Bs.. i remember sending the link for the nypost article to a friend via facebook measenger and the link would simply be deleted as soon as I sent it.

That isn’t tweaking algos.

Right. I remember a friend trying to share the link, and the app on the phone said "No - this link cannot be shared." My friend took a screenshot on his phone and then posted it to a Discord server I'm on. I forget if it was Twitter or Facebook; but both were complicit.

I've also seen posts by people defending this censorship with the lie that "you could still get to the NY Post article, so it wasn't censorship." This is bullshit. How am I supposed to even know there _was_ a NY Post article if your platform shuts down the attempts to share that link?

That Discord screenshot was the only way I learned that there even was a story.
