UK man arrested for FB comments that upset some people.



At 1:13 mark: "You made some comments that are offensive and obscene and people have made a complaint about that."

Wonder who those ))) people ((( are? It must be ... The Amish again.

Don't think this kind of censorship will eventually hit the U.S.? Think again.

5G in Canada is a marketing scam?

The person in this video says he repairs cell phones for a living and there's no 5G chip in 5G phones in Canada. If anyone has knowledge of this, drop a comment. 

It makes me wonder about U.S. 5G phones. Does anyone know if U.S. cell phones actually contain the 5G chip? I haven't disassembled a cell phone for over 10 years and that's only after it was run over by a car, at slow speed. Many attempts were made to reassemble it, but it wasn't salvageable. There was data on it I'd like to have accessed.

I forget where I found this video. H/T to whoever it is. If it's yours or you ran it, drop a comment, I do my best to give attribution.

"We noticed you didn't watch our ad! You vill watch ze ad before you zee the content!"

I can't find a story on this, so I don't know if this is a joke or true. 

If true, advertisers and sponsors will monitor your eye contact confirming you watched their ad before allowing you to view the actual content? And if they see that you didn't maintain eye contact, you'll have to watch it making certain to maintain eye contact? I don't F'ing think so. 

If you're aware of a story substantiating this new and innovative Big Brother Tech experience, drop a comment. This has to be a joke, right?

If true, I have to imagine this will result in a lot of unwatched content. Would you watch an ad where you're being monitored to make sure you view the ad?

Internet in Real Time.

How many posts, searches and uploads occur every second to FB, X, IG, You Tube, Pinterest, Google, Yandex and other social media sites or online Big Media? How many people are calling an Uber or using Skype every second?

This site Tracks that data it in real time: The Internet in Real Time. Check it out. It doesn't include Blooger or WP. Awwwwww...😭  It should, I'd like to see real-time data tracking for posting on both Bloog and WP.

It's kind of like the USA Debt Clock but for Social Media and other online commercial sites.

Twitter Files 9.0 Reveals Coordination Between Tech Giant & Govt Agencies Other Than FBI.

Libs, RINOs and the medical community are thoroughly corrupt. But we already knew this.

Twitter Files 9, Substack by Matt Taibbi: Twitter Files Thread: The Spies Who Loved Twitter From FBI to DNI the DNI to "OGA," the full thread on Twitter and its intelligence partners.

 After weeks of “Twitter Files” reports, the FBI issued a statement Wednesday.

    It didn’t refute allegations. Instead, it decried “conspiracy theorists” publishing “misinformation,” whose “sole aim” is to “discredit the agency.”

3.    They must think us unambitious, if our “sole aim” is to discredit the FBI. After all, a whole range of government agencies discredit themselves in the #TwitterFiles. Why stop with one?

4.    The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA.

He called for an immediate stop to the mRNA vaccines.

The Epoch Times: New ‘Twitter Files’ Show Company Suppressed COVID Information From Doctors and Experts.

Twitter appeared to succumb to pressure from federal officials to moderate content around COVID-19, including blocking a post by a former Harvard scientist who offered critical feedback against COVID-19 vaccines in 2021, according to the latest installment of the Elon Musk-endorsed “Twitter Files” posted Monday morning.
[.]
[...] a Twitter moderator flagged a post from former Harvard School of Medicine professor Martin Kulldorff because it violated the the social media firm’s COVID-19 misinformation policy and asserted that he was posting “false information.” When the firm took action against his post, it was labeled as “misleading” and all likes and replies were turned off, which prevented the post from being shared more widely.
[.]
“The United States government pressured Twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress other content about COVID-19,” [journalist David] Zweig also wrote, adding that when the current administration took over last year, “one of their first meeting requests with Twitter executives was on COVID.” The focus, namely, was regarding “anti-vaxxer accounts,” internal emails show.

The TWITTER FILES PART 8: How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign - Lee Fang.

Lee Fang @lhfang (in chrono order):

Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations.
[.]
3. But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active.

4. In 2017, a U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) official sent Twitter a list of 52 Arab language accounts “we use to amplify certain messages.” The official asked for priority service for six accounts, verification for one & “whitelist” abilities for the others.
[.]
18. The reality is much more murky. Twitter actively assisted CENTCOM’s network going back to 2017 and as late as 2020 knew these accounts were covert/designed to deceive to manipulate the discourse, a violation of Twitter’s policies & promises. They waited years to suspend.

This release is damning for Twitter, Social Media and the Government. Some would call this behavior treasonous and seditious. Not a peep from the ACLU or Liberals who claim they care about this type of collusion. Shocking!

New Zealand Govt goes police state. Snitch on family and friends. Report them as, "terrorists,"...

..."if they disagree with politics including..." (you saw this coming...DRUM ROLL...- DD)..."covid." 

They mean, The Unvaxxed and those of us who sat back, watched the shitshow and weren't frightened or bullied into being injected with Big Pharma's Magical Mystery Oil. 

