Hi,
Some weeks ago (I have been busy) I received this message:
Hello,
Your Extension Facebook Filter was manually reviewed by the Mozilla Add-ons team in an assessment performed on our own initiative of content that was submitted to Mozilla Add-ons.
Our review found that your content violates the following Mozilla policy or policies:
This add-on has been blocked due to a violation of Mozilla’s Policies by the add-on or its developer..
Affected versions: 1.0
Based on that finding, those versions of your Extension have been disabled on Client Challenge and any public version affected will no longer be available for download from Mozilla Add-ons, anywhere in the world. In addition, in some cases, users who have previously installed those versions won’t be able to continue using them.
TBH I’m surprised. I’m the only person using the extension that is not public and the only thing it does is collapse Facebook posts I’m not subscribed to.
I can’t open the appeal page because my account is blocked.
Also I would l really like to know what rule I violated?
Hi Timo, and thanks for reaching out. I am sorry for the trouble here.
I have filed an appeal on your behalf so our team can review the decision internally. We regularly run investigations against malicious actors, and unfortunately false positives do come up in that process, so it is worth a second look.
On which specific policy was cited, I am not able to share the details of the enforcement decision from here. The appeal review is the right path for that.
I can’t give you a date for the outcome, but it is with the team now. Thank you!
Thank you.
I thought “maybe i should add more comments to show what this does to avoid this form being blocked and also made the title more descriptive”.
Well that was a mistake I guess.
This one got blocked too.
Is it really a violation what I’m doing or a false positive?
