correction George Soros is a far leftist, not a liberal in the classical sense
Hmm, who do I hate more, Fakebook or Soros?
So hard to choose.
If the NYTimes used the same writing style for Leftists that it reserves exclusively for conservatives, they would say, “ George Soros, a former Nazi in his youth,...”.
D’Souza’s Death of a Nation is an eye opener in reference to Soros the Nazi

28 Nov: Washington Times: Obama official helped prepare dire National Climate Assessment
By Valerie Richardson
A former Obama administration official with ties to a liberal advocacy group funded by Democratic megadonors George Soros and Tom Steyer helped prepare the Fourth National Climate Assessment, whose dire predictions have since been attacked as overblown.
Andrew Light, who worked on the 2015 Paris accord negotiations as a senior adviser to the U.S. Special Envoy on Climate Change under Secretary of State John F. Kerry, served as a review editor for the assessment, overseeing the pivotal final chapter that concluded under a worst-case scenario that global warming could wipe out as much as 10 percent of the U.S. economy by 2100.
Now a senior fellow at the World Resources Institute, Mr. Light also spent five years as senior fellow and director of international climate policy at the Center for American Progress, which was founded and now led by longtime Democratic insider John Podesta. The center is also financed by liberal billionaires such as Mr. Soros and Mr. Steyer…

28 Nov: Daily Caller: James Taylor: OPINION: Obama-Era Holdovers Issue Fake News Climate Report
(James Taylor is senior fellow for environment and climate policy at The Heartland Institute)
Obama-era deep-state bureaucrats have issued a dubious climate report that warns of imminent devastation from global warming. The report presents discredited assertions from environmental activist groups as “evidence” to support its findings, as well as predictions of temperature change and extreme weather events that have already been contradicted by real-world data...
The USGCRP’s steering committee and authors are composed almost entirely of Obama-era deep-state holdovers. The two lead authors for the report — prominent, controversial global warming activists Don Wuebbles and Katherine Hayhoe — were put in place by the Obama administration...
The report is saturated with discredited fake news assertions on climate science and economics. For example...READ ON

How many working at Facebook will quit once they know who Soros is and what his intentions are?...Or is this study not meant to educate employees as much as it is for building support for Soros and his mission?
Is this a “how dare you challenge The Directive” kind of thing?

Soros attacks whatever he wants to buy on the cheap. It’s pretty obvious.
I take this as a sign that Trump is winning. They are both targets now and neither one wants to be the first target

She could find herself sleeping with the fishes soon.
That is precisely why I use duckduckgo as a search engine.

PRES TRUMP: Why Isn’t DOJ Investigating Possible Chuck Schumer-Facebook collusion?
The New York Times reported:
<><> during the 2016 election cycle, Democrat Sen Chuck Schumer raised $40K from Facebook employees,
more than any other member of Congress (as per the Center for Responsive Politics).
<><> Schumer’s daughter, Alison, is a six-figure paid marketing manager in Facebook’s NY office,
<><> Sen Schumer went to bat for Facebook and protected Facebook from a Senate investigation.
Schwartz/Soros is a Nazi, Marxist...nothing less.
A tyrant right up there with Attila the Hun, just not as boisterous.
© AFP/File | Facebook early on adopted a practice of letting application makers plug into the social network for free and connect to user data to enhance the online gathering place with games, services and more
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Facebook on Wednesday said it considered charging application makers to access data at the social network. Such a move would have been a major shift away from the policy of not selling Facebook members' information, which the social network has stressed in the face of criticism alleging it is more interested in making money than protecting privacy. "To be clear, Facebook has never sold anyone's data," director of developer platforms and programs Konstantinos Papamiltiadis said in response to an AFP inquiry. "Our APIs have always been free of charge and we have never required developers to pay for using them, either directly or by buying advertising."
The Wall Street Journal reported that internal emails indicating that Facebook mulled charging companies for access to user data were referred to in a lawsuit filed against the social network in 2015 by Six4Three, creator of a failed app called "Pikinis." The application enabled users to find Facebook pictures of people in bathing suits, taking advantage of an API feature that let apps access the data of social network users as well as their friends.
The suit accuses Facebook of abusing its power over user data. Most of the documents filed in the case have been sealed by a California judge at Facebook's request. Some emails indicated Facebook employees discussed providing increased access of user information to advertisers in return for spending more money on the social network, according to the WSJ. "The documents Six4Three gathered for this baseless case are only part of the story and are presented in a way that is very misleading without additional context," Papamiltiadis said.
- Cambridge Analytica - Facebook early on adopted a practice of letting developers use APIs (application programming interfaces) to plug into the social network for free and connect to user data to enhance the online gathering place with games, services and more. Facebook went public on the stock market in early 2012, and subsequently considered ways it might be able to increase revenue, opting not to charge developers for access to the social network.
Facebook in August said it has suspended more than 400 out of thousands of applications it has investigated to determine whether people's personal information was being improperly shared. Applications were suspended "due to concerns around the developers who built them or how the information people chose to share with the app may have been used," according to a blog post.
Facebook contended that the suit by Six4Three is aimed at compelling the social network to provide the kind of access to friends' data that was taken advantage of in the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal. Facebook admitted that up to 87 million users may have had their data hijacked by Cambridge Analytica, which was working for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Facebook has modified app data sharing policies since the Cambridge Analytica scandal. "We stand by the platform changes we made in 2015 to stop a person from sharing their friends' data with developers," Papamiltiadis said. © 2018 AFP
