Starting this past week I can't post comments to any site that uses Facebook such as USA Today.

At FiveThirtyEight.com I can't even read the comments.
I only have a Facebook account for posting comments and my Chrome Book was working fine for it just last week so did Facebook do something to my account without letting me know?

and personal information to register. So, while I used to get upset at missing videos and other linked content, I'm just reconciled.

Sorry, I can't help. I can appreciate that it is frustrating for those who might have used it in the past.

I had to log in to Facebook again, and here to post also, but I was able to read and comment on sites that use FB for their comments. Loading comments on USA Today was much faster because before it seemed like it would need to load every advertising site on the internet to even see the comments.
