There Oughta Be A Law

5 Tips to Block Politics From Your Facebook Timeline. I know. You hate political posts on Facebook also. I have declared my Facebook feed a no politics zone. Unsurprisingly, it hasn't made any difference at all. So, rather than unfriend your friends (you know I love you all), I have been making a habit of using tip number one: Just click the down arrow and tell Facebook to hide an offending post. After a while, Facebook gets the message and hides them automatically. Of course, when your friend asks if you read his or her post about that scalawag that is running for office, you will have to lie and nod your head approvingly. But, at least you didn't have to read it.
