Anyone have a link to the actual image? The one in this article is a stock photo (caption even reads: “These onions were not flagged as risqué”) For news story

Anyone have a link to the actual image? The one in this article is a stock photo (caption even reads: “These onions were not flagged as risqué”) For news story about a photograph, I can't imagine why the subject isn't included? EDIT: The Daily Mail has the journalistic integrity to include it :) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8823925/Facebook-blocked-advertisement-onions-Canadian-seed-company-overtly-sexual.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8823925/Facebook-bl...

It's in the original article too, just not as the top image. Scroll down a bit. :) Edit: Oh, but it's a Facebook social media embed! You may have something blocking it.

  I thought that, but I disabled my uBlock Origin and still didn't see anything. Now I'm wondering if I have a hosts file block. Or maybe I enabled the ‘Facebook: Bad’ setting in Firefox? Anyway, thanks for clarifying. I think news reports should never rely on outside servers for their own content. It should be hosted by BBC, just the same as their text.

    It's an embedded facebook post, if you have any facebook domains on your block list you won't see it.

    BBC might be worried about copyright issues of they duplicate and self-host Facebook content without a license. I am not sure if this is the case, but I would expect media publishers to be especially guarded when it comes to copyright.

    On my case using firefox, with enhanced tracking protection turned on, the fb embed that contains the image won't load.

      Thanks. I have the same settings, so that must be it.

  And I've never done a double entendre with just formatting! Is it italicized because it's the title of a periodical? Or because I'm incredulous? Yes.
