For the second time in three days, on September 4 (re music at Chautauqua) and 6 (re my health issues), I received, within ten minutes of posting, a Facebook takedown: We removed your post
Updates on this decision
You’ll hear back from us soon
Thanks for requesting a review. We’ll let you know when we’ve made a decision. Most people hear back in less than 4 days, but it can take longer.
It looks like you tried to get likes, follows, shares or video views in a misleading way.

This goes against our Community Standards on spam.
Policy Rationale
We do not allow content that is designed to deceive, mislead, or overwhelm users in order to artificially increase viewership. This content detracts from people’s ability to engage authentically on our platforms and can threaten the security, stability and usability of our services. We also seek to prevent abusive tactics, such as spreading deceptive links to draw unsuspecting users in through misleading functionality or code, or impersonating a trusted domain.
Online spam is a lucrative industry. Our policies and detection must constantly evolve to keep up with emerging spam trends and tactics. In taking action to combat spam, we seek to balance raising the costs for its producers and distributors on our platforms, with protecting the vibrant, authentic activity of our community.
How to prevent further restrictions
To keep people safe, we ask everyone using our technology to follow rules, such as our Community Standards, Terms of Service and relevant local laws.
By following the rules, you can help prevent your content being removed, activity restricted, or your account being suspended.

By the way, (and not that it proves anything), I’ve posted the same items on Twitter with no issues. And I took the SAME content of those posts, put it on another blog, and posted it on FB without a problem.
I can post things to my FB, such as my Connections score, other people’s art, and a COVID PSA.
Has Facebook decided I’m not a bot? My 9/7 and 9/8 posts received no challenge, though I never got the Facebook thumbs-up to restore the two challenged posts. Or did something malicious attach to those posts? I don’t think so. The folks at Dreamhost checked.
Dealing with it consumed time that had been previously allocated.
