Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a pretty good amount of "friends" on Facebook, so I found it puzzling when I made several posts over the past 2 weeks, but got not a single "like" or comment on any of them. They ranged in topic from sports to politics to pro wrestling...
I just browsed down my own page and noticed a padlock icon next to my recent posts, indicating I had shared them with "only me". I've had this setting set to "share publicly" for years, and haven't even been to the settings page in years either.
I noticed the first post I made that was "locked" read simply "Investigate #pizzagate" on 11/26.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this, if Facebook is censoring the hashtag or its investigators, or if my app somehow magically changed to share posts with "only me" (what would be the point of that?).

It has been a battle. Set your occupation to freelance journalist with Consortium of International Journalists. Threaten to sue or make a big stink. I have over 3,000 friends and my account is years and years old, which helps. I have had plenty of other accounts go down.
