Facebook just pulled/blocked the Rolling Stone article about Bernie. [View all]

I posted it and got a like and comment and went to comment back and it had disappeared. I then tried to link it again and got this message:

This is the article I'm talking about: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/give-em-hell-bernie-20150429?page=2
Somebody else please test this on fb.

UPDATE
This appears to be a facebook glitch. It seems others are reporting similar problems with posts.
