Facebook blocking "irrelevant" comments from now on. Wait, what?



In all honesty, 99.9% of the comments and posts I see on my facebook feed are completely and unarguably irrelevant and half of them are far from positive, so Facebook's criteria on what's appropriate or not remains unclear to me.

Since yesterday, this enormous social network started preventing some users from making certain replies or comments - even though those same replies and comments didn't contain any profanities or even suggestive language!

This has outraged many users of the popular website, because they consider that it's unnecessary censorship of their personal interactions with their friends.

While the internet was screaming the words "censorship" and "liberty of speech", Facebook addressed the public and said that this is simply a new, incredibly advanced spam filter that's made several mistakes, and that they've fixed the filter in the blink of an eye - users are, however, still reporting this issue even though they're not being offensive nor are they using profane language.
