Facebook is down! Massive outage

[Smokin Joe]

ZERO impact on my life. None. 

I'd post stuff and they'd "factcheck" it, --about like a body check in Hockey.

Even just links to medical journals (title, but no commentary) got that treatment--especially if the research results did not suck up to the great COVID narrative.   

So I checked out who the fackchekkers were, and yup, all lefties.

I kept posting stuff there just to make their algorithms twitch. 

But I'm on my second strike there over that.

One more and I'll get the boot, so I'm saving it for something really good.

On the plus side reports coming in say with all of FB's social media product being down, Productivity went up yesterday from 11 am till 5 pm. However the "Karens" were so distressed they took up day drinking.

Same here! But I must admit that knowing it gives me immense pleasure.

What will be interesting is the reaction of millions of kids, teens, tweens, and twenty somethings who will sit around a table and 'converse' with their phones and never say a word, and stay glued to the danged thing all day.

Facebook isn't so much of a "kids" thing anymore.  It's more for middle-aged "Karens" now.

Now why didn't I think of that.

Yup,and there is the Patron Saint of "Social Media Managers".

I was doing the same with the same results until one morning, about a year ago now, an e-mail from FB appeared in my inbox informing me that my account had been deleted for repeated violations of their posting policies.  And that was that.

BREAKING: New reports reveal that the "Facebook Whistleblower" is an AOC donor, working with Jen Psaki's old PR firm AND the lawyers who represented the Ukraine "whistleblower" that led to the failed Trump impeachment.

In other words, a Democrat operative.

The “Facebook Whistleblower” is one of the most transparent political ploys we’ve seen in a long time. She’s a Democrat operative whose primary beef with Facebook is that they dont censor right wing content enough. She hasnt revealed any actual secrets about the company. A farce.

‘Kids Are Killing Themselves!’: Whoopi Goldberg Cheers Facebook Outage

Whoopi Goldberg said Tuesday that she was “thrilled” to see Facebook face a lengthy outage, arguing that executives needed to “pay attention” to what their product did to children.

Goldberg and her cohosts on ABC’s “The View” discussed the Facebook outage — which also affected Instagram and WhatsApp — and the fact that Facebook was under fire on Capitol Hill for allegedly putting profits over people..................

I'm getting really tired of this faux whistleblower making the rounds, getting her face in front of the cameras like she actually had some legitimacy.

[mountaineer]

As earlier predicted by Becker News, the Facebook “whistleblower” Frances Haugen called for more censorship during her Senate testimony on Tuesday.

“I am here today because I believe that Facebook’s products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy,” she said in opening remarks. “The company’s leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer but won’t make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people. Congressional action is needed. They won’t solve this crisis without your help.” ...

Of course, Haugen called for action “now” and implored Congress to regulate political speech online, although this would be a flagrant violation of the First Amendment. ...

Haugen’s connections to the Democratic Party establishment run deep. Haugen, the National Pulse recently reported, gave at least 36 donations to left-wing candidates and causes.

She also has connections to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s former PR firm Bryson Gillette, where Psaki worked as a senior adviser until September 2020. The Center for Humane Technology, a group pushing for Facebook to more tightly regulate political content, was one of Psaki’s clients, according to ethics filings obtained by The Daily Wire. ...

The plot thickens. The Facebook “whistleblower” who is not actually a “whistleblower” is tied through an advocacy group to the Trump impeachment “whistleblower” who was not actually a “whistleblower.” The latter individual’s identity, according to a recent book, is self-admittedly Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. ...

Yeah, whatever. And the media are lapping this up.

I think it looks like those who want to be the arbiters of Narrative Control have a Special Forces branch...

This is no complaint, it's a set up so they can spike the opposition.

I got sick of it a couple years ago and just walked off... You already know how sick I am of waggin tongues... Well Faceboot is the epitome of all that.

No impact on me anymore. No f**** given. But it is a giggle that someone tried to cancel them for a change.

Financial Records Show Facebook ‘Whistleblower’ Is Less A Concerned Employee And More A Radical Democrat Activist
October 6, 2021 By Kylee Zempel

Frances Haugen, the so-called Facebook whistleblower who leaked internal documents to the Wall Street Journal lamenting that the Big Tech company wasn’t censoring enough content, is a confirmed left-wing activist and partisan operative, Federal Election Commission records show.

A simple search reveals that Haugen, who previously worked for other tech giants Google and Pinterest, has made more than 40 donations to Democrats totaling more than $2,000 since 2015. She has frequently contributed to ActBlue and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and in January 2020, she gave money to the congressional campaign of radical Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, plus another contribution to AOC’s “Courage to Change” political action committee, according to The Daily Wire. ...

Anytime someone who works for an outfit that already censors the living sh*t out of content, calls for MORE censorship, for whatever reason, it's a set-up.
