Facebook is killing people (?)

[Andrew NDB]

According to Biden, Facebook is killing people:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/16/polit...-19/index.html

He's walked it back, saying he actually meant to say he blames "twelve people" who were spreading "misinformation" on Facebook... but in the same breath saying he wishes Facebook wouldn't "take it personal," and instead step forward and ban these people and content preemptively. So in other words, Facebook is still killing people.

Yeesh. Seems like a pretty clear picture is forming -- the government (well, the Biden white house, anyway) can circumvent the 1st amendment by just bullying big tech to do their bidding, and remove all stories and content they don't like.

Bwah!
As if anyone could say it won't happen, after shitshow that were presidential elections!
Of course, demRATS would do anything to control narrative and to ensure that Republicans won't get in power again, essentially usurping power in their hands, something, that they routinely accused Trump of doing.

Honestly, at this point I feel pity for US. While I don't think it will become full blown clone of USSR (without curfew or civil war, at least) it still will get into decline at the hands of government and corporations.

The only thing I hope for, it won't get to purging "worngthinkers", because, this is what usually happens with commies or any other group of people who "always know how to build an utopia" in charge.

Maaaaaaaan... Joe Biden's like 125 years old, he ain't never been on no Facebook.

The closest he ever got to using Facebook was when his idiot son bought crack from a guy he met on Facebook.

[Andrew NDB]

My thing is... yeesh. These kind of stories hit and everybody on the left is like, "haha! Poor babies. Facebook is a company and can do whatever they want!" knowing damn well if the shoe was on the other foot and it was a republican-pushed initiative they would be the ones screaming the same "town square" argument that we are now.

i thought it sounded as if he meant the un-vaccinated were killing people, cause that is the current narrative the msm is pushing right now. coulda sworn the reporters were asking him about vaccines and what he thinks of the un-vaccinated, buy maybe i heard wrong. still either way, biden reminds me of hitler demonizing the jews, only this time it’s the un-vaxxed and Trump supporters.

once the government has this kind of power and control, obedience to big gov, mandates lead to more mandates.

Exactly this... and its at the point of no return right now.

[Vegita-San]

quite frankly, it reminds me of a cult, or a hydra like organization trying to secretly take control. it seems like we are living in an alternate universe and things really can't possibly get this crazy. but, here we are..

[IndigoErth]

He obviously meant misuse (or crappy manipulative use) of social media platforms in general (topic or motive aside imo as that can be pretty broad), not specific companies... though FB decided to take it personally and get upset over it.

Their reaction surprised me, personally, it seemed rather sensitive and knee jerk for a company with as much power as it holds.

scary times we are in! however seeing France protesting the draconian vaccine passports by their dictator, gives me some hope maybe there really is a silent majority that will save us.

people legit believed that by getting the vaccine life would return to normal, now big gov weaponizing it and putting the vaxxed vs unvaxxed. “hurry and get the vaccine so you won’t get covid”, now 3 months later “it’s ok you can still get covid but the vaccine will lower the effects” now “everybody must mask up, vaxxed or not, caused it’s the unvaxxed’s fault you still have to wear a mask!” cause ya know, masks and lockdowns worked so well the first time round. i swear some people will follow the “experts” all the way to the final step off the bridge.

dr fauci looked guilty as hell yesterday in his courtroom freak out, that’s why they wanna shift the blame over to the un-vaxxed, not the guy who actually funded the lab that created and unleashed the virus. fauci lied, people died.

[The Deadman]

I'm all for getting rid of the baseless conspiracy theories that people might put on FB like if you get the vaccine, you're tracked for life.

But come on, there were just as many people telling others that if they DIDNT get it, they were essentially dead on arrival.

Go after both if you wanna make an example.

How do you know you aren't being tracked? Have you tried setting a fork or spoon over your injection site? A friend of mine is magnetic now. But just in that shoulder.

I really don't understand how some folks still believe all the BS from main stream media & the faux-resident. All those Texas dems got on a plane and ran away from doing their jobs & a bunch, despite being vaxxed, caught covid.

I really think its too late and we are headed to the Biblical End Times... first the masks & vaxx, now its more masks & vaxx boosters despite people getting sick & dying from them both... And they're going to go back into lockdowns rather than let the scared sh!tless stay home because its not about our health, its ALL about control. Anyone else seen those folks who cut a hole into their masks for cigarettes? ????

[The Deadman]

The scared shitless didn't stay home the first go around, in fact that caused them to come out and doomsday shop every week.

are you trying to imply the right doesn't do it? Or that they somehow do it less?
Because they both do and if I were to compare the right does it to levels only literal retards fall for them. The left has far fewer of those radicalized folk who believe everything. Just look at the replies on this thread for evidence and tell me that is "normal" talking points for the right to make and that the left is somehow crazier.

Exhibit A: forks, spoons, and magnetic shoulders.

How do we know that humans aren't just naturally magnetic? Are we forgetting about this? There's tons of photo evidence! People have been doing it for ages and they don't even give vaccines in noses! Explain!



/sarcasm

[mrmaczaps]

Indigo & SDP are two high end exhibits of batsh!t crazy.

[IndigoErth]

Sure thing, MrMacMagnets.

I offer up evidence of spoons sticking to people, a long time occurrence, and you have nothing to say about it?

[mrmaczaps]

A spoon on the nose isn't magnetic. Its a kids trick. "Evidence". Lol.

[IndigoErth]

How do you know it isn't? How can you otherwise explain the trick then? I'm sure my point is obvious that the answer to that is inevitably the same answer to sticking them to a shoulder or anywhere else.

[IMJ]

I think the trick is friction from moisture and the shape of the spoon. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it isn't magnetic.

But then again birds have magnetic receptors in their wings and that's how they navigate. Maybe the nose really does know?

You guys are so special.
