I shared the YT link directly, and it went to the wall.



Well, at least this confirms that facebook does have the ability to filter out blacklisted URLS to the public friend feed.


...and a willingness to censor within their walled garden. Maybe they had already shown that, but now I know.


Lets have some proof rather than sheepish upvotes hrm?


It could just be that the public friend feed only shows a small subset of all of your updates. Might have nothing to do with a blacklist.


I had a URL about Prop 8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_8_(2008)... out from facebook chat with a message that it was possibly 'offensive' about a year ago or so .. nothing new


Some time ago I was unable to send a link via private messages to a friend, because the link was flagged as abusive/offensive. I didn't see anything wrong with the link, neither did my friend (once I got the link to him via email).
