It appears that Facebook is trying to censor stories that reference Beverley Nelson's yearbook forgery. You can read more about that story here (you will have to copy and paste as Steemit doesn't recognize the full url):

Andrew Torba (of Gab) noted that his Breitbart post on the Nelson forgery was flagged by Facebook as being "disputed by PolitiFact:"
Gab tweeted: "This is unreal. Facebook is attempting to police the sources of information you share..."

Breitbart confirmed the Facebook censorship:

Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit pointed out that Facebook took down their articles on the Allred/Nelson forgery as well & pointed out that Facebook censorship amounts to picking winners and losers in the Alabama Senate race:
"So @Facebook also took down our #Allred phony signature story too— #Facebook is picking winnere-losers(sic) in #ALSEN race"

Breitbart and Gateway Pundit are both trash outlets; Beitbart in particular is pretty brazen when it comes to publishing fake news. And Facebook is a private corporation that can do what they want (which has scary implications far beyond flagging somebody's bogus link). But PolitiFact is a pretty poor choice of fact-checking service, and are often flat-out wrong. Factcheck.org and Snopes are both far superior.

What- you prefer CNN, lol? The story came from an ABC interview of Nelson herself where she admits to altering the yearbook inscription. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/roy-moore-accuser-speaks-election-day-51666091
Facebook shouldn't take money from the Government if it wants to be a private corporation. I hear that Facebook money from Peter Theil. I would love to see that investigated. Corporations that owe allegiance to the CIA shouldn't be treated as private companies. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-25/google-and-facebook-are-not-really-private-and-shouldnt-do-they-please-alex-jones-an
