Facebook Censors My Wall

I tried to post an article on my Facebook wall; the piece was a brief Boston Globe column about alternatives to the F-word when the F-word feels repetitive or obscene.  I commented that readers might also enjoy a different piece (from best of Cragslist, no less) about the “c-word” and told them they could find it on my Google shared items, but did not add a link.  In other words, I used no profanity nor did the Globe article.  And yet, Facebook would not allow me to post it:
