As many know, Facebook censors certain posts. They have a team of bots as well as humans scouring through posts to decide which ones get soft-censored, where the story no longer appears in people's new feeds, or hard-censored, where the post is removed entirely and a warning is issued.
Any website that attracts as many eyeballs as Facebook's does and will always have government controlling them.
Massive sums have been spent on surveillance.

Here's my post. It doesn't seem all that harmful does it?
You have the ability to slow or halt your aging
Here's why. The power of placebo and nocebo effects have been shown again and again. This is why in every research study, there is always one group that is told the drug is real even though the drug is fake. Yet, the group taking the fake drug can sometimes manifest huge improvement. Doesn’t this, therefore, prove the mind can affect the body? And if so, doesn’t that imply that one’s thoughts, positive or negative, can affect the body? And if so, doesn’t that imply that one’s DNA and genetic expression can be altered by thoughts?
A Crackpot?
Bruce Lipton, despite his impressive accomplishments, has been billed a crackpot by the scientific establishment for his views that one's thoughts can alter one's DNA. Yet research in 2013 showed that mindful meditation positively alters genetic expression.

And evidence is mounting that mindfulness also may have key benefits for your physical health -- from reducing free radical damage which causes premature aging to lowering blood pressure to helping curb addiction.
So why is Lipton still considered a crackpot? Shouldn’t he be considered a hero? History is littered with brilliant minds who were at one time considered crackpots because they violated scientific paradigms. Yet the established ‘facts’ that are derived through experimenting with the external world have consistently changed over time, effectively illustrating that many truths weren’t truths after all. Philosophical and political bias ‘unscientifically’ plagues modern science.
