Over-sensitive bots deleted a message of James Belshaw, 43, in which he responded to a pal's question 'Daddy Pig'
Over-sensitive Facebook bots deleted the message, saying it could be construed as abuse.
Bus driver James, who was with River, three, at Paultons Park, Hants, said: “I couldn’t believe it.
"All I can think is the filter thought I was calling someone a pig.”
James, 43, who lives with wife Sophia, 31, in Woking, Surrey, responded to his pal after a warning flashed up asking if he wanted to continue.
He added: “Anyone who goes to a petting farm or on a country walk might write “pig” and fall foul of this.
"There has to be some protection but this is clearly over the top.”
