I disabled the FaceBook app on my phone about three weeks ago, though I can still easily access on my computer. Oddly, I’ve not gone back though. I guess it’s a case of “out of sight, out of mind.”

I do access FakeBook on my PC. I do not use the FB app on my phone, it is basically spyware.

If you want to access FB on the phone just use the browser and forgo the bells and whistles of the app as well a giving FB access to everything on your phone.

On my android, facebook app is simply part of the phone. All I can do is disable it. So I did.

This article, while I want to believe it, is not really.. sorta.. true.

It’s all about how they came to the information.

Here is where I am coming from: I dropped social media. My family has not, and will not. They are completely addicted. I am about to put my foot down and simply ban it. So I started looking into this as the reason that they would actually drop it and not just pretend to drop it when Dad is around.

This information comes from a friend of a friend of a co-worker in a chinese media writer pool. The Chinese have this rating system and they are using Facebook to help enforce it.

During this process (Where of course Facebook agreed because the CCP is paying them major bank) the Chinese discovered that the switch is turned on for everyone. So when FB added the feature, they didn’t start with “Users in China” they started with “Users” and simply turned it on for those in China.

Everything else is speculation, and even that report is kinda hard to believe because it’s friend of a friend sorta sources. My friend who is at a news station has said that companies are still deciding whether they want to take it on or not because the sources are wonky.

There are articles and talk from the beginning of this year on the topic too - this isn’t new news. The idea was publically talked about, which in my experience means that privately it already exists and is being used.

Either way, if this turns out to be true, I will have enough to make my family stop this nonsense permanently. Even if you use the service to “keep up with old friends” it’s truly nonsense.

Stole his business idea

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend

Secretly sold users’ data

Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".

Married in the community proprety state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.

Requested nude photos of users to “protect them against the risk of revenge porn”.

Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data “so I can help cure diseases”.

Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for YOUR photo and you would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.

De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.

Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so “my users can check their balances on my site."

Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" and "guidedog".

Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of.

Of course almost everywhere with comments or other social media aspects has the same thing. There’s Top Reviewers and whatever everywhere. People obsess too much on stupid crap.

Surprised? I’m not. Social media is 100% committed to promoting leftist goals, which include creating classes of people. Some classes are designated “good” and others “bad.” The “good” will get special privileges, and the “bad” will be persecuted.

Seems to me this one is blowing-up in Zuckerberg’s face.

This has spread like wildfire, incredibly fast. Is not drawing a favorable response even on the Left side of the web.

The only fully unbiased way to evaluate any and all facebook posts and facebook users is by way of users using their own due diligence. Any “corporate” attempt to make those judgements WILL BE gamed into censorship within the biases of faebook’s executives and staff.

I would rather have a “dictator” that temporarily nationalized all social media outfits, fired all their boards of directors and top officials, and then wrote to bylaws into their letters of incorporation that prevented the boards of directors and management from ever again attempting to be corporate nanny-state moderators and censors over social media content. Then the companies could be put back on the free market under new management.

Am I truly in favor of dictators? No. But really, with nearly all social media run by one same-similar politically biased set of hands with their own group-think on what should and should not be “acceptable” social media content, they do comprise a near dictatorship on that issue anyway. Do you have to fight fire with fire? Sometimes.
