Major censorship on Facebook

Complete and INSTANT censorship on Facebook

I have never come across this before .

I tried sharing the following article on Facebook and it came back WITHIN SECONDS that “this post goes against our community standards, so no one else can see it.




I tried a round about method to post it, using vague reference wihout saying what it is about and directing people to my website and got the same reaction.

I keep getting locked out of Facebook or having to sign in without always being able to.

Here, for example, are Facebook's "community standards"
Community Standards

INTRODUCTION
Every day, people come to Facebook to share their stories, see the world through the eyes of others and connect with friends and causes. The conversations that happen on Facebook reflect the diversity of a community of more than two billion people communicating across countries and cultures and in dozens of languages, posting everything from text to photos and videos.
We recognise how important it is for Facebook to be a place where people feel empowered to communicate, and we take our role in keeping abuse off our service seriously. That's why we have developed a set of Community Standards that outline what is and is not allowed on Facebook. Our Standards apply around the world to all types of content. They're designed to be comprehensive – for example, content that might not be considered hate speech may still be removed for breaching our Bullying Policies.
The goal of our Community Standards is to encourage expression and create a safe environment. We base our policies on input from our community and from experts in fields such as technology and public safety. Our policies are also rooted in the following principles:

Safety: People need to feel safe in order to build community. We are committed to removing content that encourages real-world harm, including (but not limited to) physical, financial and emotional injury.

Voice: Our mission is all about embracing diverse views. We err on the side of allowing content, even when some find it objectionable, unless removing that content can prevent a specific harm. Moreover, at times we will allow content that might otherwise breach our standards if we feel that it is newsworthy, significant or important to the public interest. We do this only after weighing the public interest value of the content against the risk of real-world harm.

Equity: Our community is global and diverse. Our policies may seem broad, but that is because we apply them consistently and fairly to a community that transcends regions, cultures and languages. As a result, our Community Standards can sometimes appear less nuanced than we would like, leading to an outcome that is at odds with their underlying purpose. For that reason, in some cases, and when we are provided with additional context, we make a decision based on the spirit, rather than the letter, of the policy.
Everyone on Facebook plays a part in keeping the platform safe and respectful. We ask people to share responsibly and to let us know when they see something that may breach our Community Standards. We make it easy for people to report potentially breaching content, including Pages, Groups, profiles, individual content and/or comments to us for review. We also give people the option to blockunfollow or hide people and posts, so that they can control their own experience on Facebook.
The consequences for breaching our Community Standards vary depending on the severity of the breach and a person's history on the platform. For instance, we may warn someone for a first breach, but if they continue to breach our policies, we may restrict their ability to post on Facebook or disable their profile. We may also notify law enforcement when we believe that there is a genuine risk of physical harm or a direct threat to public safety.
Our Community Standards, which we will continue to develop over time, serve as a guide for how to communicate on Facebook. It is in this spirit that we ask members of the Facebook community to follow these guidelines.
I wonder whose sensitivities it offends to post something that warns the public to something as important as this.
Clearly, the story is very REAL, and the authorities want desperately to have it buried

  1. Isn't Facebook just a place you share pictures and talk about the weather? Because that's all it should be. The company has proven this by essentially signalling that they are not capable of having an enjoyable online experience without sanitizing its content. Its really simple; Facebook is for entertainment only.

  2. Facebook can do whatever the fuck they want. They only answer, by law, to their shareholders. You have no rights or privileges with them, nor are you entitled to any. Take a day off, grab a legal dictionary & attempt to read their user agreement you agreed to abide by.
