Facebook Blocking Ron Paul Search (UPDATED)

UPDATE (14:13 EST): The search is working now.

Go ahead and try to search Facebook for “Ron Paul”—here’s what I got:

“Search is currently unavailable. Please try again at a later time or right now.” But as much as you try, you still get this message. So maybe search is down, except… if I do a Facebook search for “Paul,” I get this:

So Facebook search is working just fine, but won’t give you results when you search for Ron Paul. Hmm… now why would that be happening?

And does this have anything to do with Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Facebook?

How the Facebook Stole Christmas

Maybe you didn’t know this, but both my wife and I are on Facebook. Now let’s say I don’t know about Beacon. I buy her a Christmas gift from a Beacon-enabled online store, and guess what? She sees it next time she logs into her account.

There you have it: Christmas morning ruined. Thanks a lot, Zuckerman.

If you don’t want your loved ones peeking under the wrapping paper while browsing their News Feed, maybe you should consider installing Aaron Brazell’s Freakin’ Beacon Firefox extension. It’ll let you know when you’re on a Beacon-enabled site, so you can avoid it like the plague.
