Facebook Flags NY POST Political Article 'Spam'...

FACEBOOK FLAGS NEW YORK POST ARTICLE ABOUT TRUMP VOTERS AS ‘SPAM’


By Peter Hasson | Reporter 712:16 PM 08/23/2018 4
Facebook appears to have flagged a New York Post article about supporters of President Donald Trump as “spam.”
Post columnist Salena Zito published an article Wednesday evening explaining why Trump supporters are unlikely to care about the criminal convictions of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
Facebook removed Zito’s post after she shared it on the website, she said Thursday.
“I’ve received nine separate messages from readers telling me the same thing has happened to them,” Zito noted on Twitter.

Facebook restored Zito’s Facebook post shortly after The Daily Caller News Foundation contacted a company spokeswoman, who promptly responded to say that Facebook would look into the matter.
A Facebook spokeswoman issued a vague statement attributing the incorrect mark to an unspecified “error.”
“An error affected our automated systems today, which meant that some posts were incorrectly marked as spam. We’ve identified the issue and worked to fix it. We apologize to everyone who’s been affected,” the spokeswoman said.
Some of Zito’s readers reported receiving messages from the social media company claiming the article looks “like spam and doesn’t follow our Community Standards.” (RELATED: Facebook Plans To ‘Dial Up’ Suppression Of Certain News Outlets)

Zito shared the example below with TheDCNF:

This isn’t the first time that Facebook has inaccurately flagged right-of-center articles as “spam.”
Readers of The Daily Caller in April were blocked from sharing a story on the lost-and-found text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Facebook blamed its “spam” algorithm for the suppression, which it said was in error.

Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
