The messages ask that you &#8216;share the hell out of \u00a0it&#8217; \u00a0as a means of thwarting Facebook&#8217;s supposed goal of removing the Poppy Man picture.<\/p>\n<p>The sculpture, which is located in Hereford UK, is described \u00a0thusly in a <a title=\"The Poppy Man, Hereford\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ipernity.com\/doc\/498743\/39344776\">post on \u00a0Ipernity.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Mr Poppy Man was designed by Hereford in Bloom stalwart, Angela Pendleton, and created by George Thomas, a metal worker of Upper Hill with a grant from Hereford City Council.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The unusual sculpture is sat on one of the city council&#8217;s First World War benches, facing the newly-painted mural of the Herefordshire Regiment&#8217;s gallant attack at Sulva Bay in August 1915, at the start of the Gallipoli Campaign.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The implication in the circulating messages is that Facebook is removing the image because of a political agenda. \u00a0Some have suggested that Facebook is removing the \u00a0image because it \u00a0might offend some people.<\/p>\n<p>But, here&#8217;s the thing. Facebook is NOT removing the image. In fact, dozens if not hundreds of photographs of Mr Poppy Man have been featured in posts by many different people over many months, And, the pictures are still there.  \u00a0Facebook has NOT banned them, removed them, or taken them down. They are still well and truly there in a variety of different contexts.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this is just one \u00a0in \u00a0 a long, sorry line of fake &#8216;Facebook is removing a picture&#8217; protest messages. One Australian-based message <a title=\"Is Facebook Removing Australian Defence Badge Pictures?\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/is-facebook-removing-australian-defence-badge-pictures\/\">falsely \u00a0claims that<\/a> Facebook is removing Australian Defence Badge pictures. Another claims that images depicting the Australian flag are being removed. Similar \u00a0versions \u00a0have made false &#8216;ban&#8217;  \u00a0claims about the flags of various other countries. Another \u00a0hoax post claims that Facebook is \u00a0<a title=\"No, Facebook Is NOT Removing Veteran Amputee Images\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-removing-veteran-amputee-images-hoax.shtml\">removing images depicting veteran amputees<\/a> because the images are considered offensive.  \u00a0And, of course, every year \u00a0around \u00a0Christmas time, the \u00a0old &#8216;Facebook is banning a \u00a0nativity scene&#8217; <a title=\"Is Facebook Trying to Get Users to Remove a Nativity Scene Picture?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/remove-facebook-nativity-picture.shtml\">message resurfaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, why, you might ask, would people claim that such pictures are being removed? Sadly, the main reason people create these fake protest posts is simply to promote their Facebook Page or Profiles to a larger audience. Because such \u00a0posts generate a good deal of \u00a0angst and consternation, they tend to go viral on the network as more and more users like, share, and comment on them. Thus, users \u00a0who \u00a0launch one of these bogus &#8216;image ban&#8217; messages can receive a massive amount of free publicity for their \u00a0profiles or Facebook Pages.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps in a few cases, the protest posts are derived from a simple misunderstanding. If \u00a0a particular picture is included with a post that contains material that actually \u00a0does violate Facebook&#8217;s community standards, then the company may remove the content. \u00a0 \u00a0Some users may erroneously conclude that the content was removed because of the image rather than the nature of the text that accompanied it and thus create their own protest message decrying the perceived image ban. And, perhaps if a posted image has violated another user&#8217;s copyright, a picture might be removed.<\/p>\n<p>It is thus important to \u00a0verify any &#8216;Facebook is banning this \u00a0image&#8217; claims before \u00a0you \u00a0share, like, or comment on them. If the &#8211; supposedly removed \u00a0&#8211; image has already \u00a0been shared a great many times \u00a0over a lengthy period, then \u00a0you can assume \u00a0that the alleged ban is imaginary. If Facebook had chosen to stop the image from appearing on \u00a0its network, then you most likely would not be seeing it on your timeline in the \u00a0first place.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-photos-of-the-poppy-man-sculpture-are-not-being-removed-from-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/no-photos-of-the-poppy-man-sculpture-are-not-being-removed-from-facebook\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Circulating Facebook messages featuring a photograph of Hereford UK&#8217;s Poppy Man sculpture claim that the Facebook is removing the image and we should therefore &#8216;share the hell out of it&#8217; to thwart Facebook&#8217;s supposed political agenda.
