Facebook is the Devil's spawn. Wean yourself off it it, if you can. It is headed in an even darker direction as it struggles to remain relevant. If you like pictures of your fam and friends, go to its sister site - instagram.

FB has gone fucking insane. Within the span of probably an hour I came across 3 similar stories from friends stating their posts which were just links to news items regarding the coronavirus pandemic had been removed for failing to meet community standards. Went to Surly for a few minutes, back to FB and one of mine had been removed along with a 4th account from a friend of a friend that theirs had been removed. First time for both of us. Mine was simply a news link pointing out Trump's denial that he knew anything of the dismantling to Obama's pandemic response juxtaposed with video of him discussing it in 2018. 8abe77f5eee969aa099dd8feafdd2b8c.jpg

There is some weird shit going on with FB. A bunch of posts linking Dallas Morning News articles today were removed. Here is but one example.

Honestly, Facebook should just censor everything right now. And by that I mean we should SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN. 

All it is is a massive misinformation and propaganda machine. Fuck off zuckerberg. You created a monster that is out of control. We have to kill it.

Just to re-iterate one more time  - fuck Facebook and fuck Mark Zuckerberg.

The Lincoln Project, a super PAC run by Republicans who oppose President Donald Trump, contacted Facebook to push the social media giant to remove a warning label it attached to the group’s blistering “Mourning in America” ad.

Reed Galen, a member of the Lincoln Project’s advisory board, said the group has been in touch with leaders at Facebook over the matter.

The ad, which recently aired on Fox News, triggered a Twitter tirade from Trump, who slammed some of the group’s most prominent members, including George Conway, the husband of top White House advisor Kellyanne Conway. The Lincoln Project said it had its biggest day of fundraising, hauling in $1 million, after Trump’s outburst.

The Facebook warning argues there is partly false information within the ad, which rips Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The company cites a Politifact article for the reason it put up the warning. The article says a line in the ad, “Trump bailed out Wall Street, but not Main Street,” is false.

“When I pointed out to Facebook folks that dozens of QAnon and other conspiracy [and] false pieces of content go by on their platform I got the verbal equivalent of a shrug,” Galen told CNBC. He also said the group has made a direct appeal to Politifact, the third-party fact-checker for Facebook that recently labeled one of the lines in the ad as false.

The conversations with Facebook started Thursday, when the warning label was added, and have continued into Friday. 

A Facebook spokesman declined to comment for this story. The company’s fact-checking policies state that if a group is successful in its appeal to the third-party organization, the template on the ad will be removed.x.gif?mpsid=2010682296&mpspath=%252Fid%252F106528792&site=cnbc-web&authusr=&errtype=TypeError&errmsg=mps._append%20inline%20-%20Cannot%2520read%2520property%2520%27indexOf%27%2520of%2520undefined&errstack=TypeError%253A%2520Cannot%2520read%2520property%2520%27indexOf%27%2520of%2520undefined%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520at%2520%253Canonymous%253E%253A2%253A41%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520at%2520Object.mps._append%2520(https%253A%252F%252Fmps.cnbc.com%252Ffetch%252Fext%252Fload-cnbc-web.js%253Fnowrite%253D2%253A324%253A50)%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520at%2520Object.mps.executeInserts%2520(https%253A%252F%252Fmps.cnbc.com%252Ffetch%252Fext%252Fload-cnbc-web.js%253Fnowrite%253D2%253A2646%253A11)%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520at%2520mpsCallback%2520(https%253A%252F%252Fmps.cnbc.com%252Ffetch%252Fext%252Fload-cnbc-web.js%253Fnowrite%253D2%253A2682%253A9)%250A%2520%2520%2520%2520at%2520XMLHttpRequest.mpsxhr.onload%2520(https%253A%252F%252Fmps.cnbc.com%252Ffetch%252Fext%252Fload-cnbc-web.js%253Fnowrite%253D2%253A3684%253A7)

Facebook and Twitter are fucking cancers on society and should be HEAVILY regulated.

facebook needs to be burned down, but if twitter gets regulated that almost certainly means self-produced porn goes away.  let's not throw the baby out of with the bath water.

so glad I shut down my Facebook account in November.  Haven't missed it.  Have been on Instagram which is the same company ownership but was fine on my old Android and laptop.  Connected to it on iPhone and bam, ad city.  WTF, who wants to peruse a bunch of ads with images from friends and family sprinkled in.  Just no.

Seriously though, is there any chance we get our shit together and regulate this?  I know it's a massive 1st amendment issue, but fuck, it's going to let us destroy ourselves.

Quote

An account that is copying word-for-word what the U.S. president is posting on Facebook has been told to delete a controversial comment even though President Trump’s post was left untouched.

The SuspendThePres account was set up as an experiment to show how social media platforms treat high-profile public figures — specifically Trump — differently from ordinary users.

Last week a Twitter version of the account was temporarily suspended for posting the same message.

 

Quote

On Thursday it reported that Facebook had followed Twitter’s lead in forcing it to delete the controversial post, which includes the inflammatory phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” which has racist origins.

The account was warned that a repeat would trigger an automatic 24-hour suspension.

The reason Facebook gave the account holder, who has remained anonymous, was that the post “goes against Community standards on violence and incitement.”

 

 

 

 

Quote

“I am surprised by this development on Facebook more so than that on Twitter,” the account holder told VICE News. “Twitter had already made a stand. Facebook, on the other hand, has yet to make such a stand, to the best of my knowledge.”

Last week Mark Zuckerberg assured his increasingly angry employees that the company did not differentiate between ordinary users and politicians when it came to incitement to violence. 

“Our current policy is that if content is actually inciting violence, then the right mitigation is to take that content down – not let people continue seeing it behind a flag. There is no exception to this policy for politicians or newsworthiness."

However, Trump’s identical post remains untouched on the social network.

It's not like these organizations are hiding in the shadows.  Everyone has known about them for years.  Fuck you Facebook.

I've written over the years about my in-laws, but the past few months I believe they reached the no turning back point, and went full speed head.

To refresh; they have their health, own everything outright, all kids have degrees, very comfortable life.  Retirement is just around the corner, and they have millions socked away.  They are fine, from appearances sake.

But they are afraid, and angry, and scared, and whatnot, thanks to a combination of Facebook and Fox News.  So much so, in the past month or so, they have purchased 2 AR-15's. Neither of them have ever fired anything like that (FIL used to hunt and has a modest collection of guns, but I'm not sure MIL has ever shot any gun in her life), but they have put photos up on their Facebook pages of their new "toys" and they are "proud" to have them. Wife asked if they had training, to which the reply was "the place that sold them has a range and offers training".  Some assurances that was.

The recent couple in St. Louis brandishing their firearms made my wife cringe, for that's exactly the image they are putting off. Combine this with the Covid-denial they are in (take hydroxochloriquin! It's just the flu! Hospitals are lying! The media is fake!), the BLM movement (you know how those people are, they just keep asking and asking, there is no satisfying "them") and it's just too much.  My wife thinks they are on their way to becoming white supremacists, and is openly asking me if our kids should ever go back to their home.  Kids need their grandparents, and vice versa.  But...

When I met my in-laws almost 13 years ago, they were different.  Once Obama was elected, they changed, and it's been downhill since.

I think it’s anti-face mask/child trafficking panic/QAnon adjacent garbage.

The Venn diagram of those people have been pushing bullshittery about traffickers using face masks to disguise children to make it easier for them to traffic them.
