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.

...Facebook censorship can effectively make unpersons, and people who aren't on Facebook might as well not exist at all.
How I wish this were true... Unfortunately, FB still tracks those unpersons. Juuuussstt in case they ever give up their protest and sign up for facebook. That way, FB already knows everything about you, can 'suggest' friends and more importantly, immediately start showing you 'relevant' ads.
How I wish that not being on FB would mean you don't exist (for FB or for the morons on it)
