@pluralistic I shared this on Facebook, and their automated systems called it spam, blocked it, and warned me that future infractions put my account at risk. Awkward irony.

@pluralistic

I tried to share the article - on your website – on Facebook but my post was immediately taken down for being "misleading".

    My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
