Facebook, Instagram and all other social media platforms feed to PRISM. They are data collection tools and early warning systems.
Congress need to tear Instagram and Facebook apart.
Hey @facebook and @instagram you cunts just got my accounts put in jail for a personal opinion. People are catching on to you bitches.
Everyone who's been on the internet knows that Instagram is toxic and harms your body image. It's hilarious that their representative is still trying to deny this with a straight face.
FB is an arm of the DNC weaponized to silence their opposition. Why doesn't ABC report on the list of off limit subjects the white house gave them. Telling them to ban anyone that talks about things like Hunter's laptop or Biden's frame of mind?

I love how everyone is concerned about misinformation. but only when it comes to right wing misinformation and have 0 issue with any bullshit posted by left wing figures. Actually social media platforms promote it.
Love how the tables have turned on these Social Media Pro Dem activist platforms, ha! The crazy Trump obsessed Dems finally turned on them too!
A whole lotta karens😂
This piece o excrement wants to silence anyone who disagrees with the corrupt democrats
The allure of social media is why the fake life of Gabby Petito and Laundrie ended in death(s).
Oh the irony 🤯
If Facebook is in trouble for spreading disinformation and inciting violence how about fox news?
Social media doesn’t spread anything. People spread things.
Is ok CCp is won 🏆
Facebook is so gone..instagram is so full of scammers. I’d shut down mine a 5 month ago. That’s better thing to do, having a better quality life.
Speaking of misinformation. Before anyone gets angry and talks about hate speech, read my whole comment.
In today's society, there are Straight people like myself, and there are those who aren't. (Here is part of the problem, people are already getting mad about this comment)
To continue, I am straight. And I am male. We straight males sometimes get together and talk about women and interests in them. Unfortunately sometimes these conversations which can sometimes be on the crude side, can be misunderstood by women.
Women do the same when talking about men, but these conversations happen in private, which is where they should remain.
Those that are not straight, have these same types of conversations. Here is the issue, I know those that are a part of that society wish to gain acceptance by the rest of society. But the acceptance can really only go so far, as a straight guy, the interests of homosexuals do not appeal to me. (And again with the issue, calm yourselves). That statement is not hate speech, merely a statement of the fact that those types of sexual interests do not apply, nor do they appeal to me.
The people that are a part of that society are sometimes obvious, and other times wish to keep their lifestyles to themselves. So they have a code of language that applies to them, the code is supposed to allow them to be discrete, and help them figure out who is a part of their society.
Straight people do not use their code, but unfortunately, the code they use is being forced upon the straight people. Acceptance is one thing, but forcing others is wrong. And those jokes, which are a normal part of their every days lives, do not appeal to straight people, that is describing the issue lightly.
There are very sophisticated technologies in use today, many of which are automated, these technologies are meant to allow surveillance of people who seek to do Americans harm, but unfortunately, gets used in the most inappropriate way, these people are severely out of line.
The misinformation is that people fail to admit this tech exists, even though it is as plain as day to those who can understand programming language, or those who are a part of the IT industry.
I really do not appreciate getting constantly bombarded with electrical impulses that those that are a part of that society use to communicate, or flirt with each other. Especially when those impulses are directed at my genitalia, or the termination of my digestive system.
Not to mention the damage that is caused by electricuting my semen. We as a society have serious issues to get in check, as people have gone way to far in stripping away privacy protections, and then allowing people to electrocute males testicals, and probably women's ovaries as a way to communicate, that should not be taken lightly.
When I was a child, I used to disassemble electric lighters to get the piezo mechanism. I then used that mechanism to shock ants, one shock, the ant basically recovered after a few moments, two and it would limp severely, three or more would cause death. That is an ant, not semen, and not the eggs from an ovary.
These issues need to get resolved as they are highly inappropriate, offensive, and dangerous.
To be put simply, that is sexual harassment, and at base, torture. Sometimes we keep tech a secret, but when we allow systematic torture of our society for the purpose of "security", we have problems.
Nothing will come from this..Big Tech Giant like FB gives to much money to Democrats and also it’s gonna happen Facebook is going to say we’re going to change we’re gonna make changes will pay a fine that’s it nothings gonna happen stock will go down stock will go back up it is what it is
Just quit facebook and the rest! Why are so
many so freakishly insane over an optional platform that you are neither forced to nor have to use to maintain the flow of your life in all its aspects. I would venture to say these platforms are so yesterday, outdated concepts of interaction of an old immature psyche.
The kids?!?! The kids in most part have parents and educators and it is their job to teach the sound use of technology and place limits on what a child can do with their devices and there are great and effective tools for that…as well as set a wholesome example for the kids to follow. When that does not exist you can try to control anything and it wont make a difference…kids mostly learn by example. And if you are one of the grand souls that uses these tools to keep your child distracted and are revolted by social media’s influence on them…u are a hypocritical lesser human. We are starting to be an intellectually inferior society that glorifies mental feebleness and mental illness and we are being led and driven by the dumbest of them all. Each day we try to minimize personal responsibility and the true significance and impact of personal choice in life as if we can ever truly cushion every corner of our stupidity if we just make enough rules and boundaries. I don’t use social media because it’s dumb and it’s vane and the people i wish to be in touch with i am in touch with either way shattering the myth that social media is all about connection…bullcorn! I would dare say I am closer to people since i quit this crap. It’s about advertisement, sales, scams and laundering your personal stuff in the illusion of a public space aka stroking your narcissism…and more recently…political agendas and political (agenda specific) propaganda. This is like watching a crowd of deaf-blind fight each-other never realizing who they fight with or for or wether the fight even makes sense or should be happening at all. It’s that damn simple: “the tv is evil and manipulating people” lol shut the damn thing off, grab a coffee and got to the back yard or whatever else you like to enjoy…”social media is evil and ruins children”…shut the damn thing off, stop using it better yet forget about its existence altogether…it is all optional, like the choice of desert after a nutritious meal: you can have whatever your choose but you can choose to skip altogether…aaaah but that demands responsible personal choice and that is a muscle that is in a state of atrophy in the human race these days. Bloody clowns! I mean, watching in the sidelines is akin to going to the circus as a kid. There is a faint embarrassment to being a human in our society these days as the greatest species of them all is just a dumb manipulatable automatic addictive parasite it would appears that thrives on cheap stuff from china and “scandals” like this one.
These are the best places to hide cowards and trolls……because they don’t have to use their real names. They feel quite safe spreading misinformation and hatred and there are always people on these sites to believe what they say. Anyone can say they are a professional on social media because no need to share credentials with anyone. They’re hiding in plain site basically and it’s ok with the owners of these sites.
The same way ABC spreads it
Facebook need to also stop banning ppl from their account to when they haven’t posted anything that was against their community standards especially taking down family photos that is not negative at all. Smh Facebook has been going in on everyone if one person on there is sayin racial slurs they don’t block them at all if you report the comment. However if you say something g that is not negative but defending your character they will block you for 7 or more days and then warn you about restricting your account indefinitely smh
