A group of people has been reporting our posts as political misinformation. They have caused some of our content to be blocked and others limited, even a post about seeing the cup as half full got hit.
There is not much I can do to stop them from reporting our content, so I decided to complete Meta’s lengthy authorization process for content related to politics, elections, and social issues.
I completed the background check, verified my United States citizenship, and submitted all the required financial and accounting information. After nearly two months, our page has finally been approved.
This will not stop people from reporting our posts, but it gives us the proper authorization if Meta classifies our content as political to the categorize and repost it.
I understand that interviewing candidates and speaking publicly about local issues are inherently political. However, I also believe our community deserves access to information about the decisions and candidates we will face this November.
Looking at the cup as half full, we now have the ability to run political advertising through Facebook. I don’t know if we will, but at least the option is available if we need it.
