Apparently, even mentioning Linux can get people banned on FB.
(Reports are mixed.)

(I guess we need to remove the Facebook ethernet driver from
the Linux kernel? Lol.)

Seriously though -- it seem like this is most likely a
problem with their AI moderation.  Meta is a member of
the Linux Foundation, and uses Linux extensively.

This isn't just an "own goal", it's as if they hauled-off
and gave themselves a black eye.
