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.

I doubt any government could break Twitter or Facebook at this point, they could rally more political power than any politician.
The people who made the Internet are going to have to solve this problem, create a decentralized replacement and make a client that is backward compatible. Pray it achieves critical mass sufficient to send Facebook to the same Hell Myspace is roasting in.
