This morning was a shocking wake-up call for anyone who cares about free speech on the internet.

I'm really mixed on it, whether the instructions from the government caused this level of cencorship, to attack digital news, Murdoch's main remaining rival, or Facebook did it themselves to spite the Government for making them pay.
