For over five years, I’ve managed several Facebook accounts. I kept myself abreast of all the nuances of public page ownership. I educated myself about the many algorithm changes and catered to the whims of my small following. I’ve managed to stay on the right side of our silicon valley overlords even as my colleagues on other pages were continually harassed or also suspended for a myriad of things.

Up until July 2019 was showing signs of being our biggest year on social media. Our engagement was through the roof; having viral moments started to become a regular occurrence. Then late July, that all changed for reasons I’m still trying to understand. For the past six months, our page has been dealing with major issues with our public Facebook page.

Here’s where it all started on July 31st our Facebook page received it’s very first violation and fact check. Little did we know this would be the first of many.
