According to The Hill, “The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Thursday filed an amended complaint in its antitrust case against Facebook after an initial courtroom setback earlier this summer. The new lawsuit includes pages of additional evidence and analysis while making the same central argument that Facebook’s maintained a monopoly on ‘personal social networking’ by gobbling up potential competitors and enforcing unfair agreements.” Good! The federal government should either break up Facebook into a hundred small companies or regulate it out of business. And there is more from CNN, “Facebook on Wednesday announced that it had taken action against the so-called ‘disinformation dozen,’ one month after the White House singled out the twelve people and argued that they were responsible for a majority of coronavirus misinformation. … The ‘disinformation dozen’ was initially identified in March by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate which called on Facebook (FB) to shut down pages operated by those people.” Wow! Only a few months late and Lord knows how much damage has been done in the meantime, not to mention Facebook itself should have recognized this dirty dozen and taken action instead of being shamed into doing so. And they still have not done enough. Oh, but wait there is more. From The Hill, “Facebook blocked the account of a man suspected of making a bomb threat near the Capitol on Thursday, after he apparently livestreamed on the platform from his vehicle at the scene. A Facebook spokesperson said that the company removed the video from the platform after it was found to violate Facebook’s dangerous organization policies.” Only on Facebook can a would-be domestic terrorist broadcast his intentions in real time.
If one wants to better understand American stupidity and the rise of domestic terrorism, then look no further than Facebook! Once upon a time, Facebook was a place to stalk exes and post pictures of pets — usually old people’s cats. Now, it clearly has become the go-to site for “news” and a reservoir of general stupidity, not to mention that the social media platform has aided and abetted the 1/6 insurrectionists and other domestic terrorists. In short, Facebook is the enemy of the state and should be treated as such. Facebook is the dangerous organization against which they claim to be policing. Welcome to stupid America — it’s all Facebook country in these here parts!
