| brolin_empey | Like the now defunct .NET Messenger Service that refused to send a message linking to imageshack, Facebook Messenger refuses to send a message if an automated filter dislikes the message, such as because the message references a taboo Web site such as theproxybay.net or what seems like a false positive today: | 07:06 |

| brolin_empey | I do not see how discussing in the Danish language building a Delphi program can be considered taboo by the filter so I assume this is a false positive. | 07:06 |
| brolin_empey | Basically I am using an instant messaging medium that is censored by robots. Yes, I know I can circumvent the filter by sending an image of text instead of actual text but it still surprises me. | 07:11 |
| brolin_empey | In this case I resent the message via email instead of Facebook Messenger but I do not always have the email address of someone I contact via Facebook Messenger. | 07:15 |
| Vajb | About facebook. Problems might have been universla since it appears to be fixed. Or I've been lucky for past days. | 08:33 |
| Vajb | universal* | 08:33 |
| brolin_empey | At least in my area, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and reportedly some other Facebook services such as Instagram were partially broken for a day a week or two ago but I do not know how geographically localised that failure was. | 08:37 |
| Vajb | brolin_empey: my problem was facebook resending messages allthough I had already received those. | 08:39 |
| brolin_empey | Vajb: Yes, I redd your earlier messages about this issue. | 08:40 |
| Vajb | I think this is fift day without incidens | 08:43 |
| brolin_empey | Apparently the failure was on Wed, 2019‑03‑13. I do not know if this failure was reported by any media. | 08:43 |
| Vajb | pidgin -d log is quite swollen now | 08:43 |
| Vajb | over 5mb. | 08:44 |
| Vajb | I don't think I've heard of this problem, but then again I don't follow news that much. | 08:44 |
| brolin_empey | The YouTube video server was down for a few hours a few months ago. The Web site/front end was still up but it could not play any video. That made the news here. Initially I thought it was a problem with my Internet connection because I was using YouTube when the failure began. | 08:49 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | brolin_empey: ((filter)) §11 §13 - say "thank you EU, for preemptive obedience" | 11:12 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | actually say "thank you EU, and thank you farcebook for preemptive obedience" | 11:13 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I think this is a nice opportunity to *learn* something, about why using farcebook etc is a bad thing per se | 11:14 |
| brolin_empey | DocScrutinizer05: As I have already said, I mostly use only Facebook Messenger, not Facebook, and I use Facebook Messenger because I want to communicate with other persons who use it. I usually use Google Hangouts for persons who are avoiding Facebook but apparently now Facebook Messenger may be used without a Facebook account. | 23:43 |
