Hawley presses Zuckerberg on whistleblower complaint alleging Facebook coordination with Twitter, Google

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Tuesday pressed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on a newly revealed whistleblower complaint alleging that Facebook employees coordinate with Twitter and Google employees to make certain content moderation decisions.

Hawley said a former Facebook employee "with direct knowledge of the company’s content moderation practices" contacted his office about an "internal platform called Tasks that Facebook uses to coordinate projects, including censorship."

"The platform reflects censorship input from Google and Twitter, as well," Hawley alleged. "...Facebook censorship teams communicate with their counterparts at Twitter and Google and then enter those companies' suggestions for censorship onto the Task platform so that Facebook can follow up with them and effectively coordinate their censorship efforts."

Hawley also tweeted a screenshot of an apparent Tasks page on Tuesday afternoon.

Zuckerberg said Facebook uses the Tasks system for "people coordinating all kinds of work across the company," adding later that the company did "coordinate on and share signals on security-related topics," such as "a terrorist attack or around child exploitation imagery or around a foreign government creating an influence operation."

Facebook confirmed to FOX Business that Tasks has been used as a company-wide to-do list, and that the company has been public about working with other companies and organizations to address security concerns. Neither Twitter nor Google immediately commented.

Doxxing is not free speech, it’s harassment.

Because we all know, no human bias ever made its way into code...

The zuck seriously see’s and laughs at all of us, as we are just too dumb to know he is lying about everything, not least of which are his goals for the elimination of liberty and conservatives throughout society.

Blind Items Revealed #5

November 5, 2020

The social media kingpin lets politicians take their shot at him in public for a soundbite. But, he makes sure they know he knows every little secret they have because he has a group of people at his companies who specialize in deeper tracking and know every little last detail about your life. Nothing will ever happen to any of the companies he owns because every world leader is afraid of him because of what he knows.

Mark Zuckerberg

The big social media giants all met with obammy, and I guarantee you they have been in constant contact with bammy. They don’t need to “coordinate” with each other. They all think exactly the same way, hate the same things, love the same things, and don’t need to call each other up to ask “Hey mark, should we lock this guy’s account?”
