I posted this image as my Facebook profile pic about three days ago. Today, I woke up to find I was temp-banned from Facebook for "violating community standards. No explanation, no warning.

We knew you were dangerous, just not how much until now
.For me, facebook and all the other "social'media are read only thingies. There is just so much BS out there, and I simply don't have the time to plow through the crap, that means nothing in the end. Happy Banning day!

I've noticed that facebook has been going on a censorship spree in the past months. Banning lots of people and pages, if they don't conform with some supposed "community standards".
I'm talking about pages which were banned for "offensive" jokes (i.e., making fun of feminists and manginas). Not because they trolled or actually harassed people. Just because they had "offensive" material (memes).
Then in Europe, it's on a whole other level:
"The U.S.-based group launched its "Initiative for Civil Courage Online" in Berlin, pledging over 1 million euros ($1.09 million) to support non-governmental organizations in their efforts to counter racist and xenophobic posts."
Facebook begins Europe-wide campaign against extremist posts
So much for free speech.

Did you contact FB (as impossible as that is) and request explanation for the ban? I don't think I ever seen anything remotely offensive on your page. And why they would ban you for that picture is crazy. Shit half my friends has that or something similar as their profile pic.

@Marauder06 - I have to wonder if there is something else you posted that got flagged by "someone". I've Googled the hell out of that Texas "blue line" flag and cannot come up with anything about it being banned from Facebook.
And yet they tell me a spammer in some groups I'm in (with absent admins) who is posting actual porn videos isn't violating their nudity/community standards.

well, obviously you are some kind of militia, domestic terrorist member.
I've reported a bunch of spam accounts and pages for extremely graphic Daesh propaganda lately; more "doesn't violate" BS.
I'm changing mine to that image and see what happens.

It was a profile pic brother, there is literally nothing else but that picture.
And it wasn't just me, either. Several of us who adopted that image as our profile pic got jacked.
I did. But I don't expect a response, much less a remedy.
Many of you are FB friends with me. You know that due to both my personality and my job IRL I'm very careful about what I post on FB. This is the first time in the history of... ever... that I've had any "disciplinary" action leveled on me by Facebook.

The PC, is not a power to be trifled with, and there is no appeal. When they say you are wrong, that is it.
Yeah I'd have thought that if it was the profile pic they'd have removed it.
Bloody odd. FB is getting passe now anyway, they've probably done you a favour ha!

I will say this, it might not be you, but maybe someone you are friends with. FB has, at times, closed accounts based on associations only.
Not saying that is the case here...
