InfoWars Ban: CNN, Democrats Successfully Lobby Big Tech to Censor Their Critics | Breitbart

Posted by M. C. on August 7, 2018

It seems that YouTube has now come up with a solution: ban the channels that Rep. Deutch objects to.

Scoundrel Alex Jones deserves more respect than any other organization mentioned below. At least he tells you there is a war on the truth.

Big tech’s coordinated purge of InfoWars — which was hit by bans from Apple, Facebook, Spotify and YouTube in rapid succession — did not occur in a vacuum. On this issue, Silicon Valley bowed to CNN journalists and Democrat politicians who ceaselessly lobbied for the site to be censored.

It’s a sign of how the concentration of power in America has shifted from big government to big tech that politicians are now lobbying tech companies rather than the other way round, but that’s exactly what happened over the course of the past few months, as Democrats applied relentless pressure on Facebook and other Silicon Valley giants to censor InfoWars.

Chief among them was Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL), who demanded that a Facebook representative “explain” their decision not to ban InfoWars at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on social media censorship last month. Calling Jones as “well-known conspiracy theorist” whose “brand is bullying,” Deutch also demanded Google’s representative explain how many strikes it would take for a channel on Google-owned YouTube to be deleted… Read the rest of this entry »

Facebook eyes user banking data

Posted by M. C. on August 6, 2018

…doesn’t “use purchase data from banks or credit card companies for ads.”

Well, maybe not now, maybe, but this indicates effort in that direction.

And you continue to spew your personal private information over Facebook because…? You are making it too easy for Mark Soros Zuckerberg.

https://www.axios.com/facebook-bank-data-privacy-1533569061-7fb8bc34-7351-4f3e-a2a2-2f9af61c8930.html

Facebook has had conversations with large American banks about getting access to their customers’ data for new features, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Why it matters: Facebook’s recent privacy controversies may collide with its attempts to keep users engaged, and the Journal reported that one of the banks had exited conversations with the company over privacy questions. A Facebook spokesperson told the newspaper that it doesn’t “use purchase data from banks or credit card companies for ads.”

Be seeing you

Yah, MORE! That’s what I want, MORE!

The Anti-Social Network – LewRockwell

The Anti-Social Network

By 

“I thought we were gonna get television. The truth is… television is gonna get us.”
—Dick Goodwin, Quiz Show

When Mark Zuckerberg went to Capitol Hill earlier in the year I knew Facebook was in serious trouble.

Ostensibly, he was there to apologize to us about how Facebook used customer data so cavalierly.

But, really he was there to explain how everything had gone so wrong.

Facebook was designed to be the enforcer of social norms pushed by the political and corporate establishment.

It was built with Wall Street’s decade-long access to cost-free money to invest in the technologies to create a voluntary layer of social control… Read the rest of this entry »

Facebook Admits It Blocked Republican Candidate’s Pro-Second Amendment Ad

Posted by M. C. on July 26, 2018

Could this kind of stuff be why Facebook stock is tanking?

I have trouble believing Facebook sheeple care that much. Maybe stockholders are different.

On Tuesday the Tampa Bay Times reported that Caldwell’s ad had been blocked on Facebook, which included blocking news that the NRA had endorsed Caldwell for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by M. C. on June 8, 2018

Lying liars and their lying friends.

by Nate Church

Tensions between the masters of the universe at Facebook and United States lawmakers continue to mount, as the companyconfirms that it actually did share user data with Chinese phone manufacturer Huawei.

Sens. John Thune (R-SD) and Bill Nelson (D-FL), the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee, sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, demanding answers after the revelation that Facebook had farmed out its extensive user data to over 60 different phone manufacturers. Now, the company has responded. Read the rest of this entry »

Your Phone Is Listening and it’s Not Paranoia

Posted by M. C. on June 7, 2018

VICE is playing this down, strange. The fact is you ARE be eavesdropped.

Because unless you’re a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers.

Does this sentence make sense to you? That aside your information goes to advertisers through Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. The point should be what is being done with your info that we aren’t told about.  There is an agenda.

Sam Nichols

A couple years ago, something strange happened. A friend and I were sitting at a bar, iPhones in pockets, discussing our recent trips in Japan and how we’d like to go back. The very next day, we both received pop-up ads on Facebook about cheap return flights to Tokyo. It seemed like just a spooky coincidence, but then everyone seems to have a story about their smartphone listening to them. So is this just paranoia, or are our smartphones actually listening?

Big Brother: Police Raid Home Of Man Who Posted Pictures Of His Mushroom Dinner On Facebook

Posted by M. C. on May 18, 2018

Cops desperate for a bust and to kick some ass. Truly pathetic. That is why you should never bring police into your life unless there is absolutely no other choice.

1984 is turning out to be a very long year.

by Tyler Durden

On May 11, a man named John Garrison posted a public photo on Facebook showing morel mushrooms he had gathered while foraging with his girlfriend Hope Deery, and wrote of his plans to “sautee them with brown sugar and cinnamon and see how that turns out.”

Garrison went on to claim that his original Facebook post about morel mushrooms, which are a legal and sought-after delicacy, led to a visit to his home hours later from law enforcement apparently investigating possible use of psychedelic mushrooms commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms.”… Read the rest of this entry »

Facebook Partners with Globalist Atlantic Council to Interfere in Elections Around the World

Posted by M. C. on May 18, 2018

This is the group that Facebook will rely on as it pokes its nose into elections around the world. What could possibly go wrong?

The right way, the wrong way, the army Facebook way.

The CIA Zuck knows what is truth and woe to those that disagree. And they know who disagrees.

Facebook has partnered with the Atlantic Council, whosemembers include arch-globalists like Henry Kissinger and Dina Powell, to “protect free and fair elections around the world.”

Facebook announced earlier today that the Atlantic Council will provide it with “real-time insights and updates on emerging threats and disinformation campaigns from around the world.”

In other words, Facebook will trust a globalist think-tank to distinguish “disinformation” from the spin and sloganeering that characterize virtually all democratic elections.

To cite just one example, Read the rest of this entry »
