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.

How kind of you to be willing to live someone's life for them.

Well, geez, you're a freaking omnipotent genius.
Wrong. It doesn't take a genius to realize the obvious. How many times have companies sold user information and just generally abused their users? It was not hard to predict Facebook would do these things with the information people gave it. Is your standard of "genius" really so low?
Facebook is a fact of life.
It's a fact of life only in the sense that it exists and a lot of people use it. But many bad things exist, so this is merely another addition to that list.
You can't? Then, maybe you lack imagination.
It's not that I "can't", but that I refuse on principle to use Facebook and its ilk in any way.
