'It's frustrating': Municipal links removed from B.C. community Facebook pages (bc.ctvnews.ca)

“Everything my staff has put up has disappeared. Meetings, public hearings, bylaws, notices about water shut offs or road closures, anything we would post back to our main website has been removed.”

Coyne said the reason the posts were removed, according to Facebook, was because they went “against our Community Standards on cybersecurity.”

“It’s a struggle especially during the fire season here,” said Coyne. “It just makes it really, really frustrating because how do you post a PDF that says where the evacuations are, this is the map, this is the information you need to know, when those pieces of information keep disappearing from the social media channels that we use?”

The purpose of commenting isn't to inform or educate, it is to be informed or to be educated.

And you had every opportunity to do so, but unfortunately fell short, getting hung up on some kind of weird and hilariously unsuccessful attempt to put down another person for no reason beyond arbitrary feelings that have no place in a rational discussion. Shame.

I did already gather that you too are just looking to be informed or educated. I mean, all talking humans are. Nobody sits around all day talking about what they already know. That would be absolutely pointless.

However, good faith participation will start from the unknowns and introduce the occasional nugget of information in which to build from. Consider it the cost of discussion. This is how we go from what is unknown to being informed through the process of what we call education.

But no nugget of information was ever offered in this case. It went straight to nonsensical name calling, without capturing anything that relates to the topic in play. What did you hope to gain from your bad faith showing?
