Facebook admitted Sunday that it had blocked links to the Wikileaks trove of emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee.

In a Twitter post late Saturday, WikiLeaks accused the social media giant of "censorship" and gave its followers an online workaround, saying "try using https://archive.is."

The WikiLeaks allegation followed a firestorm of controversy that erupted earlier this year when former Facebook workers admitted routinely suppressing conservative news.

    Yes, they say it was their automated anti-spam system.

    So it's the same old story. Dem stooges don't want anything bursting their newsbubbles aka safe spaces. So they report an inconvenient truth as spam.

      And when it comes to Democrats and the Media, Jews are behind it.

      You can call me a paranoid anti-Semite all you want...but the more leaks are revealed, the more the Goys will slowly wake up to the truth.

        Out of curiosity, are you serious about the Jews thing, or just trolling? I see a lot of "it's dem Jooooooooooz~!" out there from the conspiracy-minded and don't understand it.

          You do the "dem moooooooslims" thing non-ironically.
          But you think the "dem jooooooz" thing is meant to be a joke?

          Bigotry is the same everywhere, its all bullshit but every bigot has a rationalization for why their bigotry is actually legit.

            Actually, no, I go "dat islaaaaaaaaaam~" if we're going to keep to form. There is a difference, in precisely the same way there is a difference between hating smallpox and hating smallpox victims.
