As this article reports, "Facebook is testing placing a limit on how many links some users can share when they post on the social media platform." I'm sure I don't need to emphasize how anti-Web this is. "Tests like this underline why building a business that's overly dependent on any one platform's goodwill is incredibly risky." Even more to the point, it underlines why we shouldn't depend on centralzied servcies at all.  See also: the Guardian.
