I own several pages where I upload articles every single day. Completely normal stuff, nothing strange or even remotely blackhat.

In a recent development (since a week or so) Facebook keeps sending me warnings/notifications stating the following:

"Our technology showed that this post is similar to others that violate our Community Guidelines on Violent and Graphic Content."
None of these reports presented to me have anything to do with violence, and when I protest, I receive a notification a few hours later that I have been vindicated and visibility has been restored. I respond to every notification because I'm afraid I risk losing my pages. It is very time consuming and takes me about half an hour a day and reduces the visibility of my posts.

We are all used to it I suppose, Facebook does inexplicable things. But does anyone have an idea how I can solve and prevent this?

i think you should change some content in the article and ask where did you encounter that problem and change them

The articles are marked as violent while they concern completely different topics such as a funny video of a dog (random example). That's why this whole thing makes it so bizarre so much and makes me wonder how it's possible.

I wonder if there is a follower on my pages who reports all posts but that may be unlikely. In any case, something is going wrong in the algorithm. Other reasons are that I post 'too many' articles in one day or repost old articles too often, but that also seems far-fetched to me.
 
I am interested in your post

Have you tried posting content from a 3rd party "unrelated" account to each page?
 
Try checking and editing your content: Check for anything in your post that could be misconstrued as violent or offensive. Sometimes editing and adjusting content can help reduce the risk of warnings.
 
You can check your content before posting, I read there is software that checks articles before posting. Please create additional admins for your page to avoid bad situations from happening
 
Have you read all of Facebook community reles and standards? There will tell you what to post and what not to post on Facebook
 
Thank you for the input everyone. I will add more admins to play it safe.

Also I think there might be something about the context within the articles, I will try to censor each and every word that refers to violence. Maybe it'll help.
 
Have you been posting similar content on all the accounts?
 
If it keeps being a problem and you know for a fact the warnings don't apply to your activities or posts, you'll seriously want to consider filing an appeal with Meta's support team about it. It'll take some time and a lot of back and forth, but it should sort that out for you, for most parts.

Thankfully it doesn't affect my activities, I wouldn't sleep if it did. Facebook can be really strict with stuff like this as you might know.

I think it's a good idea by the way, I'll contact support because it's becoming too much of a hassle at this point. I'm starting to think it might be some sort of bug
