‘Facebook Censorship and the War on Free Speech
‘..To this, Murray adds the disturbing September incident in which German chancellor Angela Merkel was caught on an open mike, asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg if he would help suppress “anti-immigration” postings… and he replied that he was already working on it.
…What Murray describes at Facebook is but one example of a new mindset taking shape across the Western world – a view of free expression as a liability, a toxic agent of chaos to be contained. Countless stories from the last few years show us that free speech is now negotiable, and the negotiations take place along Marxist class-consciousness lines. Designated victims must be protected from ideas that would hurt their feelings. The cost in liberty to “privileged” oppressors is a small price to pay.
Citizens must learn to weigh their words very carefully. That’s a way of teaching them to weigh their very thoughts carefully, internally policing themselves, lest external social-justice police have to be called in. We are told to accept this new, constrained view of free expression because only “bad” thoughts will be suppressed, but as Murray demonstrates, the definition of bad-thought becomes elastic very quickly, and the ability to write those definitions is a source of incredible power…’

FOR LIBERTY
I suspect this is a moot question but; I wonder if Schmuckerberg was a total leftist dupe douche before he struck it rich?
Gates was an ok kinda guy until the Clinton administration had him on the ropes with an antitrust suit in 1998.
Dunno, Mike. I’ve never been interested enough in the little fascist creep to find out.
This suppression of speech is just going to make the explosion, when it comes, much bigger and nastier.
I damn well hope so.
As I’ve said before, everything is in place for a global revolution on a scale never seen before in history.
The final piece to fall in place will be the global economic meltdown, which seems to be coming anytime in the next two years.
Hungry bellies, a revolution(s) make…and we do live in a Global Village.
“As early as next week, Twitter is planning to replace the reverse chronological stream with one that’s powered algorithmically, surfacing tweets that are most relevant or timely, not just those that are most recent.”
