Facebook blocks links to Turkish protest organizing tool

... which suggests to me that facebook's sustained block of the legitimate news source
westpapuamedia.info
- despite ongoing attempts by the publishers and their readers to have it reviewed -
is precisely what supporters of the site claim it to be:
active submission to pressure from the murderous TNI
It is automatic spam filter, not intentional. The filter is removed after contacting with Facebook thanks to this post.

It's letting me post the link from USA.
I'm able to post the link from Turkey too.
That's good to hear! Once this got publicity, I'm sure Facebook expedited the removal of the block. Whether the block was intentional or not.

I got the same message today on something unrelated, it's not anything sinister. It's just facebook's worm control type thing and is only because the link has been posted a lot recently.
If you get stuck, try this: http://tidepools.dreamcats.org/
You can take the html and put that up anywhere you have a domain and it should set up a redirect.

Facebook, which was the main channel to share this tool in Turkey, has now blocked the URL from posts and messages.
Try posting or messaging with that link embedded and you will be prohibited. Here's a screenshot:
