Unstagram

So I've started posting stuff on instagram, my handle there is gorb314.
And at some point I thought it would be great to have a link back to this blog, so that if someone was interested they could get back here and read up a bit more.

Life carried on, for a bit. Then all of a sudden instagram started blocking my actions for some reason, and I finally figured out it was because of that link...

Facebook is being vague about why. Using the facebook debugger only tells me that the link to this website can't reviewed "because the content doesn't meet our Community Standards. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know". They even give you a little dialog box, that probably goes straight to /dev/null.

So pray tell, Facebook. Which part of this website does not meet your "Community Standards"?

From a bit of googling, it looks like most blogspot links are blocked by the Facebook monopoly. Is this just Facebook being an a-hole to Google?
