# Why Can I See a Facebook Comment That Other People Cannot?

I’ve noticed a few times that a comment appears under a Facebook post when I’m signed in, but a friend says it isn’t visible to them. It doesn’t seem to happen to every comment, and I can’t tell whether the difference is caused by audience settings, moderation, or a display issue.

Is there a reliable way to tell if a comment has been hidden from other viewers, or are there several different reasons it might appear differently across accounts?
