Facebook Can't Be Fixed

[Peter Lemkin]

Ya my comment "offended community standards".

:tampfeet::

America is the exceptional shining light on the hilltop says Facebook's office of 'community standards'.....next time you will be punished more harshly for thinking - nay daring to speak - the Truth!

Facebook sold out to the NSA very early [as Snowden documented], everything one puts into it [along with its powerful algorithms to know who you know, what you like, what you buy, what you watch and listen to, who you talk to and associate with, etc....everything about you, including your photo, finger print in many cases, address, official documents on you, thoughts ranked by computer, politics rated by computer et al. are stored and USED by a variety of advertisers, political manipulators, intelligence agencies, police agencies, Big Brother and his sister, THEM. It is Orwellian. Now their new algorithms steer people away from leftie thinking and questioning the 'system' to rightward thinking and accepting the system as the best 'of all possible worlds'. Along with Google and all the rest of the 1984 social media it is a frightening scene. I remember very well in eighth-grade English-special-class a discussion on if Brave New World and 1984's distopian realities could happen in our lifetimes. I argued yes and the answer WAS yes. While not yet to that extent, we are well on that path and I see few fighting against it.

A good programmer could easily build a progressive 'facebook' that did not suck up data, spy on its users, and was encrypted. However, NSA and others now have the capability to see into most encryption [not all] and monitor all [ALL] electronic traffic - and if they can't break the encryption now, they still store it and they know who is on each end of the encrypted conversations - and surely those names go on a 'black list'.

I know many operate under the: 1] I have nothing to hide - or 2] they already know what I think and anyway I don't care that they know what I think - 3] they already know all about me, so it is too late to care or back out now rubrics.

Dawn's incident is the canary in the coal mine.....Snowden, Binney and others were the first sound of the Sirens - and that our 'boat is too near their island'.

Something has to be done or we'll have a FULL-BLOWN Police state in very short order. What we have today, IMO, is police state lite - but it can be thrown into full on mode with the literal flip of a switch......
