Anyone notice Facebook slowing down/stopping services of people that post progressive info?

I noticed that my account was extremely slow trying to navigate to a liberal site and then I logged in under my sons account and there were no problems. I then logged back in on my account and again had extremely slow load speeds or no loads at all.

was localized to the IP address so much as it was to the actual f'book account. Ditto on the f'book sucks sentiment but that said it is a means of disseminating information that corpo-media won't

I see a constant stream of new posts from Everlasting GOP Stoppers and others, and there's been no change in that regard.

My newsfeed is always full of posts and reposts from "being liberal" "the other 98%" et al. And it works just fine.

something happening at the application layer (logging in) is controlling how packets are being handled in the network...

I could write some requirements for that. The problem is routers are designed to move packets quickly so to "force" a congestion scenario would be key.


Or I guess based on login we could redirect the users to something shitty like some old Sun Netra 120 servers LOL...
