OK, that's cool :)

| When the picture’s takedown went viral, the photo went into wide
| circulation on the social network, including on the Facebook page
| of Mr. Ut, the photographer. Facebook later said it would take some
| time for the photo and posts that contained it to reappear across
| the site, perhaps as much as a few days.
|
| Mr. Egeland, the Norwegian author whose Facebook post kicked off
| the global protest, said the company’s reversal underlined how
| people can come together to force a tech giant to change its ways
| — even though he could still not post on his own Facebook page
| until his three-day exile expired.
