‘Facebook Has Become The World’s Most Dangerous Censor’

Posted on by

‘..A power the Stasi — or, yes, the Gestapo — could only dream of has been handed to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. At her behest, the social network has begun a Europe-wide campaign to counter so-called “hate speech” on its platform. It is also working with a German publisher to remove “racist” posts in Germany.
With more communication than ever before taking place on platforms like Facebook, this level of censorship is unprecedented. Previously, censors were limited by the amount of people they could send to monitor underground bookstores. Now, with human communication mediated by an-ever shrinking list of tech companies, computer algorithms can be used to monitor and censor the speech of entire nations. The future is here: not the one envisaged by Gene Roddenberry, but by George Orwell…’    Breitbart

  1. Facebook, Twitter, Google. All leftist globalist pandering shills. They’ve all agreed to abide by Germany’s various anti-discrimination laws, notwithstanding that their content isn’t hosted in Germany.

    Twitter is stalking Milo, as well. They’ve sent him to the naughty corner a couple of times in the past two days; he reckons they’re lining up to ban him.

    • Yep. Only a massive boycott can make them re-think this. And the chances of that happening, given the brain-dead state of so many of their followers?
      Almost nil.

      • Boycott wont work. They want conservatives gone so the narrative swings back in their direction.

        Here’s my prediction.

        Conservatives, typically being stubborn bastards, will start working around the bans twice as furiously as the ever did in their absence. Coded language will ensue where #Islam starts being referred to as #IsHam, and by the time the #IsHam trend is shut down it will be #LameIS etc and so forth.

        A habit will be made of simply hijacking every trending tweet and adding pictures with no context (showing an islamic state fighter holding a severed head with no supporting text for example). Until now trend-jacking has been avoided by most people because it’s uncivilised, but if censorship starts then all bets are off.

        Meanwhile Twitter will cop a constant category five shitstorm and their stocks will continue to nosedive. Hopefully this will give time for a Twitter substitute with a free speech charter to arrive on scene.

        You can’t stop the signal.

  2. And the chances of that happening, given the brain-dead state of so many of their followers?
    So true KG , the future generations have their heads buried in their effin smart phones and the world around them is changing to their detriment.They don’t even know who Orwell is ffs!
    They’ve all been ZUCKKABERGED!

    • As long as they can afford it because it looks like the world economy is in free fall . Can you imagine only a week without electricity !

      • I can imagine a week without food deliveries in a large city because I’ve read about it in my history book – St. Petersburg, Russia….early March, 1917….

        Like I said before, “The worse it gets the better for us.”

        No revolution is possible without hungry bellies.

        …and it looks like the bellies will soon be empty thanks to decades of economic failures by the Progressives.

  3. O/T Nice chapter featuring first person diaries on Gallipoli “Intimate Voices from the First World War” edited by Svetlana Palmer and Sarah Wallis. Chapter 6. Gallipoli April-December 1915. The book published 2003 covers WWI featuring first person accounts.

    The fact that war is Hell is confirmed on each page.

      • For someone with pay-per-gig internet this sounds like a dream come true.

        Presently I have to micromanage what my browser will load. Pamella Geller’s site, for example, is a complete no-go due to all the scripts that it loads by default.

        I hope this gets off the ground.
