I run a Bernie Sanders Facebook group and noticed many Sanders related links/photos had been removed. Among the sites blocked include:

http://www.ontheissues.org/house/Bernie_Sanders.htm
The aforementioned Rolling Stones Article
An article from Huffington Post Politics

I'm glad this thread was created - the other members of the group and I are scrambling to find the answer. I hope this gets attention.

I should also note that other pages from "On the Issues" were allowed to be posted, including Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

Weird. I found RS's original post and tried to "like" it, and got this: arcane1 Apr 2015 #4

It has vanished from my wall. What the serious frack?! Ed Suspicious Apr 2015 #5
