Gee, Look, Another Innocent Algorithm Mistake

Facebook Shuts Down Page for GOP Senate Campaigns Just Before Georgia Runoffs
Epoch Times | 1/02/2021 | Zachary Steiber

Facebook shut down a fundraising page for Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) just days before voters head to the polls to decide between the Republicans and their Democratic challengers.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) runs the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising committee for the NRSC and the campaigns for Loeffler and Perdue.

According to a screenshot from the committee, Facebook alerted them that the page for the fund was disabled “for policy violation.”

The page allegedly violated a policy against unacceptable business practices.

“We don’t allow ads that promote products, services, schemes, or offers using deceptive or misleading practices, including those meant to mislead or scam people out of money or personal information,” the alert said.

A Facebook spokesperson told news outlets that what happened was a mistake.

“An automated error caused this ad account to be disabled,” the spokesperson said. “The account has since been restored.”

Burger King releases new Whopper to ward off evil in Japan
sora news 24 | 12/24/2020 | oona mcgee

Bow down to the Spicy Yakuyoke Whopper, which translates to Spicy Apotropaic Whopper.

The Japanese word “yakuyoke“, or “apotropaic” in English, means to “ward off evil” or “protect against misfortune“.

Yakuyoke is particularly important at the end of the year in Japan, where temples offer Yakuyoke services for those wanting to yoke (ward off) the yaku (bad luck) they’ve accumulated over the year so they can start the new one afresh….

Burger King’s Yakuyoke Whopper therefore acts as an edible amulet of sorts, and driving this sentiment home is a new commercial, showing Burger King staff attending a Yakuyoke service at a temple, where a monk chants by a fire filled with wooden prayer boards to imbue the burger with its protective powers.
