Perixoog··on Facebook and its news feed algorithm
For the Trivial one -

http://www.fbpurity.com/

>F.B. Purity is a browser extension / add-on that lets you clean up and customise Facebook. It filters out the junk you don't want to see, leaving behind the stories and page elements you do wish to see. The list of story types that FBP hides is customizable to your taste.

Perixoog··on How Blue Lights on Train Platforms Combat Tokyo’s Suicide Epidemic

Perixoog··on Facebook is misleading Indians with its full-page ads about Free Basics
The original article link to http://www.SaveTheInternet.in is actually to http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.SaveTheIntern...

That looks like a link where facebook has replaced the link to the website with their own URL for tracking purposes. As a consequence they have to prevent open redirect attacks - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Open_redirect .

Yes the same system can be used for censorship - but facebook can do that anyway because you're sharing links through a platform they have total control over.

The irony (of using a facebook tracking url to promote an anti-facebook site) is beautiful.

Then the site emails you anyway. (If you didn't want them to, you shouldn't have given them your email address).
