What is Facebook Prepping For...

Like many of you I've been contemplating my choices post election. I've quickly come to the conclusion that I can't accept just staying hidden in plain sight in a red state. I just don't have it in me to sit back while the US crumbles to shit.

Nevertheless, I've been scrubbing my own social media a bit and trying to make calculated decisions about my online presence. Now FB, out of the blue, decided to remove my 7 year old post citing *I* was promoting violence. Naturally I'm curious why the sudden purge in content and I was pretty sure I would not have actually promoted violence, so I had to dig up the post:

Context - I updated my FB profile picture to the Women's March on Washington banner on March 8, 2017 with the following caption

"Growing up I never felt less valuable because of my gender. When my brother got a BB gun, I got a BB gun. When he played in the dirt, I played in the dirt. When he got a bowl cut, I got a bowl cut. (Let's be real that was because I wanted to be just like my cousin xxxx because she is both beautiful and bad ass.) The only time I have ever felt belittled for gender is with the current political climate. Where the chief strategist helps promote ideas that women are unable to cope in STEM disciplines. Where the alt right has been given a voice under the facade of patriotism. Where the president objectifies women. We aren't going to take it. And if you grab us by the pussy, we're going to kick you in the balls."

So title. Why is the sudden purge from facebook? Are they that scared we will defend ourselves?
