Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg this week told popular podcaster Joe Rogan that Facebook did limit stories on the news feed related to the New York
Yeah, the FBI had to warn Zuckerborg to NOT use Facebook to interfere with the 2020 election like he and Cambridge Analytica did in 2016 BECAUSE they knew Zuck wouldn’t suppress the story just because it was a LIE.
Zuckerberg so far has avoided facing personal legal repercussions over his involvement in various Facebook scandals.
FINALLY!
It’s about time Zuckerborg was held accountable for the Cambridge Analytical (CA) scandal which allowed trump-hired CA to ILLEGALLY HARVEST the personal data of Facebook users which they then used [predictive analytics] to target misinformation to potential voters in swing states/precincts in order to manipulate 2016 presidential election outcomes. CA also share the data and analytics with Russia/Putin who also used it to manipulate American public opinion.
Zuckerberg and Facebook were COLLABORATORS in this effort by ALLOWING data access to a third-party (CA)—something they rarely allow. When discovered, Zuckerberg immediately called it a “data breach” and claimed he had no knowledge of the activity [unlikely given how closely FB data is monitored].
The ILLEGALLY OBTAINED Facebook data and Cambridge Analytica’s use of it was CRITICAL in helping trump get enough electoral votes in 2016 to take the White House.
Google owns YouTube (two most popular sites in Jan 2022) and Facebook (now Meta) owns Instagram (the 3rd and 5th most popular sites in Jan 2022). Just think of all the personal information these two companies have collected on EVERYONE which they then SELL to advertisers and third-party vendors (companies that send you email spam to buy their products or put malware on your device).
Both Google and Facebook (Meta) are monopolistic and buy any site/platform that is potentially competitive. This needs to be stopped via federal regulation and both companies should be broken up into smaller, competitive companies. The types and amount of personal, private info these companies harvest from their users must also be regulated and limited.
Twitter WAS fourth most popular before Elmer bought it.
Zuck knows EVERYTHING that happens at Facebook and he knows it almost immediately because they are constantly analyzing their usage data and Zuck is a control freak.
If you have ever had your FB account suspended, think about how much time it took between your alleged infraction and the moment your suspension began…one minute? two? five? or immediately?
