ive got like 10-20k$ worth

I dont like where this narative is heading

And its comming from multiple outlets

Also when they " demote " certain content they are talking about ppl like Tim as well

😡

its all planned

Well facebook and youtube are in a hard place with this

If they straight censor it could trigger exodus of ppl

So they do all these half measures

This narrative is ultimately the goal. The legacy media and powers that be want to reassert control of the internet and stamp out any opposing narratives.

They can't do it on their own and they don't want to pick a fight with the government (due to the 1st amendment) so they go after the social media companies instead.

I get the impression alot of the base employees at YT and FB want to play censor but the leadership is still libertarian.

Well its also economic

They need the ad bucks

Compare Reddit 2012 to Reddit 2018.

They're hitting middle strides. Trying to take pressure off.

Well the discussion is about curration and its scale

So what is facebook going to start basically shadowbanning people? I find that far worse than outright censorship and banning

Some people say they already do.

Its harder to prove

They do it in some cases

Facebook is a very bad actor on many occasions

They like to give info to dictators and such

People have been forcing narratives to enact change through cultural artificial selection for a long time now, but at the risk of sounding hyperbolic lately it's been ramping up to cultural genocide, or memocide I suppose

Yep

Breitbart is always sketchy, but they claim there have been pages banned.

The Gateway Pundit is also fairly sketchy but are saying they are seeing massive drops in engagement.

Not sure how accurate this is, but there's not much a priori reason to doubt Facebook is playing games either.

Ofc they are

And if zuc runs for president you are going to see some shit yet

I can say I know some social media types and they have a definite flavor to them and 'Fake News' is very much a hot area of research right now in the spaces where FB and Google operate.

Lol

Zucc won't run at this point. He's made too many enemies.

Might even be why he got hauled in front of Congress. Nip him early.

Well the Cambridge analytica scandal dmged him

But he could still run imo

Honestly they dont have anyone else who could stop bernie at this point

And i highly doubt dnc wants bernie to run

Bernie's out.

They could even try for the oprah meme

Also, interesting article for those who get concerned by Google and FB.
