Please forgive my ignorance. I truly want to understand your post. It is a goddamned miracle there hasn’t yet been vigilante justice - by who/m? Against who/m?
I would be curious to see the numbers on the party affiliation of the folks whose activity on the platform generates the most ad revenue for Facebook.Feral wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 7:01 am (If you choose to go to twitter to read this thread, there are numerous links referencing what the author says.)
2. For several years, Zuckerberg has oriented Facebook's entire public policy apparatus around placating Republicans and Trump
Again and again, Facebook has taken actions to empower Trump and the right-wing, ignoring their own policies
3. Trump is spending millions on Facebook ads featuring claims that have been debunked by Facebook's third-party fact-checkers
In response, Facebook CHANGED ITS POLICIES to allow Trump (and other politicians) to lie in ads
4. Facebook says again and again that it never changed it's political ad policy.
But it did!
I have receipts.
The policy used to ban all misinformation in ads. Then Trump started spending millions to spread misinformation and the policy was changed.
5. Facebook recruited the Daily Caller, a far-right site founded by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, to become an official fact-checker for Facebook. The decision was made even though the Daily Caller has a history of inaccurate reporting targeting Democrats.
6. The Daily Caller uses its privileged position to benefit Trump and reduce the distribution of critical articles about Trump by outlets like POLITICO.
Why does The Daily Caller get to fact check POLITICO on Facebook?
Because Zuckerberg says so
7. Facebook hired former Republican Senator Jon Kyl to produce a report on whether Facebook is biased against conservatives. Facebook did not make any effort to study whether the platform had any bias against liberals.
8. Zuckerberg invited right-wing pundits to his home to discuss "partnerships" and "free speech." Invitees included Tucker Carlson, who recently said that immigrants were making America "dirtier," and Brent Bozell, who said President Obama looked like a "skinny ghetto crackhead."
9. Facebook allows The Daily Wire, a toxic right-wing website, a clandestine network of 14 Facebook pages that purport to be independent but exclusively promote content from The Daily Wire
This is in clear violation of Facebook's rules
10. The head of "Facebook News," Campbell Brown, continues to be involved in her own news outlet, The74, which Brown founded with the support of Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Brown wrote a column on the site lavishly praising DeVos
Facebook's top news executive has her own media outlet — and it's been savaging Elizabeth Warren
11. Zuckerberg announced the launch of Facebook News on stage with News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, a top executive in Rupert Murdoch's right-wing media empire
12. Brown and Zuckerberg hired a former producer for Fox & Friends, Jennifer Williams, to run video strategy for Facebook News
Williams will be part of Facebook's news curation team, which means she'll be selecting content to be featured in the News tab
In October, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the creation of a new "Facebook News" tab.
13. Facebook News team elected to include Breitbart — a noxious right-wing site that was caught laundering white nationalist talking points — among the 200 "quality" sources included in the launch.
14. Facebook has a policy that prohibits misrepresentation on voting methods. In announcing the policy, Zuckerberg said there would be no exception for Trump or other politicians.
Trump is now violating the policy, but Facebook won't enforce it
Facebook and Twitter are terrified of Trump
Facebook and Twitter both issued clear policies: Publishing misinformation about voting methods in advance of the 2020 election is prohibited.
15. I'm going to continue to report the THE TRUTH about how Facebook operates.
That's because it is a core source of information for billions of people.

By the "storm the Michigan capitol building with an AR-15 because I couldn't buy a jetski" crowd against the "light buildings on fire because the police killed a guy" crowd.
Gotcha! I agree that it's a miracle - if it's true. My concern is just because we haven't heard/read anything doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I posted the video yesterday of the "storm the Michigan capitol building with an AR-15 because I couldn't buy a jetski" guys who let it be known they were armed, ready, willing, and able to commit vigilante justice in Minneapolis - should they feel a need/desire.jfish26 wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 8:35 amBy the "storm the Michigan capitol building with an AR-15 because I couldn't buy a jetski" crowd against the "light buildings on fire because the police killed a guy" crowd.

Yet 95% of "libtards" who post on Facebook either don't know or don't give a fudge and will continue to post on Facebook - until the new "fad" becomes "boycott Facebook".
I keep it around as it has been the easiest to stay in contact with international friends.
But this attitude also rubs me wrong==we're taking it all too seriously now.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Fri May 29, 2020 10:02 am it all sucks, and imo does more harm than good on multiple levels
