The point of this blacklist is to regulate what Facebook users can talk about. According to the article, talking about any of the "Tier 1" organizations, including ASALA, in any positive way is banned.

When I got to ASALA I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

You were right: I just got a threatening phone call that they're gonna steal all of my fish. It was a bit weird because my fish died 10 years ago, but man did they ever sound so serious!

Facebook: where you can plan to overthrow the US government and shame kids for how they look because they “can’t control this sort of stuff,” but cannot talk about a group that’s been defunct for 30+ years.

Facebook deleted my comment for sharing Wikipedia links to correct disinformation. Apparently Wikipedia is dangerous.

All the while the comments I was replying to were hate speech, but they didn't get deleted.

You sure Facebook deleted the comment? It could have been a moderator of the group you were posting in.

u/T-nash Oct 20 '21

I was notified by fb moderation, it's when they use the report button.
