Yesterday I received a 24hrs ban from commenting on Posts in Facebook groups. This is because someone reported something on the posts I have been making.

I’m actually less annoyed that I was reported and more annoyed that Facebook allowed that report to be turned into a restriction on my account.

This is not fair, as I have been restricted from fighting for equality and equity of disabled people in my local area. This is shameful ableism from Facebook and I have contacted them to demand not only is the restriction removed, but also and more importantly, an explanation for how fighting for disabled rights can result in a restriction. I want to know exactly what I said that they didn’t like.

I am also aware that it is almost certainly a bot of some description that decides whether an individuals account is restricted. But this is not an excuse. Facebook are still responsible for the restriction of Disability activism on there platform. And I will fight this.

I am aware that the restriction is not very long, the issue is that I’ve been restricted at all for activism, not for how long I have been restricted.
