I think a post of mine got censored on Facebook. Here’s why.

Last week, I read a NYT profile of New Jersey senatorial candidate Cory Booker that discussed his friendship with that state’s governor Chris Christie. One incidental point caught my eye: Booker, the Times reported, had introduced Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to Christie (Zuckerberg had given a bunch of money to Newark schools), and Zuckerberg had helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Christie.

So that struck me as interesting, because Christie, as you may know, is an avid foe of gay marriage, and I was surprised that a Silicon Valley guy, whose company is supposed to be progressive (lean in!), would donate money to an anti-gay politician. (Because let’s be honest, there’s no way that you can be against gay marriage and not be anti-gay.)

So I posted something to that effect on my Facebook wall, or whatever you call it—something about “I wonder how many gay users of Facebook know that Mark Zuckerberg is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for anti-gay Chris Christie.”

For sure, I thought, I’d get a few comments about that—I don’t post a lot because I don’t trust Facebook on privacy issues, but when I do, I always get some comments. And this kind of thing is right up the alley of a lot of Facebook users. And, frankly, I have a lot of gay friends. (I went to Yale, so, you know..)

So I waited for the discussion…and waited…and waited…

Nothing. Not one comment.

That’s strange, I thought. One thousand-plus friends, most of whom I actually know, and not one comment?

And it occurred to me that, since Facebook apparently controls what people see in their newsfeed, maybe it censors posts about Mark Zuckerberg. And so nobody else but me even saw that post.

Anyone out there heard of anything like this before? And is that even possible? Or am I just being paranoid?

Would love any thoughts on the matter…
