> What must have seemed like a benign social media strategy managed to fall foul of Facebook’s algorithmic censors, which labeled sections of the declaration hate speech and removed the posts.

Do we know that this was the action of an "algorithmic censor"? I mean, one of the automated censors? My impression was that Facebook still has many human censors [0] in its employ, many of them outsourced in non-U.S. countries. It's possible that a human user flagged this Declaration of Independence post, and a human censor approved the flagging/censoring of it.

Yes, I know that "algorithm", broadly defined, could include a process in which a human user flags something for a human censor, but that's not how "algorithmic censors" is typically used in this context.
