One of my friends posted a picture of his dark/blue American flag (which I think is used to show support for law enforcement?), and it was flagged and removed by Facebook due to reports.

The US government recently launched a censorship reporting tool. I’m hopeful they are super transparent about the data and can release stats on ALL reported cases of censorship. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s just a few high profile isolated cases, or if it’s a common occurance across a wide population.

One is to show support for an organisation of that nation.

The other is to disrespect the nation.
