What goes around comes around. How dare someone use their MO against them.

But if the MSM doesn’t report it, only conservatives will know about it so it doesn’t matter.

So, Zuck, how does it feel, being at the receiving end, you miserable prick?

This is being run by Bryson Gillette, a PR firm run by Obama alums.

None of this is on the up and up, it’s not fully clear exactly what they’re after.

This is all starting to sound like a big con. The first whistleblower actually wanted MORE censorship from Zuck, and I bet this one will say that they didn’t spend enough money buying the last election or they allow too many conservative pages, or they haven’t pointed out SloJo’s string of successes strongly enough.

It is indeed tricky to understand what is going on here with Facebook. We know Facebook is an incredibly ‘woke’ organization and would they pursue a campaign like this, when they really don’t need to? Heck, they can ban the President of the United States with nary the bat of an eyelash. We know they shadow ban accounts until they can fully ban them based on some vague TOS community guidelines.

My account was hacked a little over a month ago and porn posted overnight. The algorithm caught it and shut it down. Yay, right? Wrong. It shutdown my personal Facebook, my business page, my groups, and my business Instagram! Everything brought to a screeching halt. And there is no one to help you from Facebook customer service, because it doesn’t exist. You cannot pick up the phone and call someone, there’s no one to email either. The most frustrating part? Facebook sent emails acknowledging the hack asking to change me to change my password, but gee...batman I was in bed asleep when all this was happening.

Facebook just yesterday finally refunded my advertising fees as they ran my advertisement even after shutting my accounts down. So when people say, ‘you can’t complain because it is a free platform’ actually ...no it isn’t. Someone is paying for it to exist and it comes from their customers who are the advertisers/businesses. Being shutdown/banned/jailed over a hacked account and taking weeks to resolve causes great harm to the small business owner. Lost revenues to start with, lost SEO placement in search engines, lost social credit in potential customer minds. Especially in the case of a business who has used Facebook without incident or violation for over 10 years.

Lucky for me I did maintain an email list of clients and members to my business pages. It will take some time to reset things, but we are in the process of moving everything over to Mighty Networks as a private enterprise. No data tracking, no advertisements, no trolls, no big tech spyware.

The biggest thing I am missing from Facebook it I was a very active member of a professional group. That is lost. But as I keep asking God for wisdom to deal with this change, I know there is going to be another door that opens to something better.

So, while you view the whistleblower as a set-up to government censorship, I actually do not quite see it that way. What I do see it as...an interesting factoid that the whistleblower is complaining that Facebook isn’t ‘woke’ enough! Now, that is mind-blowing. Woke isn’t woke enough for these activist trained youngsters.

Lastly, there is still a lingering legal matter hanging out there for Facebook.

Sorry this ping is a day late. This is the Farcebook Is Evil ping list.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.
