Turtleboy Backup Facebook Page Suspended Again For Sharing Our Podcast, Here’s How You Can Help Us Fight Back

Facebook is out of control. If you haven’t heard the news, our backup page was suspended AGAIN. This is why you must LIKE THE TURTLEBOY SAFE SPACE FACEBOOK PAGE.  For the second time in three days. What crime did we commit this time? We shared our podcast from 100.1 FM the Pike on Tuesday morning:

As you can see there is no dispute button. No recourse. Nothing. The suspension is final.

This apparently qualified as “nudity”:

This is insane and it’s probably never going to end. We can create all the pages we want but at the end of the day all some asshole has to do is sit in his basement, make a bunch of fake names, and spend his entire day reporting every post we’ve ever made.

Mark Zuckerberg is a fucking asshole. Plain and simple. And I’ll tell you another thing, this is why Turtleboy likes people like Bernie Sanders. Because these corporations like Facebook make billions upon billions of dollars, and they create pretty much no jobs because they are greedy. Over one billion people use Facebook and they employ roughly 7,000. That’s one employee for every 150,000 people.

And none of them work in customer service. Because Facebook doesn’t have a customer service number. Ya see, Mark Zuckerberg would rather buy himself another blowjob than he would to hire someone to answer the phones. Fuck, he could outsource it to India and they’d work for 30 cents an hour. But he’s too Goddamn CHEAP to do that.

And for everyone who is inclined to say that Facebook is “censoring” Turtleboy, first of all we love you. Thanks for having our back. But secondly, Facebook isn’t censoring anything. Repeat after me:

NO ONE WORKS AT FACEBOOK!!!!

I don’t think people are getting this. If you think a human being at Facebook is looking and reviewing over every single one of the millions of frivolous “reports” made by people like the guy from Fitchburg who shall go unnamed, then you’re missing the big picture. It’s all luck. It’s a numbers game. There is no algorithm or banned words that a computer even looks for. It’s just a numbers game. If you report our Facebook page 10,000 times (and I’m sure some people have done that) then eventually Facebook’s software is going to assume that we’re violating their standards. So the computer spits out one of these automatic messages about nudity and puts us in timeout.

Are you all getting this yet? A gigantic corporation doesn’t want to cut into its profits so they cut back on personnel, and have a computer randomly decide what posts are offensive and what posts are not. Because OBVIOUSLY a human being would not look at this:

And determine that it’s nudity. Obviously.

We’ve gotten a lot of advice from turtle riders on this and we appreciate your support. A lot of people have told us to call their customer service number, so we did. They only let you talk to a person if you’re a cop looking to trace an IP address. Some have suggested filling out the form in the help section. So we did. Many times. Never heard back from anyone. We even wrote them a personal letter via the pony express. No response. All we need to do is speak to a human being. Someone with a brain. Tell them that ONE PERSON in Fitchburg is sitting in his mother’s basement all day, reporting every post we’ve ever made, and saying that it contains nudity. If we can just speak to a human being they will see what’s going on here and they can hopefully take steps to fix it. So please, if you know how to do this, please let us know. We’ve searched for our problem on the Google machine and can’t find a single other person that this has happened to. We need your help.

And unfortunately we also need Facebook. I’d love to tell them to go fuck themselves, but half of our traffic comes from Facebook. One of the coolest parts about Turtleboy is the interaction on social media. Look at a comparable page with 25,000 followers. Their posts don’t get a fraction of the responses and likes that ours do. And every time someone likes or comments on our page, their entire friends list sees it, and then they hit the like button. This is how we’ve grown so fast. Because of Facebook.

Our primary Turtleboy Sports Facebook page is still serving a 30 day suspension. I’d say that we are looking forward to getting it back on March 22, but what’s the point? The second that page comes back from suspension we’re going to be suspended again. The hackers will be sitting in their basement hitting the report button over and over again. It wasn’t easy building our audience so big, but the fact of the matter is that it’s over. We’re never gonna get that page back for good unless Facebook does something to correct this.

My question is, how come this doesn’t happen to other sites? You think we’re the only ones who piss people off? Mark Zuckerberg is a liberal, and a PC dooshnozzle. So how come much bigger sites like the Daily Caller, Matt Walsh Blog, and The Blaze, don’t have these sort of issues? Here’s a couple things Matt Walsh has posted that might rub some people the wrong way:

I don’t agree with him, but he has a right to say these things. Nevertheless, that’s a million times more controversial and offensive than posting a link to a podcast. Just for the purpose of experimenting we reported the page for “hate speech.” We said this post was offensive to homosexuals. If our page gets reported a lot, I’m sure he gets reported for hate speech by butthurts all the time, since he has over 400,000 followers on Facebook. Naturally Facebook sent the standard message back about reviewing it and determining that it doesn’t violate their “standards.” Because nobody reviewed it and nobody works at Facebook.

Look, Facebook is a private corporation, and they can do whatever they feel like. But this is a free market, and if this is what their business model is all about then eventually someone will come along and replace it. It’s only a matter of time. If Facebook is going to do stuff like this then it’s not a real social media site. People want the freedom to post what they wanna post, and eventually they’ll get sick of this and use a social media network that doesn’t treat them like children. Because real social media sites don’t let some ex-con in his mother’s basement shut down something that the community clearly enjoys.

In the meantime, we HIGHLY suggest you get a Twitter account and follow us on Twitter. It’s not the same thing as Facebook and it takes some getting used to, but Twitter doesn’t suspend accounts for sharing podcasts.

One last thing. We want to write a big story on this that hundreds of thousands of people will read. We want to show the world how INSANE this is. We want to expose Mark Zuckerberg for being the cheap fuck that he is. In order to do that we need to start chronicling Facebook posts and pages that are extremely offensive, but yet aren’t being taken down. To that end we ask you to start reporting offensive pages as much as possible now. We want you to do this so that you can screenshot the messages that Facebook sends back to you. Probably 99% of the time they will tell you the posts does not “violate their standards.” And if we can show the world what Facebook says doesn’t violate their standards, and then compare it to this:

Then a lot of people are gonna share a story like that, and perhaps then Facebook will do something to fix their faulty product. In the meantime we’ll still be blogging hot takes and sticking it to the man. Because NO ONE can stop the Turtleboy Sports Revolution.

We urge you to support the Turtleboy Sponsors by doing business with them. Without them none of this is possible. Click on any of them to check out their sites or Facebook pages.
