as each article could be very different, let the reader decide, don't censor.? This all seems overkill in moderating the Facebook group.? Anyone else having this happen?

The article title is "IBM and CEO Arvind Krishna Welcome President Biden to Poughkeepsie Site, Company Plans to Invest $20 billion in the Hudson Valley Region Over 10 Years."


The reason the moderator declined the post was:??

It was probably just the uninformed bot that blindly found keywords/phrases, and as my coffee cup says "to mess up is human to really muck things up takes a computer".? Me, I totally ignore Facebook.

This is not a bot rejection.? Roy just posted that they are reviewing the many pending posts (all posts are moderated) and specifically said no posts with any mention of a president's name. So that is how he answers my concern. Even a great business article from IBM's website about their major expansion in use of the Poughkeepsie plant.? Surely, there should be an exception for a quality article, they can turn off comments if that is wanted as they are not moderated.

I agree that not being able to post an article like this 'just seems wrong' in the extreme. HOWEVER, there is most definitely a political aspect (WRT the president) to this event and it is not unreasonable to speculate that your post could 'go political'. This is kind of reason #12 why my Facebook ID is Gargen Gurgel.?
