Facebook is reportedly meeting with multiple other Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe Friday to discuss how to prevent the spread of “misinformation” across their platforms ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Business Insider reports that Silicon Valley tech giants including Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, and Snap will be holding a meeting at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco Friday to discuss the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. According to emails obtained by BuzzFeed News, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher invited 12 representatives from the companies to the meeting.

“As I’ve mentioned to several of you over the last few weeks, we have been looking to schedule a follow-on discussion to our industry conversation about information operations, election protection, and the work we are all doing to tackle these challenges,” wrote Gleicher.

The meeting will be broken up into three parts according to Gleicher. Each company will present the efforts they have made so far in combating misinformation on their platform, then it will discuss the issues that its platform faces in fighting misinformation, and finally, the group will decide whether a meeting of each Silicon Valley tech firm should take place on a regular basis.

If collusion is a crime, the tech giants are committing mass treason on behalf of the Democrat party.

Hey Facebook and Twitter, HOW ABOUT YOU PUT YOUR CENSORSHIP POLICIES UP FOR AN UP OR DOWN VOTE WITH YOUR SHAREHOLDERS?

Shareholders have no say in censorship decisions other than to sell their stock if they don't agree?

Did you hear the tech guy on Tucker the other night say there are ways to take our vote and change it... change as many as needed... he said there was no way to stop it yet.. they’re working on it. And they are thinking, “russia”?

When the left cannot win the arguments they silence their opposition. Our campaign should revolve around freedom, liberty, truth and responsibility, and how they make all we have possible. We should condem the left for its enslavement of man. How they allow no freedom of thought, of speech, or action. How they are totalitarian in their methods. How they hate the Constitution and actively work to subvert it and destroy the freedom it provides. Damn it a child could see how the beat these bozos. Perhaps the Republicans don’t know how to defend freedom. Perhaps they don’t care. More likely they really don’t want freedom for us anymore. They would rather be in charge and have us as their slaves.

So they’re admitting to collusion and narrative control.

I think every evil entity on the planet bought a piece of Clinton during the election including China, Russia and Saudi Arabia but I think the biggest collusion to throw the election was by Silicon Valley.

Nothing to see here.

Just another UNcrime not being committed by social media algorithms.
