So a couple articles about Facebook security breach were caught in a Facebook automated spam detection system.

And this is a far more appropriate title "Articles about Facebook security breach were caught in a Facebook automated spam detection system."

The title TC is using is pure clickbait (and they are now blacklisted in my browser).

Facebook doing things Facebook does. No surprise here.

So is TechCrunch going to write an article each time Facebook’s spam algorithms block some random URL?

Ah I bet that is a smart move that will pay off for them in the long run.

Facebook users have had outrages since day one. Usually they had even more signups the following month.

"Not a media company, just a technology platform"

That seems destined for some major Streisand effect.

More like a minor issue getting extrapolated due to some other news. Is there any name for it? It adds to the effect even though not really responsible.
