Sharing and shortening Steemit URL's - annnnnd the Facebook CENSORSHIP

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Hey Guys.

Since a few hours, i cannot share Steemit URL's with a "Preview-view" on Facebook anymore. See the Screenshot. This wasn't a issue a few hours ago:

If i am using the Facebook Debug analyzer, the following error occurred:

URL: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Error: Could Not Connect To Server - Check that the webserver is running, and that there are no firewalls blocking Facebook's crawlers.

I tried to use a URL shortening Service to prevent this behavior, but still the same error.

I used http://www.steemurl.com/ --> A good Website to create to track shortlinks.
I am pretty sure that Facebook is doing this on purpose - in other terms: censorship.

Does anyone has a solution to this? Does that behave the same on your Facebook Account?

Have a great day,
Roland

that's a complex post. I appreciate your work

what do you mean with complex? Anything i can write easier?

Its not surprising. Steemit is going to sap away facebooks power and members. They dont want any competition.

but here we are... :) You can't get rid of steemit... :)

If fa ce boo k is blocking, means were on the right track. I´m very new but hope steemIt grows, despite tyranny.
