- fotnmc 8y agoAh I bet that is a smart move that will pay off for them in the long run.
- buboard 8y agoFacebook users have had outrages since day one. Usually they had even more signups the following month.

- gopher2 8y agoSo a couple articles about Facebook security breach were caught in a Facebook automated spam detection system.
- qrbLPHiKpiux 8y agoFacebook doing things Facebook does. No surprise here.
- HenryBemis 8y agoAnd this is a far more appropriate title "Articles about Facebook security breach were caught in a Facebook automated spam detection system." The title TC is using is pure clickbait (and they are now blacklisted in my browser).
- debt 8y agoSo is TechCrunch going to write an article each time Facebook’s spam algorithms block some random URL?
- raffael-vogler 8y agoAlso hckrnews.com doesn't list the discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18094823 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18094823). Why? With 1.5k upvotes I guess it deserves a place in the top 50% - no? UPDATE: https://imgur.com/a/Jpj4Itn https://imgur.com/a/Jpj4Itn

- jorams 8y agoYour screenshot only displays today, while the discussion is from yesterday. If you scroll down to yesterday, it's in the top 10, the top 20 and the top 50%.
- raffael-vogler 8y agooops ... how embarrassing
- tomrod 8y agoThat seems destined for some major Streisand effect.
- mkagenius 8y agoMore like a minor issue getting extrapolated due to some other news. Is there any name for it? It adds to the effect even though not really responsible.
