Mainstream and Social Media 2

Remember Facebook whistle blower Frances Haugen??? She's the one who went on 60 Minutes and told bad things Facebook was up too and that congress needed to enact laws to bring things under control. Well, it turns out that she is just another far left wing fraud who is a Democrat party activist bent on shutting down free speech. It is amazing how stupid arrogant left wingers can be. They really must think real Americans are too dumb to catch on to their nefarious schemes. Anyway, this item exposes the fraud she was trying to pull off. Quote: "Facebook is taking heat on multiple fronts. A company whistleblower came forward to bring misinformation to heel. But you won’t believe the bombshell this self-righteous whistleblower helped hide. Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen has quickly become a media darling to the corporate-controlled press. Haugen appeared on 60 Minutes, and received plaudits from one Democrat-talking-point press outlet after another. She called for stiff regulation on Facebook via a new executive branch department that would enshrine a censorship regime in the hands of Big Tech and Deep State bureaucrats. But there’s more to Haugen’s story – she is a Democratic operative who has donated to Democrat politicians over 30 times since 2016 and has deep ties to the shady lawyers involved in pushing the Ukrainegate hoax. And it turns out that Haugen was a part of the special unit within Facebook that suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 – a sin of omission that helped install Joe Biden in the Oval Office.
        From Breitbart: “Far-left Facebook ‘whistleblower’ Frances Haugen, who has advised lawmakers to pass legislation that would empower the establishment media at the expense of independent creators, worked for a unit at Facebook tasked with preventing ‘misinformation’ around the 2020 election — the same group that would have been involved in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. It was called the ‘Civic Integrity Unit,’ and as Haugen herself revealed, it was established just in time for the 2020 election, and wound down as soon as Biden won. This unit, which was tasked with combating ‘disinformation’ around the election, would almost certainly have been involved in the decision to suppress the New York Post’s story.” In the run-up to the 2020 election, Facebook spokesman Andy Stone admitted on Twitter that Facebook would “slow the dissemination” of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which turned out to be true. Haugen claimed she joined Facebook to combat “disinformation,” but she didn’t seem to have any problem with the corporate press disinformation campaign that insisted Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian plot.
       The Democratic talking point was that the laptop story had “all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.” One outlet after another repeated that line verbatim, but Facebook didn’t censor or fact-check that. Haugen is working on behalf of the political establishment and legacy media. They want to reassert monopoly control over the flow of information. Free speech on platforms like Facebook and Twitter represent a large threat to the establishment.  Federal agency regulation of social media “misinformation” that Haugen suggests would help cement Big Tech monopolies by ensuring no competitors can meet the compliance demands and challenge them. That’s why Facebook’s company “whistleblower” Haugen is getting the media spotlight. Meanwhile, real Facebook whistleblowers languish in obscurity. The so-called mainstream media are not interested in whistleblowers who are exposing left-wing bias and Big Tech’s censorship regime against Conservatives."    You won’t believe the 2020 bombshell the key character in the Facebook “whistleblower” sham helped cover up - Unmuzzled News     

