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.

In other news Facebook, a company who's purpose is to connect us together, decided to sacrifice these values and censor some content in an attempt to save the Demos from their quagmire.
The whole idea with keeping two sets of books on the corporate values balance sheet is not to publish the second set of books.
It's interesting that they thought it mattered. Guess the Bernie folks are actually a force to be reckoned with. Too bad the DNC didn't figure this out sooner.
Maybe they align better with with the other crazy folks that think things are not just hunky dory. Like the Repub and the Libertarian's.

In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone?... the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics.

One scumbag presidential candidate against another. Who cares, it makes no difference whether Kermit the Frog or Miss Piggy wins the nomination, you still end up with another muppet.
