This has been happening for years. Just try sending a message containing the string `joebiden.info` and see what happens. We’re way past the rubicon. Get your information as best you can and just hope you’re somewhat aligned with the mainstream.

  I suspect they have flagged users that get filtered differently. I've been in comment threads where people say very similar things as myself with all the same keywords and I'll get a message days later about a submission being hidden due to some violations.

  Depends on how you do it. If it’s E2E then according to this comment from March 2020 it goes through: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23110664 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23110664

  I tried it during the election and it didn't work. Have uninstalled it since then so don't know if things have changed.

  Well that was just an example. Of course they would not actually censor `joebiden.info`. Not on your life! They would censor other stuff, pertaining to other political leanings, and other scientific-medical subjects... You know, the badthink.

    What? 90% of the garbage circulated on facebook is republican qanon conspiracy theories at worst, and tabloid reactionary garbage at best.

      What flavor of think do you suppose they filter for?
      - bdibs 5y ago
        Probably the flavor that leads to burning black churches and attempting to overthrow US democracy?

        Neither of your links really present any kind of counter point. Not sure what the argument you’re trying to make is.

  Seems a bit random. That worked for me and also a 1337x.to link worked but I've had the latter blocked in the past - it's a torrent tracker.

  100% did not work during the election. I was able to convince my siblings to leave Messenger (where we had our “sibling” chat) because if it. Censoring public FB posts is one thing, but I don’t need zuck telling me what I can say in a private conversation. That’s too far.

    If it was so common why not provide documented evidence? It would seem like a pretty important thing to document, assuming it actually happened.

      After big tech stepped in to ban news articles on Biden selling political influence to foreign nationals most people stopped even considering these kind of things conspiracy.

        He's President and won with 81M votes. Your crying won't change that, just so you know.

        I don't really see how what you're saying is relevant. It's possible for someone to be validly elected and also for negative stuff about that person to be blocked on some websites.

    You were one of the people who had a comment edited in that 1 hour period mentioned in that news article? Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident? If so, that would be big news. He promised not to do it again, so if he did, he's breaking a promise, and I think that would be pretty newsworthy. > "As the CEO, I shouldn’t play such games, and it’s all fixed now.

      > You were one of the people who had a comment edited in that 1 hour period mentioned in that news article? No. Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident? Yes. I have commented that they should try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(PaaS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_(PaaS) but I guess they didn't click the link and then they have altered the meaning of my comment. At that point of time I was aware that Huffman have edited some comments in Reddit in the past, from the news. Thus I was not surprised.
      - Thorrez 5y ago
        Have you tried contacting anyone about this? Maybe post about it in a subreddit, or talk to a journalist that previously covered the other editing? Or contact reddit pr or an admin? This seems like a pretty big deal, especially given his previous promise to stop editing comments.

They stopped blocking it shortly after the new year. I've been checking that link every couple months or so.
