Wow, anyone notice that you cannot post a link on Facebook to the fbpurity.com domain (even if you shorten the URL). Facebook is blocking the posting of the URL as it is in their words 'spammy or unsafe'.



I find it interesting and scary that one of the most used information sources in the world can be arbitrarily censored so easily.

I wonder if an article about some scandalous escapades of Facebook high-ups would be similarly censored.


Of course it would. Obligatory XKCD:

I wonder if Facebook still blocks links to youropenbook.org and/or openbook.org.


you can refer to as I did to: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/fb-purity-cle...
