  I'm not watching a 20 minute video on the topic, but there is a user in an HN comment[1] stating links to debian.org and qubes-os.org were removed by facebook. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42840143 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42840143

    Thus Facebook is not censoring Linux discussions or Linux content, what DistroWatch claimed, it blocks linking to what Facebook deems as malicious links (correctly or incorrectly), something a lot of software does these days. This is what the yanks call "a complete nothing-burger".

  It's a shame that this is one of the only accurate top-level comments and it's downvoted to hell.

    I think the complaint is that it's not really a "comment", so much as it's a link to Bryan's own 20 minute video talking about it. It comes off as an annoying bit of self-promotion. Though I will admit that Bryan is just a deeply unlikable human who is generally under-informed-at-best on any given subject that he's talking about, so people might be looking at it more cynically than if someone else posted it.

      Fair enough.
