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.

    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.
