Interesting tidbit: If you try to refer to this article with a link on Facebook, they will block you from posting it.
You can't post this because it has a blocked link The content you're trying to share includes a link that our security systems detected to be unsafe:

Please remove this link to continue. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know.
Well, other entries don't bad-mouth Facebook.

That page says it's fixed, but it seems that FB is providing the wrong preview, linking to http://www.thecalmx/ instead of http://www.thecalmzone.net/
This spam filter carries a small risk of death, so it's pretty frustrating.
But someone downthread said the .co.uk version was not blocked (before you unblocked the .com). Are you implying the .co.uk version did not have the same "design elements"?
As to your proposed argument, I think selectively blocking well-reasoned analysis by law professors and letting memes go unblocked makes the most sense for your company.
Classifiers do weird things, and features you don't expect to be significant can suddenly have a much larger than intended effect. The domain name, as a feature, must've thrown it over the edge.
It's like that Google+ post where a picture of a couple of black people got tagged as "gorillas" by their auto-tagging ML system. No, Google isn't racist, their classifier just hates their PR department.
Ah, the joys of machine learning...
I for one do not welcome our new content curating overlords.
And then I managed to post the plain URL.... maybe they've unblocked it, or it's not blocked from within the EU.
It will give the contents of the blog, but not sure how modern browsers will render it as is. However if you save to a file with an .html extension then open in browser it should look fine.
Using .co.uk extension on the blogspot URL instead of .com may also work, as another commenter has suggested.
It would be interesting to see what other links that discuss FB can not be shared there and even more interesting at what level of FB the directive initiating this blockage originated.
