I thought MAGA supported freedom of speech? Didn’t they have a meeting with Zuckerberg about censorship many years ago? What a joke the US has become.
There is also Vancouver Island, which is separate from the other two.
All are named after Captain George Vancouver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Vancouver
That was either accidental auto moderation or a testy and likely MAGA aligned person of influence (inside or outside of Meta).
Either way, not a good look for Freedom of Speech.
The fault lies not with the geological bedrock underpinning Vancouver B.C. nor with it's geographic location although it is indeed a visually stunning part of the world.
It's also less an issue with the leadership of the two countries involved, more an issue with the fish rotting from head of one country's leadership.
And, assuming that the article is accurate, obviously they shouldn't have banned an account for posting "Can't handle a pool, but wants our lake?". I think everyone would agree outside the Facebook team. That would be a classic Facebook over-moderation. Extreme to the point where I'm going to assume there is more to the story.

>Since when has Facebook been associated with MAGA?
____
P.S.: I wanted to add something that wasn't ironic, but I'm having a surprisingly hard time unpacking my own sarcastic-intuition into arguments. Perhaps:
1. The MAGA bloc angry at companies moderating Dear Leader have already struck back, and they will not be satisfied by less than a reversal into cheerleading.
2. It can be hard to judge what most employees think when the corporation itself is under some duress.
3. Sometimes the circumstances of a "reversal" demonstrate that the original concern was extremely valid.
