It was a bad first experience. Very, very bad! Here’s the letter I sent Angel's Pizza after I cancelled my order then enjoyed a warm, fresh, succulent feast from Shakey’s:

"Facebook’s algorithmic and human reviewers seem unable to accurately parse the context and intent of their usage. Whether intentional or not, these moderation fails constitute a form of censorship. And just like Facebook’s dangerous and discriminatory real names policy, these examples demonstrate how the company’s own practices often amplify harassment and cause real harm to marginalized groups like LGBTQ people, communities of color, and domestic violence survivors."

Update: A Facebook spokesperson apologized for the mistake and said, "We know how painful it is when someone feels unwelcome or attacked on our platform, and how much worse it must be when they are prevented from sharing that experience with others. We need to do better and are committed to improving our process on these important issues." The site is also working on ways to distinguish between hate speech and its condemnation.
