I’m sorry if this causes FaceBook’s shares to drop (get it?), but I’m removing the nifty button to “share” and “like” our articles on readers’ FaceBook accounts.
But why?
Yes, readers were using it, but I realized FaceBook can’t be effectively filtered from obscenities. The user has no control over what pictures he is shown, and if he blocks all photos, he misses the overlaid text, which is half of the text. So, I don’t want to have any part of that service.
