Why would Family Search restrict putting an obituary in the Memories section?

I have attempted to copy and paste an obituary from the mortuary website into the memory section of one of my ancestors and FamilySearch is restricting it. Any idea why that would happen?

The initial review of any upload to the Memories section is made by a computer algorithm - not a human. lt usually gets it wrong, in my experience. Reply to the email requesting a human review, and it will probably be approved and the restriction removed.

BUT - have you reviewed the Terms of Usage of the site where you found the obituary? Make sure that you are not violating those terms.
