What was said
"We're trying to document it all right now but it it's looking like they censored my book on facebook oh really yeah laughter like they u my publisher usually can um like mark up like with a buy button all the other books they sell yeah and and mine violated the commerce policy."
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen says she and others are “trying to document” what happened, but that it is “looking like” Facebook censored promotion of her book by preventing her publisher from adding a purchase ‘buy button’, citing an alleged commerce-policy violation. She frames it as suggestive of possible throttling, while acknowledging uncertainty beyond the missing button.
