A man who heaped praise on a local butcher’s bleep on social media got a shock when he was accused of 'hate speech'.
Morriston resident Paul Lynch innocently wrote his post on Facebook in which he paid tribute to the meatballs produced by butchers - Thomas’ of Morriston .
But the post fell foul of Facebook moderators, who removed the post, and after reviewing it, upheld the original decision, informing Mr Lynch that the post ‘goes against our community standards on hate speech’.
The original post read: “If you’re not buying Thomas’s Of Morriston the butchers on Morriston Cross’ bleep on a Tuesday are you even a monkey?â€.
The post is likely to have come to the attention of administrators for the use of the word ‘faggot’, which in America particularly can be used as a term of abuse.
