Facebook froze information that was shared with me for the past week, preventing me from viewing an important meeting of Navajos fighting Wildcat Mining on the sacred mountain in Hesperus, Colorado. I was also prevented from sharing a photo of the type of surveillance van photographed outside Occupy Wall Street.
Why did Facebook freeze content that was tagged for me to post and tagged for me to share? Facebook said I had violated its policies. Since I have no idea what policy I violated (and really couldn't care less) I took a look back at my most controversial posts from a week ago.
Possibly, Facebook didn't appreciate the ACLU article, "The Social Network is Stalking You."
However, based on the responses of the trolls on Facebook -- those who attempt to discredit, confuse and distract -- the most controversial post would have been this photo of Retired Police Capt. Ray Lewis of Philadelphia, supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York.
But really, there was so much police abuse of peaceful protesters across the nation about one week ago, that any of the following posts could have been sufficient to trigger Big Brother slamming my Facebook content into ice-chest mode.
Here's my list of the top 20 controversial posts that could have triggered Facebook freezing my incoming content last week.
We begin with the photo of the police surveillance van parked outside Occupy Wall Street in New York, during the raid on Zuccotti Park.
Here's 19 other controversial posts on my Facebook:
