Facebook Has Appointed Itself the Internet's Morality Police

Well, isn't this adorable?

Today, I committed the apparently outrageous act of searching Facebook for "Lucy Craig."

Facebook's response? "Sensitive results hidden."

Oh, thank GOD! Imagine the psychological devastation I might have suffered from seeing the very information I deliberately searched for! On second thought, they might have saved me from seeing additional images of her.

Apparently, Facebook has decided that grown adults cannot be trusted to read things, evaluate information, or - brace yourselves - form their own fucking opinions.

Instead, we get a lovely censorship screen and a helpful little button directing us to Facebook's Help Center, which provides no help at all. How thoughtful!

Perhaps the Help Center can explain why a corporation gets to play digital mommy and decide what its users are mature enough to see. I can't search "Lucy Craig" (a topic of massive public debate) but their own platforms allow minors as young as 13 to observe pornography. Make it make sense.

What exactly makes this search so sensitive? Facebook doesn't say. Apparently, explanations are sensitive too.

Here's a revolutionary idea, Facebook: If I search for something, and manually type it in the search bar, perhaps I WANT TO FUCKING SEE IT.

I didn't request a babysitter. I requested search results.

But thank you, Silicon Valley, for protecting humanity from the terrifying dangers of independent thought and verification and research.

At this rate, Facebook's next feature will be asking your permission to have an opinion - and then denying it for your own safety.

Welcome to 2026, where searching for a name requires corporate moral approval.

But not here at the LucyCraig.blog where we promote freedom of expression to the fullest.
