Spin-Off: Disney's instagram account flagged for false information regarding Tim Allen

Apparently Facebook's fact checkers couldn't believe Disney's announcement concerning the new Santa Clause series either.

The post, which is blurred out, is noted with, “False Information: The same information was reviewed by independent fact-checked in another post.” When you click “See Why” this is the message the viewer receives:
The Fact-Checker pulled the post as “False” with this conclusion due to the “Conservative Rant Misattributed to Actor Tim Allen”.
Apparently, a conservative rant circulating on social media has been falsely credited to the actor Tim Allen. According to FactCheck.org, “A post shared by thousands of Facebook users begins, “Tim Allen is credited with writing this,” and includes a photograph of the actor and comedian. The post includes several conservative viewpoints, such as, “We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally,” and “I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America.”
The report goes on to note that “It also makes false claims about Chelsea Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “the Obamacare website” that have already been debunked. However, there is no evidence that the right-wing rant was written by Allen, and his publicist told us he didn’t author it. “The statement you are referring to was not written by my client,” Allen’s publicist, Marleah Leslie, told us in an email.“

Facebook/instagram is so intent silencing specific views that a Disney promo got caught in the crossfire

I've read this story twice and I still don't understand what's happening. What does this "rant", whether it was Tim Allen or not, have to do with this announcement? Are they trying to suppress publicity because Tim Allen doesn't toe the Hollywood line?

Not necessarily publicity, that’s just what this happened to be, but they were trying to stop any exposure to Tim Allen altogether.

It looks like their algorithm is set to suppress anything that mentions Tim Allen.

Morons spread fake quotes falsely attributed to Tim Allen to the point that Facebook’s algorithms targeted his name when it appears with certain keywords or phrases. The promotional post had his name and enough of the same keywords to trigger the warning. You can search “Tim Allen” on Facebook and find thousands of posts, photos, and videos. He isn’t banned from Facebook.

Here's what was posted:

It’s clause for celebration! ? Tim Allen will reprise his role as Scott Calvin from “The Santa Clause” in a new Original limited series coming soon to #DisneyPlus.
Besides his name, what other keywords/phrases in that post set off the "misinformation" trigger? It seems clear only "Tim Allen" set off the trigger because there are no other unique words/phrases in that post. Did "Scott Calvin" set it off? Santa Claus? "Clause for celebration"?
What else besides "Tim Allen" would be flagged for an algorithm to pickup and filter?

So what if Allen wrote it? Cancel him. He doesn't give a shart.
Screw Disney.
Screw Disney.
