   if F*k is censoring references to Linux, most of which should say GNU/Linux anyway, maybe people will finally learn to say and write GNU?

     @lxo Unfortunately, that buzzword is so popular that even most of those who know that Linux is only a kernel, keep using it to refer to GNU and other software and I doubt they would change now even when facing censorship for using the wrong word.
     
     I'm sure that facebook would censor references to GNU even harder if it was widely used on there, as they do not want people to know that a free software OS actually exists after all.
