Stories are circulating madly with the title “Facebook and American Journal of Medicine Admit Their Stand on HCQ was Wrong.” I’m not sure that’s exactly true. AJM published research in January, and Facebook got its hand slapped for pulling down one video, but I think the real story is about Donald Trump.
If you missed the memo, GraniteGrok is mothballing its Facebook Group on March 1st. The Grok Page will continue for a while longer but not much. As bad as things are now, Facebook has announced that it will begin filtering even more political content out of our news feeds.
In the funniest story of the week AOC is blaming Mark Zuckerberg for rioting in D.C. That’s right AOC says, “He is part of the problem’. That brings a smile to my lips.
Facebook has been flagging news about the “return” of Parler as false. It is fair to say that Parler is not back the way it was before Amazon pulled the plug (lawsuits underway for breach of contract). But if you go to Parler.com, there is a Parler page with a message.
Yes, Virginia, there are privately-owned companies that can “do what they want.” And the word on Wall Street is that more than a few shareholders invested in Facebook and Twitter are not pleased that some people did something that damaged the value of their investments.
I can’t believe that I’m writing this here in the United States of America. Clearly, communication between all the 75,000,000 or so individuals who supported Donald Trump’s re-election is under attack.
Is turnabout fair play? Facebook, Twitter, and others have been de-platforming users so how about an ISP de-platforming Facebook and Twitter from their Internet Service?
Facebook sucks. They use word and image search defaults that erroneously flag status updates as false or misleading. You then get dinged for their incompetence. Take The Lord’s Prayer. If you post it, Facebook flags it as false information. If you check ‘See Why,’ it tells you Facebook is not doing what it just did.
So we’re seeing a purge by the Progressively based Big Tech of Conservatives from their platforms. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram, Spotify, Itsy, Stripe, Pinterest, and a ton more. They’ve joined in as “the muscle” of the Democrat Party.
I refuse to give my eyeballs or my content to Facebook any more. Why should I be “sold” to advertisers so that a Company that hates me and folks like me can profit from me? End of day, my FB account will be closed and I’ll be moving to where my speech is valued …
