VA Statewide Incidents
Case #
6571

Facebook unpublished a page publishing statewide incidents in Virginia: VA Statewide Incidents is a Facebook page that keeps its followers updated on fire, EMS and police incidents accross the state. Facebook inexplicably unpublished the page because the page allegedly "goes against our Community Standards on integrity and authentic identity," according to screenshots the page later posted. Another screenshot shows Facebook warning the page operator, "If content on a page goes against our Community Standards, it can put the page at risk for restrictions." Directly below the warning, the platform added "Good news: no violations to show." Later that same day Facebook reversed the restrictions and restored the innocuous page.
