This is an example of what happens when you let The Machine do the work for you.
Robert Scoble, a well-known tech startup enthusiast (the guy is known everywhere in tech circles) was posting a comment on Facebook when their system in its infinite wisdom decided to tell him that he outright couldn’t post his comment. The reason? It "seemed irrelevant or inappropriate". That’s it. No soup for you, Bobby.
Robert noted this incident on his G+ page, and yeah, Facebook basically screwed up. Again. Their content filters went overboard and made Robert a sad panda. And nobody likes sad pandas. Or Facebook for that matter.
