I tried sharing Veterans Today’s link about PressTV’s website being seized by the US government. Facebook wouldn’t let me post it. I wasn’t even putting the link in a post, I was typing a comment in reply to someone, and FB blocked me from posting the comment by saying that it violated their community guidelines. Veterans Today violated their community guidelines?? The people who fought and died for the US empire, and suffer from PTSD and many injuries both visible and non-visible, are somehow a violation of Facebook’s community guidelines?

See for yourself:

I tried multiple times to post the link. Didn’t work. Then I tried to post a comment about how I couldn’t post the link. That didn’t work either:

I tried to share the link in a message to the person I was originally talking. This happened:

Censorship is never a good thing. Repeat: Censorship is never a good thing. Repeat: Censorship is never ever a good thing.

Facebook is in bed with the US government and that makes them the problem.

Meanwhile, the US government seized not only PressTV but numerous other media outlets in Iran and took them down.