Back to snitching on others. It's so Nazisesque just like Big Liberal Nanny Government!

 
 

Kitteridge seems...unpleasant.

TWITTER FILES: PART 7 - The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop; Michael Shellenberger

The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop:

How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020.

Michael Shellenberger @ShellenbergerMD

Added (easier to read the chronology): Twitter Files Part 7, Substack.

The Twitter Files: 1-6 LINK

TLDR version of all the Twitter Files: The FBI was running interference for the Bidens, the Dems and the RINOs (all of whom didn't want President Donald Trump re-elected), hand-in-hand with Social Media, claiming that the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell was fake and disinformation. If this had been done by a Republican, we'd be watching MSM impeachment coverage 24/7. Not only this, but the FBI was in constant contact with Twitter and FB on what news and stories to spike. Twitter and FB complied.

The Twitter Files, Matt Taibbi.

So many writing about Elon Musk releasing the Twitter docs to Matt Taibbi. It's a fascinating read and it's far from over and I'm not fully up-to-date on it.

Here's the link, starting at Tweet/Thread #1 and on it goes. And it's to continue until it's over, I guess. 

Let's hope this breaks the monopoly of Big Tech's stronghold in politically manipulative Social Media.

Elon is right, there must be transparency and accountability.

Don't hold your breath. Lower expectations and be encouraged when a hit lands.

On a side note, I'm reminded of the South Park episode "Skankhunt42," where during late night sessions, Gerald Broflovski (of ALL the characters, they pick him - 🤣 everyone thinks it Cartman), trolls and cyberbullies other in SP on the internet as "SkankHunt42," which is also the title of the episode. If you like SP and haven't seen it, check it out. If you've seen it, it's more relevant today than when it was made.

Here's a preview. (Turn up the audio using the speaker icon before hitting play.)

Dems wanted to conspire with Big Tech to spy on those who disagree with them.

Breitbart: Sens. Hawley, Grassley: Biden Ministry of Truth Wanted to Partner with Big Tech to Monitor Domestic Speech.

Internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents obtained by Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) reveal that the DHS had plans for its Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) to partner with Big Tech companies to monitor domestic speech about topics including election security and COVID-19.

A memo on a planned meeting between the DHS and Twitter executives noted that it was “an opportunity to discuss operationalizing public-private partnerships between DHS and Twitter, as well as [to] inform Twitter executives about DHS work on [misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, or “MDM”], including the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board.”

The documents suggested that DHS would provide “information to technology companies enabling them to remove content at their discretion and consistent with their terms of service.”

Read the DHS document. Their intent is to spy on people whose opinions, values and ethical standards differ from the Corrupt Liberal Regime.

"Dissent IS Patriotic but doesn't apply to Democrats! REEEEE!"

Joe Rogan moving to Spotify, had enough of You Tube.

RT: Stop censoring us, Big Tech! Joe Rogan’s $100 million move to Spotify sends stark message to YouTube.
The comedian’s landmark shift away from the Google-owned streaming service could signal the start of a wave of creators moving away from the site – as it bafflingly attempts to pander to legacy media.
[.]
... it is perhaps not surprising that Spotify have just wooed the former Fear Factor presenter away from YouTube after writing him a cheque for a rumoured $100 million.
[.]
...the Joe Rogan Experience’s home has been YouTube. His channel, “PowerfulJRE”, has more than eight million subscribers and he pulls in around 400 million views a month. But despite these outrageous numbers and his ludicrous success on the medium, Rogan has decided to leave the platform.
You Tube, where your films will last forever. Or, until the Tube Gestapo deletes them.

Awwww, "most charming and magnificent." How quaint!

Alvin's in Kentucky: Those wearing masks Shall Not Pass!


A Kentucky convenience store told customers to take off their face masks or “go somewhere else” — but later did an about-face when called out for the controversial message.

A photo of the sign outside Alvin’s in Manchester was shared Monday on Facebook by a man who said he wanted to “spread their shame” by publicizing the business’ call to flout Gov. Andy Beshear’s mask guidance, intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

No face masks allowed in store,” the pink sign read. “Lower your mask or go somewhere else! Stop listening to Beshear. He’s a dumbass.”

Instead, the shopper’s post — which was shared more than 3,800 times — prompted some Facebook users to call him a “snitch,” and others said they saw the sign as a “patriotic statement.”

“If I didn’t live so far away, I would do all my shopping here,” another man wrote. “Finally somebody with same dang common sense.”

The store, however, later changed its message, saying it would not turn away customers who are wearing face coverings.

“We are not telling you to not wear a mask,” Alvin’s wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “What we are saying is, [it’s] your choice to wear one or not, not our [government’s] choice for us. While some got the meaning behind it, [a lot] did not.”

The sign was not intended to “offend anyone,” according to Tuesday’s post.
[.]
The sign, meanwhile, has led some to consider making a 60-minute drive just to pick up lunch there.

DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING,” one reply read. “We are planning a road trip just to eat at your place.
Welcome to The Micro-Offended, Can't Take a Joke, Snitch Culture brought to you by a virus that allegedly originated in China. Anyone else looking forward to a future where hilarity ensues when the snitchers are snitched on?

Adam Schiff wants Big Tech to snitch on you and censor you.

Washington Times: Schiff suggests Google, YouTube and Twitter notify users who engaged with coronavirus misinformation.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff has asked Google, YouTube and Twitter to consider following Facebook protocol in alerting users who interacted on their platforms with misinformation involving the coronavirus pandemic.

The congressman’s office released letters Thursday that Mr. Schiff, the chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote to the heads of the companies this week.

Citing the presence of coronavirus-related misinformation on their platforms, Mr. Schiff suggested the companies adopt a practice similar to Facebook and proactively notify users who engaged on their platforms with harmful medical content involving the continuing outbreak.
[.]
Though the best protection is removing or downgrading harmful content before users engage with it, that is not always possible,” Mr. Schiff wrote in the letters.
[.]
“I recognize the complex challenges that misinformation presents to online platforms,” Mr. Schiff added. “As we all grapple with this unprecedented health situation, I hope you will consider this suggestion for keeping users better informed.”

The letters were dated Wednesday and sent to Sundar Pichai, the chief executive officer of Google’s parent company Alphabet, as well as YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and Twitter CEO Jason Dorsey.
When I read the LARGE lettered sentence from Schiff, am I the only one who pictures a WWII High-Ranking, Overachieving German Officer puffing away at a cigarette he is tightly holding between his thumb and forefinger, saying:
"I hope you vill conzider theez suggestion for keeping uz better invormed !"
Social Media has been censoring users for years. Soon, Social Media will experience the very same from the likes of Adam Schiff.

Big Tech...still think Liberals are your best friend? You silly soy-boy-girl-ettes.

"WE" (aka the Media, but it won't) should be demanding answers from Adam Schiff, and his relationship with DEM donor-alleged meth injector Ed Buck.

Maybe we should demand answers from Schiff and his knowledge about Jeffrey Epstein. They look comfortable, don't they?

Time for Schiff to answer questions instead of asking them.

AI social-distancing enforcement tool. "You will be TRACKED!"


An AI start-up company has developed a video surveillance system that can tell if we’re abiding by social distancing rules. It’s the latest example of the pandemic inspiring what some might view as sinister technology.
[.]
Californian software developer Landing AI has created a video tool that can be used to ascertain whether people are following social distancing rules.

“Landing AI has developed an AI-enabled social distancing detection tool that can detect if people are keeping a safe distance from each other by analyzing real-time video streams from the camera,” the company chirps, in a blog post about the new software.
Remove your mask and smile for the camera! Big Brother wants a nice, clear image of your facial recognition for their database.

Study finds You Tube is a gateway to far-right ideologies.


Research presented at the ACM FAT 2020 conference in Barcelona today supports the notion that YouTube’s platform is playing a role in radicalizing users via exposure to far-right ideologies.

The study, carried out by researchers at Switzerland’s Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, found evidence that users who engaged with a middle ground of extreme right-wing content migrated to commenting on the most fringe far-right content.

A March 2018 New York Times article by sociologist Zeynep Tufekci set out the now widely reported thesis that YouTube is a radicalization engine. Followup reporting by journalist Kevin Roose told a compelling tale of the personal experience of an individual, Caleb Cain, who described falling down an “alt right rabbit hole” on YouTube.

Their paper, called “Auditing radicalization pathways on YouTube,” details a large-scale study of YouTube looking for traces of evidence — in likes, comments and views — that certain right-leaning YouTube communities are acting as gateways to fringe far-right ideologies.
[.]
We reached out to YouTube for a response to the research but the company did not reply to our questions.

The company has tightened its approach toward certain far-right and extremist content in recent years, in the face of growing political and public pressure over hate speech, targeted harassment and radicalization risks.

It has also been experimenting with reducing algorithmic amplification of certain types of potentially damaging nonsense content that falls outside its general content guidelines — such as malicious conspiracy theories and junk science.
You Tube didn't reply to questions from Tech Crunch? Why, that's shocking. You Tube customer service is the finest ever, hands-down. Must be something temporary or they're short-staffed due to the flu.

It's impossible to visit You Tube and not fall into an "alt-right rabbit hole", isn't it? Happens all the time. I'll be watching an AC/DC video and then, just like Hillary says, those Dark Web Right Wing Videos fly by, you don't know what you really just viewed, you don't really remember what it was, can't find it again, and then free-fall into unintended depths of "alt-right rabbit holes".

I haven't read Switzerland’s Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil study, but I'm betting it's pretty junky science, both capricious and arbitrary.


Oh, yeah - who's Zeynep Tufekci? Here ya go.
