mmm... no idea, I don't care about fb
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Relax...fb doesn't care about you either...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

It's possibly an attempt to improve the content by forbidding anyone from posting...
Well, a man can hope!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

:p
But when your company has a Facebook page and you can't paste things into it, it really cuts down on the content.

I just pasted that text into facebook, no problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, I can do it from home, too. It's just here that it doesn't work.
I'm just trying to figure out what settings the idjits changed that screwed everything up at work. In the name of security, I'm sure.
I've never heard of being able to deny pasting on a URL basis, so I'm wondering if Facebook uses something stupid for their text boxes that is causing it.

That sounds likely.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Could it be a script file that's being blocked at work?
The difficult we do right away...

If I put in a ticket (the only way we have to find stuff out) saying we are unable to copy-n-paste to Facebook, it will be triaged and redirected to the Web team.
Which is me. :p
Really...it wouldn't matter if I said something about a GPO or security or whatever. All the triage people would see is "Facebook".

If you can "do it" from home, but not "do it" from work, then you are leading us around the mulberry bush with this post.
Occam's Razor suggests there is a reason you cannot it do from work, a good reason.

Really? A good reason why someone on the Web Team can't work on the organization's Facebook page?

I just received confirmation, that if you don't use Facebook, your life expectancy will increase by 5% in the next 10 minutes.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I suspect it's not really that your life expectancy will be any longer, but rather that you'll have more time to do things that are actually useful.

So what things CAN you paste? Does it happen on other computers, too? What effect does using a different browser have?

I can paste here:
In a complaint filed on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, Nataki Williams said she was fired in April 2014 while on maternity leave, after Viacom ignored her objections to its plan the prior year to transfer Ninja Turtles rights to a Netherlands-based entity solely to avoid the U.S. tax burden.
And elsewhere.
No one else here can paste to Facebook, either.
We can't change browsers (IE 11)
Interestingly enough, if I F12 it and have the debugger emulate IE8 or earlier, I can paste to my heart's content.
There were no problems 6 months ago, as far as I know. Then all of a sudden you couldn't paste in a comment to a post. And now, today, you can't paste anywhere in FB.
It's acting like Facebook is using some bizarro textbox, instead of the regular one, or is running some script on it (maybe running it through its censoring algorithm), or something.
Frankly, I don't think a GPO could be set up just block pasting to FB, but not block direct editing.
But I'm hoping it's a combination of those two things, with our end being something we can undo.
I've googled similar complaints, and there were some a while ago, but none of the "fixes" did anything at all.

There is a way to remove a non-answer from a question I asked and let the question show again as 'unanswered'?
(I think most of the visitors in QA look for unanswered question, so I would like my question to show there - is my assumption right?)
Irrelevant - to member removed that non-answer alone (I guess it was the member...)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

People can flag non-answers as such, think you need to just wait for this to happen and the non-answer to be deleted.

Over the past year, I have been really enjoying mobile app development. I has been fun and cool for me. When I first started, I thought it was a good thing that the industry is lacking in good mobile developers, so I could easily fill the gap in a few years. Now I'm not so sure. Mobile development is really cool, and is something I love to do but with this whole no-code required citizen developer crap and the push to teach 10 year olds how to code, I'm not so sure. I don't want to spend time really getting good at something just to find out that no one needs the skill because they can "do it themselves".
What do y'all think, is native mobile application development a lost cause? Should I go back to doing something else?

Yes, you should 
It seems you didn't pick mobile development because it was fun, but because you thought it's career opportunity. Indeed it looks like it is very valuable skill right now in time there "supply" of developers is much smaller than "demand". Will it stay the same forever? Definitely not. Will it stay the same for next 2,3 or 4 years? I don't know. No one really does.
I've learned how to program long before I was thinking what I want to do for a living. I've learned it because it was fun and I'm still doing it because it is fun. Oh, and I'm getting paid for it.
But if things went different back then or programmers wouldn't be in high demand, I could end as someone else, but still programming for fun.
TL;DR:
If you picked up mobile dev only because it is in high demand NOW, you made mistake. If you picked it because it is fun, than why bother what 10 year old can do in drag-drop programming?

You must live in a different country than me. Because that isn't going to happen here.
There can be regions that get overstaffed but that only happens when one gets sucked into a region with a lot of companies doing the same and then they all go bust. So just plan ahead for that and it is all good.

IMHO, we should attempt to do what most 10-year olds cannot do, like coding for algorithms, OS kernels, reasonably advanced math, compilers, 3D geometry, etc.
Platform independent, that is. Becomes immaterial whether it is mobile, or web, or ... the good old desktop.
