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.

    You just self-identified as anti-Nazi. Where precisely should we draw that particular line? What percentage of a culture would you say needed to have served prison time in their adult life to be justified in saying something is fucked up? Should we give them understanding that they treat women like pieces of meat and abandon their children? Fuck that. Black culture is a cancer and anyone who follows it are scum.

    Nazi isn't a color. Black is something people are taught to identify as from a young age. Its immutability is implicit. Anti-black and anti-Nazi are not comparable in the slightest. Black culture has contributed a lot to white culture, and vice versa. I suspect your children grew up being influenced by black music, and if they didn't your grandchildren certainly will. Have fun with that.

    And even being anti-Nazi, I have no desire to bomb or SWAT podunk klan members.
