Facebook is blocking users from posting stories about its security breach

    Some users are reporting that they are unable to post today’s
    big story about a security breach affecting 50 million
    Facebook users. The issue appears to only affect particular
    stories from certain outlets, at this time one story from The
    Guardian and one from the Associated Press, both reputable
    press outlets.
    ...
    The situation is another example of Facebook’s automated
    content flagging tools marking legitimate content as
    illegitimate, in this case calling it spam.

Which posts are being blocked? The Guardian one and the AP one linked at the top of that post work fine for me.

Those articles were hitting their spam filter (not sure why reliable news sources won't be whitelisted) which prevented users from posting and deleted posts that were already made.

They may have fixed the "bug" now.

It's because the Guardian is not a 'Reputable' new site wholly. It is still remotely published stories that aren't under employees or constant people. I am pretty sure associated Press is the same. They are better than say Rebel, but not much better
