Joey, have you ever been in a Facebook prison?

Yesterday I Facebook Messengered a friend I’m interviewing for an article. She’s usually readily available on FB and I could see that she read my note immediately.[1] She didn’t reply. Same thing happened when I’d messaged her a few days earlier. Hmmm.

Moments later I received an IM from someone I didn’t know. “I am a friend of (redacted). She just contacted me to ask you to reach out to her via her email because she has been suspended on Facebook.”

My friend is a nearly 70-years-old, highly educated, professional Caucasian woman (not that any of that should matter). What could she have said, done, or posted, I wondered?

“I’ll tell you why I got put in jail. There was a photo after a Trump rally with all the trash that was left (behind) and I commented, ‘#WhiteTrash’.”
