Facebook is blocking Pirate Bay torrents from being shared on the popular social-networking site, a week after Pirate Bay unveiled a feature to allow Facebook users the ability to link torrents on their profiles.

In case you forgot. the four co-founders of the Pirate Bay are awaiting an April 17 verdict to criminal copyright infringement charges from their home country of Sweden.

Other sources already point out that the censorship is so easy to circumvent that the implementation itself looks just like a ridiculous attempt.
