There’s something terrible happening behind Facebook right now, a blunder if not worst than that. Coming straight to the point, Facebook has blocked access to all bit.ly links spread across Facebook and telling the users that link has been reported “abusive” by other Facebook users.

Now that Facebook has grown to well over 350 million users, it’s an uphill task for them to implement even a small policy change to the entire network population. You never know how users will react to the new policies. Nobody can forget the Beacon controversy and now there is another BIG Policy change rolling all across Facebook these days. And this one is tough, really tough to handle(did we hear why ?) Because, it’s about your Privacy folks.

It was back in April when we wrote a post regarding [content suppressed] act by Orkut, where Orkut had started suppressing links posted by the users within their profiles and status updates, to counter growing spam activities within the social network.
About one month from that post, we wrote another post about Orkut’s Act Reversal when we could clearly make out that the links were no more being replaced with [content suppressed] within user profiles. We reckon, it was a direct effect of the User agitation due to Orkut’s link …
