In a blog post, Facebook said it was acting against 30,000 fake accounts in France. It said its priority was to remove suspect accounts with high volumes of posting activity and the biggest audiences.

Yeah, the best way to spot fake news is to look for the most comments and accounts with the most views/audiences. WTF? Oy vey!

I hate everything about Facebook. It was barely tolerable before they went so political.

FlakeBook >> FraudBook

Anything that is “good” there is more than offset by their evil acts.

The intent was political from the start.

That and information gathering.

I’d like to see some “Freedom of Virtual Spaces” law - one which declares that if you create a free and public space (such as FB) that it must adhere to the same laws as any other physical public space. Therefore, all free speech laws apply; the right to say what you want, freely assemble, freedom of religion, etc.

If a business doesn’t like it then they need to charge some fee to make the space private and controllable, as people will be choosing to enter into a contract.

Facebook:

“U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that the Russian government interfered with the U.S. election last year in order to help Donald Trump win the presidency.”

Absolute Bullshit.

Facebook, Google are evil and traitorous enterprises and should be investigated and dismantled. They’re an affront to individual liberty.

Nobody on the left finds anything wrong with this....and they cannot see the irony of calling the right fascist when they are out beating up people expressing different opinions than themselves and barring their speech on the internet.

The left has become exceedingly scary.

And good old Google: no mention of Easter on Sunday, but today on their home page they memorialize some 98 year old African woman’s birthday.
It’s like living in Occupied France ....

Elections were won and lost before Facebook. I suspect the banning of 30,000 online accounts will make some interested parties work harder in other areas.

Oy and that image! The faces of evil past, present and future. /o\

I’ve never had a Facebook account, nor would I ever want one. I don’t belong to Twitter either.

Donald Trump used Twitter to get himself elected President. Today, President Trump uses Twitter to get his message directly to the American people, bypassing the opposition MSM filters.

Please excuse the long post, but many have had the same thoughts and feelings. We must think long term.
Psalm 73 (NIV) - select verses for brevity

2
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
3
For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.
5
They are free from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6
Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.

16
When I tried to understand all this,
it troubled me deeply
17
till I entered the sanctuary of God;
then I understood their final destiny.
18
Surely you place them on slippery ground;
you cast them down to ruin.
19
How suddenly are they destroyed,
completely swept away by terrors!
20
They are like a dream when one awakes;
when you arise, Lord,
you will despise them as fantasies.

I could not get them to suspend ONE clearly fake account that was being used by an identity thief in the UK.

Mark Zuckerberg is human trash.
