[liberationtech] The first rule about censorship is we don't talk about censorship

[Jillian C. York]

Yes. In 2010, this happened with the word "Palestinian":

When I contacted Facebook about it, they said that it was a bug.  Look at
the screenshots, though.

It later happened with any link referring to the children's book *Go The
Fuck to Sleep.*
