I have a wee bit of sympathy for FB here. The F word is most commonly used in the USA as a homophobic insult, hence the palaver about Fairytale of New York. So in this case I think they're trying to do the right thing. Maybe they can come up with some algorithm that exempts Black Country FBers.
Mountains and molehills. I expect Facebook have an automatic flagging up of certain words, and "faggots" came up. They realised their mistake and uncensored it. Is there really a story here? It seems more like the media just looking for anything they can sensationalise.
it's just a funny story, Mozz, like newsreaders garbling Jeremy Hunt's name. No great significance in the wider scheme of things.
After eating, you just try smoking a fag.
'Fury'

Right then.
Yume have.
///the Dudley South Tory even invited Facebook's billionaire boss Mark Zuckerberg to come and sample the local delicacy "next time you are in Brierley Hill"///

that's a pretty vile suggestion, douglas. No wonder tempers are running high.
The sad thing here is people actually subscribe to a FB page about meatballs...good grief do they post thier favourite pics? lol!
You do realise that anything which can be described as ‘woke’ is immediately jumped upon by the press (especially the gutter press)?
//Is there really a story here?//

I think so. Here we have a "social media" site censoring a perfectly acceptable word that has been misappropriated. I don't know if AB censors the word faggot. We'll see.
Seems not. Quite right too.
I wonder if FB still censor the word 'shag'.
Nope, all is well.
I haven't had any carpet laid recently, I'll check FB when I do.
I'm not surprised that there is a Facebook page for faggots and peas.

At my son's university there was a houmous society. I would have joined, if I was a student there.
Didn't we have this 2 months ago when the BBC censored Fairytale of New York for the same thing.
The Americans would have fun with a local delicacy here (yes,I know it has a forces connection too) - Babies' Heads.

Yum.
The Yanks would be amazed if they heard that sometimes a Brit will ask another if he can bum a fag.
Judge- it's a word that could cause offense if inappropriately used. If FB had doubled down on the ban, I could understand the fuss, but they realised their mistake and reversed the decision. No foul from what I can see.

I wonder if there is a FB group of flood barrier fanatics? I bet those folk really love their dykes.
no need, Mozz, the word's much less of an insult and often self-applied
