Facebook now blocks all links to The Pirate Bay

Arrr, you can no longer share links to The Pirate Bay on Facebook.

“Your post couldn’t be shared, because this link goes against our Community Standards,” reads Facebook’s notification, which pops up when users attempt to share a link to The Pirate Bay. The ban extends to Facebook Messenger as well.

According to TorrentFreak, which first noticed the update, The Pirate Bay wasn't blocked from Facebook just a few weeks ago, even though the social media company was cracking down on other torrenting sites.
