Facebook yanks page of 12-year-old conservative who said Obama doesn't love U.S.

On Friday, C.J. Pearson, a 12-year-old conservative from Georgia who posted a viral video supporting Rudy Giuliani, discovered that his personal Facebook page was locked. In an exclusive interview with Examiner.com on Saturday, Pearson said he received a message from someone about 6 a.m. Friday. That's when he learned his account and page had been locked for "suspicious activity."

He jumped through all of Facebook's hoops, but wasn't able to recover his account. So he created a new profile to take its place. His public page was not affected, he said, however, he can no longer administer the page. Fortunately, he said, a friend is helping post links to that page.

The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, the vast store of facts that Google has pulled off the internet. Facts the web unanimously agrees on are considered a reasonable proxy for truth. Web pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings.

That's from this NewScientist article.

I've noticed of late that for a query which appears to have a definite answer, Google will put an answer box at the top of the results. E.g., search for Israel Christian population or density of osmium or New York to Moscow flight time and see what comes up.

Look for search engine spammers to start sprinkling their garbage with odd concrete facts.

If they start doing what that article suggests, they should add search tools to (a) turn it off and (b) invert it, i.e., rank the least truthy pages higher.

And you won’t. The problems that some people run into is simply because they violate stated Facebook Policy ... the big problem being that you are not a real person, meaning you have given faked information. That’s where a lot of posters get nailed.

A normal person, following the rules ... won’t have a problem ... with family and friends, which is what it’s meant for primarily.

They have in the past whined when obvious trolls got banned.
They also outright agreed with a troll that FR was “on the wrong side of history” on homosexual marriage.
It was an opus/zot thread that one was on.
Melas thread, actually.
So yes, I know they are a troll.
But they amuse me in much the same way liberal Larry and murrymom did.

Facebook caves in to government "phone calls", Free Republic, on the other hand doesn't.

If you think I'm wrong, then you are naïve.

On Free Republic you get named a TROLL by another poster, most frequently, when you disagree with their opinion ... LOL ...

Or you disagree with Conservative principles.
Or you push RINOs like Mitt Romney.

Nope, I get the word out in front of a lot of people on facebook.

You can't always choose your battleground, got to take the fight where the enemy is.

If you're worried about NSA you're already licked, may as well go watch TV.

So I guess you think the Facebook founder and Jim Robinson are of the same political persuasion?

Perhaps your imagination is underactive.

They negated their post 6 with the admission in post 57.
Yet they want to continue trying to compare apples and oranges.

I have a graphic that FB banned for gratuitous violence.

Interesting.

I note that your image is hosted at Imgur (http://i.imgur.com/2HbKB9g.jpg).

A few days ago, I happened to notice that Imgur images were coming up as broken-picture icons. This behavior persisted for a couple of days or so. The HTTP status was 403 Forbidden. However, if I copied the image's URL and pasted it into the location bar, the image would come up fine. That suggested that Imgur was checking the Referer header and barfing when it found FR. No Referer header is sent when you type in the URL directly.

Apparently, it's against Imgur's terms of service to hotlink to a pornographic website.

Likely hypothesis: some 'Rat complained we were posting pr0n, and Imgur banned us until they got around to investigating.

Most all Internet forums and boards and sites where you comment have the same deletion protocol ... even when the subject areas are radically different.

The deletion protocol is that if you violate the policies, you get deleted ... simple, eh? ... :-) ...
