It has come to my attention that Facebook might have developed a set of sophisticated algorithms to analyze the contents of an image (compare, e.g. the tags you can place in each person in a photo) and put up a "Sorry! Blah blah blah -you get the picture; actually, you don't) refusing to present the image if it contains swearwords, even if these words are in a language other than English. If you've been using Facebook for some time - I've used it for over a year now - you'll realize that this is the death knell for freedom of expression on that site. If you're passionate about freedom of expression and instinctively abhor censorship, be it only a minor one, I invite you to deactivate your account on Facebook and actively encourage your friends to boycott the snooping, hypocritical, censoring website.
