FaceBook calls for crackdown on Internet freedom

in #informationwar5 years ago (edited)

Mark Zuckerjewdroid, facing calls to censor FaceBook to protect the public, is demanding strict regulation and enforcement of the entire internet.

He posted his manifesto on his FaceBook page, and simultaneously as an opinion piece throughout the mainstream media.

"We need a more active role for governments and regulators, to protect society," he wrote.

Here's an updated list of everyone who wants a heavily regulated internet:

  • governments (especially USA, UK, Israel, and China)
  • mainstream social media companies
  • mainstream news organizations (like CNN)
  • regulators and law enforcers
  • the deep state
  • surveillance organizations

Pretty much everybody except The People. And they're all doing it in the name of "protecting society".

My only presence on mainstream social media (like FB) is to reach new minds with my messages. I encourage people to join decentralized censorship-resistant online communities, like Steem.

he's been in on it for years.. this is all inside job.

I remember my social studies teacher in high school telling us about how bad censorship in China was. But Canada and the US are becoming like it more and more every day. Citizens are unconsciously accepting it when they used to make fun of China-style censorhip and think that we're far superior.

My teacher said they would disconnect phone calls talking about certain subjects and open, read, and sometimes confiscate stuff out of the mail before delivering it.

The modern version of disconnecting calls or removing items from the mail on a certain topic, is shadowbanning.

Also that's so creepy what Alex Jones (was made to) come out and say...

Yeah, he had to say he was confused and psychotic when he believed certain mass shootings are staged. Blahhhh.

Yea I was in the train station in London yesterday and saw a huge internet censoring thingy come up on the big screen about the UK censoring all porn and many other sites too

That's messed up, banning porn, holy shit that's 1/3 of the internet!

When you start to censor you start to engineer the conversion and we all have our biases and you're never going to win, you're running up a greased hill for sure.

Most sheeple don't care they just want to use free services but for those who feel like they actually have a message worth promoting decentralised services will be key

This awareness of censorship is hugely important. I WAS aware but many aren't, & they don't know what they don't see. Thanks for a good post.

Totally agree this man is a menace but why call him "Zuckerjewdroid"? Why bring the Jewish shit into this?

It wasn't me that brought the Jewish shit into this.

it's simple don't use the systems that censor you, and bash the idiots that you call friends for using them... and don't forget if they still do, it's probably because they are low iq...

It's not simple unless you oversimplify it. This is one of the most complex and involved issues there is in today's world, and if you see it as simple, it's because you're not aware of the nuances.
I'm a full-time activist, and one of my job descriptions is reaching and educated the ignorant masses. Since the ignorant masses are (and always will be) on 'mainstream' platforms, I will always have a presence there, no matter how bad censorship gets in an attempt to stop me and others like me.
I've tried hiding myself away on alternative websites nobody else uses, boycotting the mainstream, and "bashing the idiots" who use FaceBook and YouTube, but it doesn't reach them. They never see or hear the insults, let alone the message you're actually trying to get into them.

I was speaking IRL...

So you're saying "don't use the systems that censor you IRL"?
If you're not talking about social media, then what?

Resaid: it's simple don't use those systems that censor you, and say face to face to the people who you are friends with that they are lame (or idiot, stupid or too smart ;)) to use those censoring platforms and that by using them they contribute to censorship and a lag in the deployment of modern, open sources, uncensorable softwares.

Yeah, I advocate everybody does that.
I'm an activist and public figure who uses FB and other mainstream social media to educate people and encourage them to move to decentralized sources of news and communication.

On most of my Steem posts about FaceBook, I include a paragraph so I don't get comments like yours, but I didn't include it on this post. My bad. Here's some copypasta:

"They get what they deserve! Everybody knows FB is corrupt and censored. People should use sites like Steemit!"

Yes, I completely agree. And I see this statement all over the place, any time FaceBook gets negative press. I get it. But that's not seeing the whole picture here. FB has die-hards, and there are sheep in every crowd. Furthermore, FB is part of the deep state - the nonpublic inner workings of governmental agencies and elite insiders. They aren't going anywhere unless that decision is made from the top, and I don't mean Zuk. This isn't a free market where companies that screw up go bankrupt. This is a rigged game where supply and demand aren't allowed to act.

The reason I have a FB account? I've known it was a rigged game of censorship and surveillance since it started in 2006. I've used it to my advantage, while attempting to minimize the disadvantages I was aware of. Little of the revelations in the past year have shocked me. I continue to use the site, to reach the ignorant masses with my message. FB isn't my home base online - Steem is. Same with my 10-year channel promoting liberty on YouTube. I can't see a place of censorship and surveillance as my home base, ever. How could I? How can anyone?

Still, I know that some do, which is why I maintain a presence there. I constantly encourage FB users to leave the site, and to check out the Steem blockchain, and other decentralized forms of social media and news.
