It seems suspicious to me that they do not include the "offending" Facebook post. It seems like this is it, and it seems completely in the realm of journalism,

It's in the article. The pictured post by "Southern Belle Watch".
This link doesn't seem to load
Not sure why they used that link (though it works fine for me). Here's the same screenshot from the article

It's facebook post. Firefox's "copy text from image" gives this unformatted blob:

The domain only has an IPv6 address, so the link doesn't work on IPv4.
Seems like someone is aiming for the future.
IPv6 is the present. IPv4 is the past. IPv8 is the future.
I disable v6 on all my networks.
Many people are stuck in the past.
To make matters worse, some of us filter fbcdn (among other domains).
wouldn't they be guilty of the same crime?
