Exclusive: Facebook’s Process to Label You a ‘Hate Agent’ Revealed
Breitbart ^ | 13 June 2019 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 06/13/2019 7:23:53 PM PDT by KC_Lion

Facebook monitors the offline behavior of its users to determine if they should be categorized as a “Hate Agent,” according to a document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a source within the social media giant. The document, titled “Hate Agent Policy Review” outlines a series of “signals” that Facebook uses to determine if someone ought to be categorized as a “hate agent” and banned from the platform.

Those signals include a wide range of on- and off-platform behavior. If you praise the wrong individual, interview them, or appear at events alongside them, Facebook may categorize you as a “hate agent.”

Facebook may also categorize you as a hate agent if you self-identify with or advocate for a “Designated Hateful Ideology,” if you associate with a “Designated Hate Entity” (one of the examples cited by Facebook as a “hate entity” includes Islam critic Tommy Robinson), or if you have “tattoos of hate symbols or hate slogans.”

....

The document also says Facebook will categorize you as a hate agent for “statements made in private but later made public.” Of course, Facebook holds vast amounts of information on what you say in public and in private — and as we saw with the Daily Beast doxing story, the platform will publicize private information on their users to assist the media in hitjobs on regular American citizens.

....

The Benjamin addition reveals that Facebook may categorize you as a hate agent merely for speaking neutrally about individuals and organizations that the social network considers hateful. In the document, Facebook tags Benjamin with a “hate agent” signal for “neutral representation of John Kinsman, member of Proud Boys” on October 21 last year.

if you visit a site with google ads, they will track you. Discovered this when i ordered a pizza online and then the site i was visiting was plastered with pizza ads from the same business I had ordered from.

So I started shopping for bikinis and lingerie. Much more pleasant background.

It is time for everyone to go back to the nineties and ditch their leftist tracking device...

Oh NO! I remember it is SOOOOO convenient....

I'll have to try that trick. ;-)

But I cant figure out why I've been getting popup ads for sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuffs).

My blood pressure's *fine*.

(Well, as long as I don't watch CNN...)

FB is the enforcer of the Thought Police, and as such is illegal and must be dissolved by the Justice Department.

It’s why I run palemoon and noscript or brave and script safe and block most of the google trackers (along with many others)

I can also vouch for DDG. I get at least 98% of what I need with them. Sometimes on a tough search I open a private window and try other engines but most of them time they do no better than DDG.

As for FB, I stopped as soon as I started. I created an account and without giving them much more than my name and email address, it presented me a list of potential “friends”. Hundreds of them. People whom I had not even thought of in years. I was totally creeped out by this, and deleted the account immediately.

Another thing to look at is switching to the Brave browser. Firefox is compromised. They preach privacy, but they sure want you to have an account with them and log in while you are doing your stuff. I wonder who is on the other end of that pipe sucking up your data.

Also what got me spooked about FB is that they put up people I work with in the “people you may know”, and I had never friended them on FB.

I do wonder how FB tracks offline behavior.

One way that they know is from your address book. They always try to get you to let them suck up your address book. They can infer a lot of information from that.

The Leftists would love for it to be true that those who support, admire, and respect President Trump are knuckle-dragging troglodytes. When the TRUTH that this is not so threatens their delusions, they react with the fury of all psychotics whose cherished paradigms are threatened by TRUTH.

I’m clearly a hate agent. And so is my cat, who spends a lot of time. posting on Twitter. She wants to turn the entire country over to kitties and not let any more mice in.

How subversive is that?

I'm just now finding this article on other websites and saw that it was discussed here on FR.

Did you go to a different social website?
