Senate Repubs Take Big Tech CEO's to the Woodshed

The Senate finally held their Big Tech hearing where several republicans took CEO's Jack Dorsey (Twitter), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) to the woodshed over their blatant censorship of conservatives, which are also acts of election interference. The most fiery encounter occurred between Dorsey and Sen Cruz... Twitter's attorneys told Dorsey to use that "hacked materials" excuse.. it's thin and total bs because they have allowed stories against Trump which are total bs to go viral. Sen Johnson more or less got Dorsey and Zuckerberg to admit they censored content with no proof of it being false or Russia disinformation Both were asked again by Sen Wicker admitting they had no information Russia was a source yet they acted like it was by censoring the story, suspending users accounts... Sen Blackburn schooled Dorsey for claiming they never censored Pres Trump and give free reign to Irans dictator.. Sen Lee had his moment calling the FASCISTS out to name any high profile liberal they've censored where none could name any off the top of their head.. It's absolutely clear these companies are engaged in activity to influence voters away from supporting Pres Trump and the GOP. They're engaged in election interference as well as violating campaign finance law via donations in kind through the suppression of stories and suspension of accounts. They need to have their Section 230 protections pulled, since regulation will open pandoras box to go after everyone who "publishes" online. That being said these CEO's are not to blame! You can blame the wealthy Right for never investing/ donating a cent to any competing platform. They REFUSES to help those on front lines only offering pats on back and well wishes while the Left donates and invests in everything = putting their money where their mouth is. The wealthy Right allow these companies to hold a monopoly by not opening up their checkbooks while at the same time bitching about the power grab over free speech. The Senate GOP can only do so much since dems control the House. You can change that and this hold Big Tech has by electing republicans and Pres Trump next week, otherwise dems will be deciding what you can and cant see, read and hear online.

Facebook CEO Admits Classifying Stay-at-Home Protests as "Harmful Misinformation"

 
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, appeared on ABC News admitting FB is classifying the Covid-19 Stay-at-Home protests as "harmful misinformation", shutting down pages and suspending users. Under the same breath this monster said, "We do classify that as harmful misinformation and we take that down.  Um at the same time you know it's important that people can debate policies, so there's a line on this, but you know more than normal political discourse I think a lot of the stuff that people are saying that is false around a health emergency like this can be classified as..is is harmful misinformation."

 

Who made FB the final say on what is or isn't harmful misinformation? Their fact-checkers? Who, if you don't know, are just media hacks like US Today, Politico etc. They never use a Right leaning site to fact-check, when they're not just flat-out shadowbanning a page like yours truly. FYI this post citing a 2015 research study conducted by labs in the US, Switzerland and China was completely sandbagged. There is no bias in the piece, it's information pointing a direct finger where the virus came from.

There are a lot of questions rising up now over this pandemic, especially how it has been handled by the media and special interests. They have caused mass hysteria over a bug that has killed less Americans than those from suicide to heart disease or cancer. So of course Americans are protesting their tyrant leaders, like MI Gov Whitmer, who have implemented over-the-top restrictions on citizens.  People know how to police themselves and want to go back to work, but Zuckerberg and company want to silence that - they want people under govts thumb.

Zuckerberg is and has been out of control censoring users. FB is not a social media platform when they're banning users for invoking their First Amendment rights over what they say or organize. NO ONE is being hurt at these protests, they're peaceful and sending clear message to the Powers That Be the people have had enough.

It is time for Congress to pull the plug on any and all tax incentives and whatever else govt freebie FB is getting. They need to be regulated along with Twitter, Google/YouTube and several others.

WATCH Sen Ted Cruz Grill Facebook's Zuckerberg Over Censoring Conservatives 📺

Well it should be no surprise that the only difficult line of questioning Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, was subjected to came from Sen Ted Cruz. The line of questioning Cruz hit Zuckerberg with that had him up against a wall is nothing compared to what he would do under full cross-examination in a court setting. Zuckerberg doesn't realize how lucky he got off today, this was Cruz at 1 on the intensity meter, at 10 that kid would've been in tears.

There is clear liberal bias on the social media platform against this site as well as countless others. Every single conservative, TEA Party and republican related page is under attack from FB, where page owners have been suspended anywhere from 24 hours to, a week or even a month. Many, yours truly knows personally, have been on consecutive 30 day suspensions, no lie, over 3-5 year old posts!

Thankfully, enough of the people subjected to this abuse, and probably the censorship on Diamond and Silk, made enough noise Sen Cruz took the sole role for calling Zuckerberg out on it. Yes, FB is a private company with its own rules and guidelines, but 99% of those targeted, censored/ shadow-banned have done absolutely nothing wrong. Oct 2017 to Nov 2017 yours truly was suspended one week after another with absolutely no explanation from the company. Warnings were received over spam, yet when challenged FB reversed its position and ADMITTED there was no violation, yet the suspensions remained in force!

FB has grown into a massive sourced of news and information in the same way television and radio did when they became influential to American politics and social issues. The company is playing God with information dictating what is and isn't important for the user to see. Keep in mind every single user chooses of their own will to follow X number pages, but the company feels they must control the flow of information so much so users NEVER see posts in their news feed nor get notifications when the right leaning pages they follow posts content!

Liberal pages of course have no problem and have experienced growth. Cruz knows all of this, and trapped Zuckerberg into one lie after another IMO. BUT the CEO was not under oath, so the lies he told today don't matter.

STR is all about the First Amendment and capitalism, but FB is abusing its power. So if Congress ends up regulating the site like tv and radio so be it.

Sen Sasse and Durbin [yea DICK Durbin] deserve honorary mention.. frankly it was shocking to see Durbin put Zuckerberg on the spot as he did making an excellent example of Zuckerberg's hypocrisy.

Mark Zuckerberg Criticizes Wealth Inequality, Wants Govt to Give Out Free Money

It is not surprising to hear this kind of nonsense from someone who more or less won the internet lottery after dropping out of college. While one can praise Mark Zuckerberg for his ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that led him to becoming a billionaire, there is a flip-side.

Zuckerberg is not a financial genius, he had an idea and was at the right place at the right time. The people who work for him, who run the company used their business sense and no-how to make him a billionaire.

This kid doesn't possess a degree in economics, finance or even basic business 101. He know what he knows from going through the motions and being possibly educated by those with degrees and experience. That said he has no clue about money,and to suggest the US govt start handing money out to everyone is absurd. The fact he doesn't even understand the US is broke should tell you all you need to know. The national debt is $20 trillion, but that is just for starters, we have another $106 trillion in unfunded liabilities and, it gets better, there's a $300+ trillion bomb waiting to go off in the derivatives market!

You ever see the movie Big with Tom Hanks? Go watch the ending where his character "Josh" is making a business presentation and reality hits how ridiculous it is. That's Zuckerberg and pretty all the democrats with their charges of income inequality where their solutions are based on dreams of universal healthcare, raising minimum wage to $15, or this case universal basic income etc. These people don't have a clue and are dangerous because of the mindless fools who take every word they speak as gospel. If dems want people to have more then they should go first!

Mark, since you have a couple billion to burn, feeling the wealth should be spread around, open up your checkbook start handing money out to people. Otherwise, KID, you need shut up! And that goes for all the wealthy super-rich on the left who feel the same way. There's no gun to your head stopping you from writing checks. Why make the govt do it, cut out the middle man, YOU FIRST!
