I have FB and enjoy several historical and selling groups, but that's about it. I think I've amassed about 100 friends over 12 years and I tire of the political stuff they post. I'm conservative, but most my conservative friends are nuts politically. I usually get on and check when I brew a fresh pot of coffee every 3 days or so. I don't have any apps like What..ever app it is. I also lie about everything about me at least some, not that it probably helps much. I do think they listen through your phone tho, cuz I can just be talking to a friend about something and next thing I know I'm getting tons of ads related to the discussion. Also, my wife was out of town and in Messenger I cut up and told her to send me some boobs, which first got me pics of Biden and Harris, but I guess cutting up sent me hers. She then told me to pick up dog food and ..bam...dog food ads everywhere. If you ever see a set on dog food bags...now ya know.

What does Facecrook have to do with your phone? It's your phone service that is selling your name.

I had access to our forum and this meant more to me, than not being able to access FB. Could this have to do with the fact that I/we inside our self somehow knew FB would come back sooner or later ? I visit FB on daily basis this to read and give a like to my Danish friends and to post some comment-I don't write my own bulletin. A weird thought. Wonder if there was people thinking on suicide, when they find out that FB was down-There are people who are very addictive to FB. Markus |

Not everyone sees it as something good or a relief. Think about it, heck, just look at how many here fell for the Russiagate conspiracy theories which inundated the daily cable and mainstream media news cycles. They swallowed it all hook line and sinker without question. Not too long ago I was still reading things about how they’re gonna get Trump, low hanging fruit, anyday now, ticktock. Guess what, all those pages of posts all that bandwidth a waste. The whole Russiagate thing was sham, debunked, a lie, a conspiracy theory half of the voters fell for. Now its time to ‘regulate’ social media in the same manner I guess. What’s most concerning is just under 2/3 of Democrats favor U.S. Government censorship of the internet in the name of fighting misinformation. Yet these same people were the ones who fell for believing in true q-anon fashion main stream media Russiagate conspiracies. Democrats and Media Do Not Want to Weaken Facebook, Just Commandeer its Power to Censor "Whistleblower" Frances Haugen is a vital media and political asset because she advances their quest for greater control over online political discourse. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/dem...do-not-want-to The social media giant hurts America and the world, this narrative maintains, by permitting misinformation to spread (presumably more so than cable outlets and mainstream newspapers do virtually every week); fostering body image neurosis in young girls through Instagram (presumably more so than fashion magazines, Hollywood and the music industry do with their glorification of young and perfectly-sculpted bodies); promoting polarizing political content in order to keep the citizenry enraged, balkanized and resentful and therefore more eager to stay engaged (presumably in contrast to corporate media outlets, which would never do such a thing); and, worst of all, by failing to sufficiently censor political content that contradicts liberal orthodoxies and diverges from decreed liberal Truth. On Tuesday, Haugen's star turn took her to Washington, where she spent the day testifying before the Senate about Facebook's dangerous refusal to censor even more content and ban even more users than they already do. There is no doubt, at least to me, that Facebook and Google are both grave menaces. Through consolidation, mergers and purchases of any potential competitors, their power far exceeds what is compatible with a healthy democracy. A bipartisan consensus has emerged on the House Antitrust Committee that these two corporate giants — along with Amazon and Apple — are all classic monopolies in violation of long-standing but rarely enforced antitrust laws. Their control over multiple huge platforms that they purchased enables them to punish and even destroy competitors, as we saw when Apple, Google and Amazon united to remove Parler from the internet forty-eight hours after leading Democrats demanded that action, right as Parler became the most-downloaded app in the country, or as Google suppresses Rumble videos in its dominant search feature as punishment for competing with Google's YouTube platform. Facebook and Twitter both suppressed reporting on the authentic documents about Joe Biden's business activities reported by The New York Post just weeks before the 2020 election. These social media giants also united to effectively remove the sitting elected President of the United States from the internet, prompting grave warnings from leaders across the democratic world about how anti-democratic their consolidated censorship power has become. But none of the swooning over this new Facebook heroine nor any of the other media assaults on Facebook have anything remotely to do with a concern over those genuine dangers. Congress has taken no steps to curb the influence of these Silicon Valley giants because Facebook and Google drown the establishment wings of both parties with enormous amounts of cash and pay well-connected lobbyists who are friends and former colleagues of key lawmakers to use their D.C. influence to block reform. With the exception of a few stalwarts, neither party's ruling wing really has any objection to this monopolistic power as long as it is exercised to advance their own interests. |
