Here’s a little article about Facebook censoring a questionable social network that has posted links to itself on Facebook. https://boingboing.net/2015/11/06/facebook-is-censoring-links-to.html

That’s fine…but posting that article on Facebook is also censored because it mentions (but does not link to) that site. That’s a problem and another example as to why we need to control our content and why I’ve started posting much of my media here first. I highly recommend you look at something like Known (www.withknown.org) Whether you use their hosted service or host it yourself (the best option). It’s something we should all be moving towards.

From the article linked below: “Lawrence Lessig, one of the country’s foremost tech legal scholars, announced Saturday that he would be making a key modification to his quixotic campaign for president.”

I would love to Lessig’s campaign abruptly gain momentum and turn into something. After reading his book ‘Republic Lost‘ I was pretty convinced his plan was the only one that would come close to solving anything. I like Bernie, I really do but I’m not sure how he wrestles the obstinant (but mostly just bought and paid for) members of Congress to affect any real change.
