Facebook has repeatedly allowed world leaders and politicians to use its platform to deceive the public or harass opponents despite being alerted to evidence of the wrongdoing.

The Guardian has seen extensive internal documentation showing how Facebook handled more than 30 cases across 25 countries of politically manipulative behavior that was proactively detected by company staff.

The investigation shows how Facebook has allowed major abuses of its platform in poor, small and non-western countries in order to prioritize addressing abuses that attract media attention or affect the US and other wealthy countries. The company acted quickly to address political manipulation affecting countries such as the US, Taiwan, South Korea and Poland, while moving slowly or not at all on cases in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mongolia, Mexico, and much of Latin America.

Try this.
www.instapaper.com also works but it requires you to create a account though.

This extension (Bypass Paywalls) works perfectly on that Wall Street Journal page--you can access the entire article. Since I don't encounter paywalls too often, I bookmarked the extension page and deleted the extension when finished reading. Only takes a second or two to re- install it in Firefox. I could disable it but prefer minimum add-ons.

Thanks!
