The Puzzling Case of the ‘Harmful’ Sandbag Video

COMMENTARY by Susan Katz Keating

We thought we were being informative, but maybe we missed something.

We wanted to show that soldiers do more than the high profile kinetic stuff, and that sometimes their work is mundane. Such as, when they fill sandbags. We posted this little clip, below, on F-Book.

Meta removed it for being “harmful content.”

We contacted Meta via their customer service links-to-nowhere, and asked what was harmful about a soldier filling a sandbag. Our queries went unanswered.

Here is the offending video. Watch at your own risk.
