Mizzou Prof Who’s Centrist on Climate Change, Loses Facebook Page on Weather
“He said the page offered weather forecasts, and also sometimes summarized Missouri climate and the seasonal climate.”
This serves as a reminder that, for all of the positive changes at Facebook, it is still run by leftists.
The College Fix reports:
Mizzou professor, a centrist on climate change, loses weather page to Facebook removal
Atmospheric scientist and University of Missouri Professor Anthony Lupo recently discovered the Midwest Missouri Weather page he maintained on Facebook for more than five years had “vanished” with no clear indication of why.
The scholar told The College Fix it was taken down after he debated a follower regarding whether the Show-Me State’s busy tornado season was due to La Niña or climate change.
“Sunday morning I found that my personal Facebook account was locked, and I had a message from Meta … to show me how to unlock my account, which I did,” Lupo said in a recent telephone interview regarding the disappearance of the page earlier this month.
After he unlocked his account on June 8, he said he “found that the weather page was gone.”
Among Lupo’s initial suppositions for why the page was taken down was that one or more of his posts may have been flagged by another user, or an algorithm, for referencing climate change as part of larger discussions regarding Missouri weather.
However, Lupo acknowledged he does not have more than circumstantial evidence of this, as Facebook did not provide him with a reason for why the page was taken down.
He said the page offered weather forecasts, and also sometimes summarized Missouri climate and the seasonal climate.
“Occasionally, when I’ve done that, I got messages about violating community standards,” Lupo said, adding that this baffled him as the page was “just summarizing numbers.”
“I would get this warning that your post may violate community standards and that would appear on the page itself for a short time,” he said.
He said it was confusing, as he was just informing people whether the temperature was above or below normal, almost saying nothing about climate change itself.
But shortly before his weather page disappeared, Lupo said he made a post regarding why this year’s tornado season seemed to be so busy, citing the La Niña year, which typically produces stormier weather in some regions.
However, Lupo said another user who previously had used the comments section to present his own views pushed back against Lupo’s claims, attributing this year’s increased tornado count to climate change as an alternative explanation.

He failed to work hard enough at indoctrination. It isn’t enough to memorize the narrative and shibboleths and recite them on demand, one must be proactive at the indoctrination to avoid falling out of favor. You don’t want to be the first to stop applauding.
Facebook has a strike system. He got too many strikes. That fact that he didn’t know how or why he was accumulating strikes, or how many he had, or what to do about them, is just part of the control system.
If they have a “strike” system, they do not disclose what constitutes a “strike” nor are they consistent or honest.
I’ve said this from the earliest days of Facefu*k. You would have to be absolutely retarded to entrust your personal or business Internet presence to that company, or any company out of silicon valley….they’re all deranged prog lunatics.
Not deranged; they’re not that sane.

Yo maff is rayciss, cracka.
Facebook routinely censors me without explanation.
I know I have become addicted to FB. I find I check it every morning, and frequently turn to it in those odd moments between activities, as if I might be missing something going on. FB gives the impression of being involved. Opinions are solicited in the comments, and replies appear in the notification section, so that fairly long, involved transactions can take place. With complete strangers with no real credentials. Recently, a woman and I went back and forth about Elon Musk. She seemed to know an awful lot about the intricacies of his companies. Reading this article on the disappearing FB page jolted me back to reality. I’ve deleted the app on my phone.
