How Facebook Censors Threads

[Eighthman]

I am almost embarrassed to admit trying to start threads on a mental wasteland like Facebook but boredom can be powerful.

If you post a link from a Russian or fringe site, it will disappear almost instantly on refresh.  If you search for it, it may be transferred w-a-y down the thread scroll, so that it won't be read. If you post from a politically approved source ( Wash. Post, NY Times), it is much more likely to hang around.

Consideraring the uber-liberal yoyo that is the owner of farcebook, did you really expect anything different?  Really?
