Facebook blocks links to Turkish protest organizing tool

This mapping / SMS reporting tool is being used by protesters in Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara for a variety of needs:<p>http://tidepools.co/gezi<p>Facebook, which was the main channel to share this tool in Turkey, has now blocked the URL from posts and messages.<p>Try posting or messaging with that link embedded and you will be prohibited. Here's a screenshot:<p>http://imgur.com/1IIFlZi

If you get stuck, try this: <a href="http://tidepools.dreamcats.org/" rel="nofollow">http://tidepools.dreamcats.org/</a><p>You can take the html and put that up anywhere you have a domain and it should set up a redirect.

I got the same message today on something unrelated, it's not anything sinister. It's just facebook's worm control type thing and is only because the link has been posted a lot recently.

It is automatic spam filter, not intentional. The filter is removed after contacting with Facebook thanks to this post.
