Here's a Facebook warning for you!

I have over 500 posts on my website and have never had a problem with copyright infringement. I'm always careful to see that the images I use are not copyrighted and are acceptable to use. However, I recently received a message from Facebook that I'd include an image or images that were not acceptable because they constituted copyright infringement. They told me to go to "Just Answer" to learn how to resolve the problem, as if I did not do so, my site was in danger of being removed from Facebook.
What I normally do is to go to Yahoo for my images and choose their filter that has the label "free to share and use commercially." No problems there -- The only time I'd not done so was in a recent post when I'd gone to BingCreate and had AI images created for my post. According to "JustAnswer", there are issues with using such images, as they might be infringing copyright rules. Apparently there have been problems lately around such use.
Upsetting -- as my understanding was that such images were fine to use. Thought I'd give you all a "heads up" in case you run into similar problems. I have replied to their message, explaining how I get my images, and that the AI ones were the only ones in which I'd used a different process. So far no reply. However, just be aware that you, too, might run into a similar problem.
