FOX: Facebook is paying some users to deactivate their accounts up to six weeks before the 2020 presidential election, according to screenshots from Washington Post reporter Elizabeth Dwoskin.
The effort is part of a new research project Facebook announced in an Aug. 31 blog post to “better understand the impact of Facebook and Instagram on key political attitudes and behaviors during the U.S. 2020 elections.”
“We’d like to know how much you’d need to be paid in for deactivating your Instagram account…in late September for either [one] week or [six] weeks,” an Instagram notice to users reads in a screenshot Dwoskin posted to Twitter. “To participate, you must be willing to deactivate your account for both time periods and not use Instagram during that time.” more
Reduce volume of any positive Trump accounts more likely.
And I ditched Fakebook for free. Years ago.
I demand FBreparations. Immediately.
No justice. No piece of the pie.
Alright Zuckerberg, you pencil necked freak/geek. Pay up now or I might spring for a man’s haircut for you at Nancy’s salon.
Yeah. You look like twiggy. Bangs? Seriously. That’s queer. In the old meaning of the word. Odd.
Is that not election tampering?
So how much is Uncle Xi paying the democRATz to pay Facebook to create false accounts?
Sounds like he may be getting to the end of his rope when he starts asking for estimates on how much it’s going to cost to destroy America!
Ding – – Ding – – Ding!! Something is up, the computer wizards should be able to do that with algorithm formulas.
I deleted mine this summer. Send me a check.
I don’t do Facebook. I think they should send me a check to stay away.
I volunqueered my Petey B to cancel his Facebook page two weeks before the erection so he could spend all that time stuffing my ballot box, better known as my unbleached elastic starfish!
One site I follow about Common Sense Homesteading (I enjoy their pics of farms and recipes) had a post the other day that they were asked to delete their page and would be paid for it. Half the readers said it was a hoax and the other half said it was electioneering.
This makes absolutely no financial sense. Fecebook is in the business of HAVING active user accounts. Zuck the Schmuck simply MUST have political reasons for this.
And I’m with @Ann Nonymous Prime. It should be worth a little something to FB for me to continue boycotting them!
I don’t get it… IF I had a fb or ig presence, I certainly would not cease and desist for $120 right before the election!!! WTF?
Lemme guess — this offer is only being extended to pro-Trump/GOP accounts?
@Chasten
Your Petey B might mistake vote for vole and stick one or a bunch of those toothy little buggers into your starfish. They’re bigger than gerbils. Enjoy, Senor!
