Facebook is blocking posts to the Eyetap Mcdonalds incident story

I know for a fact this is an automatic process, so this is just posted as a curiosity. If enough people mark a post on facebook as 'spam' or 'offensive' it will kick in some automatic restrictions on its content.

Facebook has not blocked this specific story. I am willing to bet any link from the eyetap.blogspot.ca domain will be blocked, because it has been flagged a "spammy" either by an employee or an automated defense. This could also just be a mistake with the automated systems; just yesterday facebook accidentally blocked imgur.com for a short period of time (and the developer responsible found the related post on reddit, appologized, and offered recompense).

Also some URL shortners, but not the hacker news discussion link (yet). Let's a Streisand Effect begin!

Well, it is being spammed... I don't like the implicit insinuation that Facebook is acting maliciously. It appears to be an automated defence. Don't rave about, submit a bug report, if you think it isn't actually spam.
