I can't believe myself, but it seems I have discovered a gross piece of censorship in Facebook!
I was trying to post a piece in my notes about seppukoo.com, a new "anti-social network," but to my frustration I couldn't just do it! That is, technically, post FAILED!
I learned about Seppukoo.com in a report by AFP, thus not some scam website or like that.
I did everything sane. First I waited about half and hour, then posted again - FAILED. Then I started to post sentence after sentence and discovered that the post fails when the text contains seppukoo.com. In order to be sure that I haven't stumbled upon any anti-spam measure, I posted several other links, but they PASSED.
That is, Facebook HAS BLOCKED the url of Seppukoo!!!
In order to be doubly sure, I tried to post the link of Seppukoo to my wall, but it FAILED!
Here are my snapshots:
Here is the snapshot that shows you can post the word "seppukoo"
but you can't post "Seppukoo.com"
And blocked content!

I could not post even "seppukoo dot com" in a Facebook chat!

I see you have had a Facebook relapse. How's farmville?
Yes, Paul, I logged back into Facebook when I realized that there is no other way left to learn updates about democratic youth here.
I have amassed some fortune, but then lost interest in farming. Though sometimes I do visit it.
