The Truth Is Out There

facebook to WordPress


THIS IS A ‘BRIEF’ NOTICE FROM WORDPRESS THAT I JUST RECEIVED.

I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THIS SEA CHANGE IN CENSORSHIP GOING ON AT FREAKBOOK AND IT’S GETTING WORSE NOW ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS.

Dear WordPress Subscriber

We wanted to update you about an upcoming change Facebook is introducing to their platform, and which affects how you may share posts from your website to your Facebook account.

Starting August 1, 2018, third-party tools can no longer share posts automatically to Facebook Profiles. This includes Publicize, the WordPress.​com tool that connects your site to major social media platforms (like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook).

While Facebook says it is introducing this change to improve their platform and prevent the misuse of personal profiles, we believe that eliminating cross-posting from WordPress is another step back in Facebook’s support of the open web, especially since it affects people’s ability to interact with their network (unless they’re willing to pay for visibility) We know that this might cause a disruption in the way you and your Facebook followers interact, and if you’d like to share your concerns with Facebook, we urge you to head to their Help Community to speak out.
