Facebook Removes Hundreds of Accounts Spamming Political Info (theverge.com)
Facebook is purging hundreds of accounts and pages in the U.S., many of which spread political misinformation, for breaking the company's terms against "inauthentic" content and spam. The Verge reports: The company said in a blog post that 559 pages and 251 accounts would be removed. While the accounts used "sensational political content," Facebook did not say that was the reason for the purge. Instead, the accounts and pages will be taken down after they had "consistently broken" the company's rules against gaming its platform. Facebook noted that many used strategies like posting on fake or multiple accounts to generate traffic, or to inflate their popularity. Still, Facebook noted the proximity to the U.S. midterm elections, and said that networks like the ones it removed today are "increasingly" promoting political content that is "often indistinguishable from legitimate political debate." The company said this was the reason it has turned to "behavior" instead of "content" when searching for bad actors.
You're a liar and a shill, but the lies you've told others don't weigh nearly as much as the lies you've told yourself. You're neither dispassionate, nor Libertarian and your word choice in this post proves it to us. You are yourself a fascist racist.
Found one!
No one will even notice a difference.
Conservative victimologists will notice. They will use the argument that "we are being silenced" to generate outrage and help get out the vote on November 6th.
Democrats fail to understand right-wing anger. They think the Brett Kavanaugh hearings helped them, but polls are showing the opposite: it is the right that is riled up and angry, because ... umm ... their guy won again.
Exactly. It's important that you, as a conservative, see yourself as a victim, and that's a major part of the strategy. Otherwise it becomes very hard to justify the atrocities that your party commits in the name of white nationalism. I actually feel for you and I hope when you finally come over to the light side it's not too jarring for you.
