That's not really explaining why (or how) I'm wrong, just that you don't believe me.. which is fine, but not constructive.

It seems generally less believable that Facebook would censor people without telling them.

Other commenters [0] appear to believe the same as I do, and note that FB typically informs the user that their action/behavior is against the site's terms of use.

Shrugs, I didn't downvote you.

Since people don't know whether your speculation is wrong or right (unless there's an FB developer around), they can only judge whether your speculation is plausible or not. And I guess they mostly thought it wasn't plausible.

When I wrote "could you explain why you think I'm wrong", I was expecting that people who had reasons to believe I'm wrong would respond, and would explain those reasons, not that someone would explain to me how speculation works.

If you think I'm wrong on a technical level, could you please explain how?
