Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine trailer goes against Facebook’s “community standards.” Ryan Reynolds… you’re good.

If you want an example of the silliness of automated algorithms deployed by technology and clutched to by platforms like Facebook and Twitter… we mean X, then look no further than today’s debut of the trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine.

Complaints were raised that Facebook wouldn’t allow the sharing of the trailer from Marvel’s YouTube account. But, the same exact trailer shared from Ryan Reynolds’ YouTube account is perfectly fine. And, the same trailer is available on Marvel’s Facebook page. No difference at all as far as content.

Facebook says Marvel’s link goes against its standards, but… the exact same video can be shared from other accounts and is readily available directly on Facebook.

Add this to the million of reasons social media technology platforms are utter pieces of shit.
