Does FACEBOOK have any algorithmic policies for instantly removing a video claiming Zuckerberg/Sandberg are secret lovers and international terrorists who kidnap Swedish babies and bank their organs, blood, and stem cells in addition to cheating at golf and not paying US taxes? Somebody should try that and see if it gets taken down in 3secs or 3ns.

Why does Facebook promote the wide circulation of lies?

Why are they afraid of the truth?

Or just make a simple deepfake of Zuckerberg drunk, slurring his wordsā€¦

Advertising dollars. They would have taken that video down except that the millions of clicks mean cha-ching in the bankā€¦

You are correct to a large extent.

castor: I suppose that only the loss of this $ will deter FB from spreading such lies.

Yet I suspect that there is a deeper reason too. FB may favor some lies more than others, for partisan political reasons.

IF FB is a GOP tool, are there alternatives?

Note to Trumpkins: If Pelosi were so impaired & doddering, how is it she ends up with Little Donnieā€™s lunch money after every encounter?

She can wear Conmanā€™s ire as a badge of honor!

Well, thereā€™s been a lot of backlash at the perceived ā€˜mutingā€™ of the Right, so it could be as simple as them having something to point to as proof that they arenā€™t censoring.

What Iā€™d really like to see is them demonetize it, so there isnā€™t a financial incentive to let it run.

sounds like itā€™s time to ramp up the federal govermentā€™s revenue stream from Facebook, destroy any profitability through taxation

fuck me Zuckerberg? No fuck you, have a taste of legislative power and the power of the purse

Letā€™s put our thinking caps on here. Blackmail. Facebook management funneled US citizen data to the cyber whoevers that put PP in office. PP knows it. The cyber whoevers from Saudi Arabia, Israel and/or Russia know it. Speaker Pelosi might know a bit about it.

Zuckerberg could go to prison if he doesnā€™t continue to show loyalty to their cause. He did a little bad stuff, and now he is stuck up to his neck in a global conspiracy. ETTD

Dear Mark,

Go Cheney yourself.

Love, Nancy

The TPM comment section is the closest I get to social media. I invite you to do the same.

I donā€™t dismiss your suspicion. Is there any evidence available?

FBā€™s funding needs to be fully disclosed. And its traffic data should also be completely disclosed.

Youtube banned it ?

Fucking Youtube, platform of every rightwing crackpot in America banned it ?

And Facebook wonā€™t ?

Thatā€™s bad, man. Real bad.

Why does Twitter always get a pass?

Pelosi is obviously keeping her powder dry, before moving to serious regulations.

I doubt whether current laws permit broadcasting bullshit videos like this over the airwaves, nor could cable channels do it either, Iā€™ll bet. The same legal and/or regulatory approaches simply must be brought to bear on other types of broadcasting, including Facebook, Twitter, etc., or itā€™s byebye democracy.

Zuckerberg and Sanders fear this sort of regulation, but if they were truly responsible, theyā€™d run to it.

And Rudy said Speaker Pelosi looked ā€œimpairedā€. I guess the former mayor hasnā€™t checked a looking glass lately, or watched Fox when his non-paying, for-free client was expounding at length about ANYTHING.

Sorry. There are people I communicate with on FB that donā€™t do FB.

If there was a progressive alternative to FB, Iā€™d consider it. If I chose it, Iā€™d promote it to my FB pals. Iā€™d still post DAILY on FB with a message like this: ā€œI no longer use FB. Join me instead at xxxxxxx if you wish to have contact with me.ā€.
