Secret Facebook document reveals the words that will get you banned - as users reveal they've been suspended for as little as calling a friend 'crazy' and sharing a Smithsonian story!
Facebook users have shared stories of receiving bans after jokingly calling their friend 'crazy', sharing a Smithsonian magazine story on tribal New Guinea and labeling someone 'sad'.
The social media platform is understood to have internal guidelines which are not made public on moderation. In documents seen by The Wall Street Journal moderators are told the sentences that are and aren't allowed.
Writer Alex Gendler claims he was stopped from posting after sharing a Smithsonian magazine story on tribal New Guinea.
And history teacher Nick Barksdale told The Wall Street Journal he received a 30 day ban after writing to a friend 'man, you're spewing crazy now!'
Facebook, which reviews two million posts a day, does not tell users how many strikes result in a permanent ban and has not released data on restricted accounts.
Its independent oversight board is set for a momentous decision on the platform's ban of former US president Donald Trump Wednesday.
The ruling is likely to be a defining moment for the leading social network's so-called 'supreme court', envisioned by company founder Mark Zuckerberg to make thorny decisions on what to allow or remove from Facebook.

- Facebook has internal guidelines which are not publicly available on moderation
- Newly uncovered documents reveal the sentences that are and aren't allowed
- One not allowed is: 'It’s disgusting and repulsive how fat and ugly John Smith is'
- But the document adds: 'We do not remove content like “frizzy hair,” “lanky arms,” “broad shoulders,” since “frizzy,” “lanky,” and “broad,” are not deficient'
- Recent graduate Colton Oakley says he was banned from posting for three days after calling those who are angry about loan cancellation 'sad and selfish'