This is typical corrupt left wing mainstream media behavior. If a black man is responsible for some form of atrosity they are not interested because it does not fit their narrative that all black lives matter. This black man, a repeat offender, kills 6 people and the media looks the other way.  Quote: "Media Outlets Lose Interest in Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre as Death Toll Mounts.  Prominent media outlets have already lost interest in the vehicular massacre that took place on Sunday at the Waukesha Christmas parade, a Washington Free Beacon analysis has determined. Darrell Edwards Brooks Jr., 39, allegedly plowed his red Ford SUV into a crowd of parade attendees in the small Wisconsin town, injuring dozens and killing six as of Tuesday, when an eight-year-old boy succumbed to his injuries.  Wednesday's edition of the Washington Post included a brief mention of the mass-death event in the bottom left-hand corner of the front page. The New York Times similarly downplayed the significance of the "6th Death in Wisconsin Crash."     Media Outlets Lose Interest in Waukesha Christmas Parade Massacre as Death Toll Mounts (freebeacon.com)
According to Senator Blackburn so called whistleblower Frances Haugen was a member of Facebook’s civic integrity team, also suggested that social media companies manipulate their feeds in order to slow the spread of “misinformation.” Conservatives have criticized Facebook and other social media companies for unfairly moderating content in ways that censor them. By contrast, Democrats have endorsed calls for further policing “disinformation” by requiring social media companies to crack down on more speech. [...]   Facebook expects more internal documents to be released to the media this weekend. Facebook’s public relations account on Monday tweeted a thread that warned readers “a curated selection out of millions of documents can in no way be used to draw fair conclusions about us.” Facebook has attempted to undermine Haugen’s testimony, attacking her for leaking “stolen documents” and noting that she “worked for the company for less than two years, had no direct reports, [and] never attended a decision-point meeting with C-level executives.” In the last three months, Facebook has spent $5 million lobbying Congress.      Blackburn Says Facebook Whistleblower’s Plan Would Silence Conservatives – Street Wise Politics     This whistleblower scheme was a charade the whole time. Incredible the total absence of any ethics whatever these left wing fraudsters are so sorely  missing. It seems like lying, cheating and stealing is their only expertise so very many of them have. 

More evidence that Facebook is an anti-American enterprise and needs to be cut down to size and Mark Zuckerberg made to stop trying to influence us with his obvious unethical practices and hard core left wing political proclivities. Quote: "Here Are The Biggest ‘Facebook Papers’ Charges: Zuckerberg Caves To Communist Government And Lets Celebrities Break The Rules, More.  

Facebook repeatedly lets celebrities and politicians evade its rules and CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave into the Vietnam government’s demands to silence anti-government posts on the platform, according to a trove of internal documents a company whistleblower provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission that are now forming the basis for an ongoing “Facebook Papers” series of exposes running in a number of major news organizations.  Facebook repeatedly lets celebrities and politicians evade its rules and CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave into the Vietnam government’s demands to silence anti-government posts on the platform, according to a trove of internal documents a company whistleblower provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission that are now forming the basis for an ongoing “Facebook Papers” series of exposes running in a number of major news organizations. Key Facts. 



Despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg telling employees to have “unimpeachable neutrality,” the Financial Times reports executives including Zuckerberg routinely “interfered” to let celebrities and politicians skirt the platform’s rules despite employees’ protestations, and the CEO allegedly personally intervened to reinstate a video that had been taken down for making false claims about abortion because Republican politicians complained (Politico reports Facebook’s lobbyists have similar influence).


Zuckerberg gave into demands from Vietnam’s communist government to censor posts by anti-government dissents, the Washington Post reports, also citing anonymous sources, removing 2,200 posts between July and December 2020 as compared with 834 the six months prior.


Apple briefly threatened to remove Facebook and Instagram from its App Store because of how its products were being used to “buy and sell” Filipina maids, outlets including CNN and the Associated Press report, and though Apple backed down after Facebook promised “crack down” on the issue, the AP reports it’s had a “limited effect” on fixing the problem—part of a broader issue the platform faces with human trafficking.


Facebook has failed to take any comprehensive action against users that have multiple accounts, despite finding such accounts are a “massive source” of the platform’s “toxic” political posts and are “purveyors of dangerous political activity,” Politico reports.


Facebook documents show the company’s market dominance, with 78% of all U.S. adults using Facebook and “nearly all U.S. teens” using Facebook-owned platforms, Politico reports, which could aid the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust lawsuit against Facebook by undercutting its claims it faces heavy competition from rival companies."     Here Are The Biggest ‘Facebook Papers’ Charges: Zuckerberg Caves To Communist Government And Lets Celebrities Break The Rules, More (forbes.com)

      There are at least 12 more key facts plus additional commentary, so read on.  Facebook is nowhere close to being what it has been touted to be. And, Mark Zuckerberg is not a good guy by any objective measure.
