    I think TEDxBristol is hiding critical comments on Facebook. I could've sworn there were a bunch of them at
    Code:
    https://www.facebook.com/TEDxBristol/videos/1952785661451603/
    when someone posted a link earlier today. Now I can only see 5, though it says there are 39. Anyone else having the same problem, or am I failing at Facebook again? :p

    I can see quite a few but if you are friends with someone whose comment(s) have been hidden then you will continue to see them, as long as you are logged in. One way to test this would be to log out and look at the same TEDxBristol post, and that way find out what is hidden and what isn't. My guess is they will have hidden all the critical ones.

    Looks like they're almost all missing for me. That's not a good sign.

    "Dare to Disrupt"... not in that way!

    Can also only view 5 comments (out of 39).

    Just had a look at the TEDx Twitter account and it made me chuckle. Took me a while to find EC. :)

    Can two play this game, can we create an opposing video and put it on TEDx?
    Any volunteers?

    I can also only see 5 comments, though it says 39. If you hover over '39 comments' it only lists the writers of the 5 on show.
    I notice EC is on the trailer video, but not listed in the 'class of 2017'.
    I've added a comment. Let's see how long it lasts.

    Nope! Comment count now 40, but still only 5 visible, yours not one of them.

    As long as you don't mind waiting a couple years until the next TEDxBristol :p But if they're shutting down criticism of Crawley on Facebook, they probably wouldn't be amenable to hosting an oppositional talk and video anyhow.

    I see :(
    Does anyone have any contacts at a major newspaper, say someone willing to write an article that Ted is protecting quacks?

    Are people's faceache comments visible to only themselves or disappearing completely?

    I think they aren't entirely deleted, as seen by the claimed total number of comments. But there is a way to hide them from the public at least.

    While TEDxBristol could potentially delete those comments that they find too disruptive, at the moment they are merely hiding them.
