Facebook apologizes after Plymouth Hoe falls victim to Scunthorpe problem
Facebook has issued an apology after posts relating to Plymouth Hoe were erroneously flagged up for containing offensive language.
Plymouth Hoe is an area of the South Western English city of Plymouth, and it caused the same problems as places such as Cockermouth, Scunthorpe and Devil's Dyke for obscenity filters. The social network not only removed posts for using the word 'Hoe', but also closed down groups relating to the area.
