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?

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?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

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.

These "kiddy" development tools can only reach a simple quality and structure. So your coding skills must go further, for instance in security or UI design.
Mobile devices wont go away. I think the will replace the desktop PC in a lot of cases and will extend for TV and cloud access. Like Apple TV: development is like for iPhone.

Desktop (and laptop) sales are going down.
Mobile development will continue to gain momentum as more and more professional applications are converted from desktop to mobile.
Hardware will be more and more "internet" aware, so that there will be no need to be physically connected to a desktop PC; people will be able to connect directly to it from their own mobile device.
For example, medical equipment will be able to directly talk to the medical team from every where, same thing for engineering applications or other fields.
I'd rather be phishing!

I would like a dollar for each of those "down" sales for last year. Just last year.
Actually I would be good with even a penny.

Perhaps, but the installed base is immense. There's no lack of things to do in the desktop.

Yes, the rise of the "crapp". All focused on not doing anything of substance (that would involve writing actual code, can't have that) and just connecting some different APIs together, I'm sure.

Don't then. Why get good at such a specific platform? You can just look that sh*t up. There are more worthy skills to learn, and you no doubt already have.
