Facebook Executive Confesses To Whistleblower That “State Sponsored Disinformation” Was Allowed On Platform (As Long As It Didn’t Help Republicans, Of Course)

A Facebook executive is now on record telling a whistleblower that “state-sponsored” (government-funded) disinformation meant that she had job security. Facebook allowed authoritarian governments (including the United States) to use the platform to generate fake support for their regimes for months despite warnings from employees about the disinformation campaigns.

An investigation from The Guardian revealed this week that Facebook has helped keep governments intact, and the slavery of humanity ongoing. According to a report by Business Insider, a loophole in Facebook’s policies allowed government officials around the world to create unlimited amounts of fake “pages” which, unlike user profiles, don’t have to correspond to an actual person — but could still like, comment on, react to, and share content.

Facebook is evil. No decent person should be using it for any reason whatsoever.

The globalists have been in control of big tech for several years. People who don’t realize that are just dumb.

“Time” is for people who can’t think. “People” is for people who can’t read.

FB is for people who can’t do either!!

Thanks for the ping gundog.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.

This is the Farcebook Is Evil ping list.

I have been tracing Fake News back into USA history.
The earliest involvement I have found has been has been with Hemmingway and his coverage of the Spanish revolution.

He knew the Communists from Russia were backing the “Loyalists” and had frequent contact with them. He refused to report or tell anyone but instead continued to promote the “Fascist” story and even to this day, it is covered up by history.

I’m investigating the beginnings of WW1 as it too has all the feeling of a media “story” to manipulate the people.

Now we know for sure that facebook is a democratic propaganda tool. Facebook as well as Twitter are left wing and liberal. You can take it from here.

“I have been tracing Fake News back into USA history.

Have you written it up? That history could be very valuable.

My youngest has a HS teacher who insists that there wasn’t any fake news in the time of Nixon.
