thinkpol

The word means 'think police'. Any other definition is plain stupid. The concept comes from 1984, a book by George Orwell written to illustrate totalitarianism so extreme that even your thoughts are controlled.

The actual word isn't in 1984 but it derives from 'Interpol', the international police organisation.

Also a band from a UK, but that doesn't matter.
A: "I had a really good time at that concentration camp."
B: "Really? So George was lying about it being deadly and dismal."
A: "That's why the thinkpol have sent him back there."

thanks for letting us know

Typical Facebook's response for any report of a post that is actually offensive, but FB doesn't take any action and gives you their standard templated response and snubbing your efforts to keep FB clean.
Joe: Yo FB, this dude just posted a porno and an offensive racist comment
FB: Thanks for letting us know about this. We looked over the comment, and though it doesn't go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it. We understand that it may still be offensive or distasteful to you.
Joe: FUCK YOU ZUCK! Don't fucking tfluk me bitch!
