Facebook has been making new video changes to make it more appealing for users and Facebook Pages to share video directly on Facebook rather than linking to a YouTube or other third-party video. But Facebook is clearly having some issues when it comes to sharing.
I was sharing a video that had been uploaded to Facebook by a Facebook Page that someone else had shared. Instead of sharing the video, Facebook instead popped up a security warning, alerting me to the fact my post contained a link that “might be unsafe” and asked me to either remove the link or enter in a CAPTCHA.
The unsafe link in question Facebook felt it needed to warn me about?

The video in question was this:
Definitely nothing wrong with the video, and no reason why Facebook should be warning me that their own Facebook.com links are unsafe. Hopefully this will be fixed soon as they are trying to grab some of the video market share away from YouTube.
