It's one thing to censor, but it's another to intentionally deceive your users into believing that they sent something.
Malicious?

#22This has been happening for years. Just try sending a message containing the string `joebiden.info` and see what happens. We’re way past the rubicon. Get your information as best you can and just hope you’re somewhat aligned with the mainstream.
Just tried it and it sends without an issue
I tried it during the election and it didn't work. Have uninstalled it since then so don't know if things have changed.

Well that was just an example. Of course they would not actually censor `joebiden.info`. Not on your life! They would censor other stuff, pertaining to other political leanings, and other scientific-medical subjects... You know, the badthink.

#24They've been doing this for years with porn, graphic shock sites, and conspiracy sites. Not sure why this needs to be reiterated, but if you even remotely value your freedom and privacy, never use Facebook again for any reason.
It needs to be reiterated because many people missed examples like this in the past. Every new user needs to be made aware of what is really going on, and what Facebook thinks of them as.

#25GNews is where you can see the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop so that's why it's banned. Had the contents of some Trump family member's laptop been leaked to the media, Facebook would have it trending. This technology is used to ensure that preferred candidates have an advantage.
Everyone familiar with the political field in the US knows your comments is spot on. The down votes are sour grapes.
The truth, it hurts so good!

#27Wait I thought this was known? I remember seeing this behavior with a friend when I had FB, and I haven't had FB for 3-4 year already.

#28In Australia the government's (dubious) re-opening plan is based upon modelling by the Doherty Institute.
Facebook censors anyone from sharing that report.

The whole Ivermectin thing is dumb and stupid. But are you seriously saying silent censorship of links in Messenger is okay?

#30This is why it is best to avoid centralized platforms like FB, Apple iMessage, Twitter DMs, etc.
