suzy@Suzy1776_· Facebook employees are unable to enter the building, access key cards not working.
Sebastian Gorka DrG@SebGorka· So what do we think really’s happening at Facebook right now?
Why this Facebook scandal is different
Internal evidence shared by former Facebook product manager Frances Haugen shows Facebook has known — but ignored — the harm it causes.
On Sunday evening, a former Facebook employee who has previously revealed damning internal documents about the company came forward on 60 Minutes to reveal her identity.
Frances Haugen, a former product manager on Facebook’s civic integrity team, shared documents that were the basis of an explosive series of articles in the Wall Street Journal. The reports revealed that the company knew its products can cause meaningful harm — including negatively impacting the mental health of teens — but it still has not made major changes to fix such problems.
“There were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook. And Facebook, over and over again, chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money,” said Haugen in the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday.
She also shared new allegations — not previously covered in the WSJ’s extensive reporting — about Facebook allegedly relaxing its standards on misinformation after the 2020 presidential elections, shortly ahead of the January 6 riots at the US Capitol.
In an internal staff memo obtained and published on Friday by the New York Times, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, wrote that the responsibility for January 6 “rests squarely with the perpetrators of the violence, and those in politics and elsewhere who actively encouraged them.” Clegg also wrote that Facebook is not a “primary cause of polarization.”
Facebook has been mired in PR and political crises for the past five years. But this is a staggering moment for the company and the billions of people who use its products. Already, in response to documents revealed by Haugen, the whistleblower, the company has paused development of its Instagram for Kids product, brought two executives before Congress to testify, and launched a PR offensive dismissing the Wall Street Journal’s reporting as “cherry picking.”
F*uck Zuck is underway.
Pinch Pichai is next then Whack Jack!
Good riddance! Make it permanent.
I was kicked-off of FarceBook long ago… Best thing that happened to me. Twitter has IP banned me. I wear it as a badge of honor.
“cherry picking”
The cherry tree needs to be cut down.
Burning it to the ground also works.
I’m reading the Ruskies canceled their domain. I’m not sure they can do that, but FB is off line.
“Facebook in Turmoil in Aftermath of Whistleblower”
Good.
Conservative Twitter is claiming that the ‘whistleblower’ is a ruse, to push for greater government intervention into ‘freedom of speech’. Meanwhile, Facebook and apparently their other sites are down. Coincidence???
Their Domain has been erased. So FB and Instagram are down. I hope they get Twitter next. Pass the popcorn please.
That’s Wild…It’s down and so is instagram…..Some funny replies on Gorka’s
twitter link…Maybe People will go outside and experience the warmth of the Sun.
LOL

The Lord works in mysterious ways…
Another cesspool of demons comes crashing down.
I hope Fuckerberg is sued into oblivion…
Why go to 60 Min? Why did 60 Min. run the story?
I don’t trust these people.
A core DB failure is unlikely. A DNS lookup failure, maybe.
But I think Suckerburg crashed it to keep data from being extracted.
Or it is running on Hillarys closet server farm.
Suckerburg may have crashed it just to prove how much people need his crap to libs.
So, padlocked by FBI, or locked out staff so minions can wipe servers before supoena arrives?
FreeMan, Apparently the BGP routes were withdrawn.
One more thing. I do Card Access systems. No way that one thing could cause the other. Panels run on memory that works after power or network loss.
Someone had to disable access prior to the outage.
What I did today when I get the news.

This Farce book whistlwblower is no whistleblower, she is demanding more censorship! It’s fake!!
Sorry – #1 is the clip I wanted.
Much ado about nothing. Facebook will live long and prosper because Facebook is far too important to the government. Controlling the narrative is what it’s all about these days and few do it better than the Zuck.
Did something happen? For certain but don’t expect it to last long or have lasting consequences.
facebork, all it’s employees, and their families, should be considered enemies of the freedom of speech, and none of these folks should ever have a nice day.

Glad I never signed up for the socialized media crap.
A traitor to the Revolution has been exposed in our own ranks.
The shutdown is so purges can commence. We will intensely question the Party faithful for their TRUE loyalty, then eliminate those who we don’t believe are sufficiently pure so the Revolution can advance, eliminating them even from history.
That’s what I taught them to do, anyway…

Never forget Facebook and Twitter censored life saving information cures/treatments for covid infections and suppressed facts about the dangers/fatal risks of the jabs. Massive amount of blood is on their hands. Goes for the media, too.
Is their stock crashing?
(Crossing my fingers.)

Yup!
Remember life before all these so-called social media platforms?
The operative word here is “life”, as in having one. It’s very telling that there are a sizeable number of people — especially Gen Z — who don’t know how to live life without telling any random internet stranger their most intimate (and boring) thoughts. If you subscribe to NextDoor, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. What started out as a nifty app to help neighbors with referrals for various contractors and share info on local stores, restaurants and other services, has devolved into lazy, bored people posting the most inane questions about stuff and bleating out their political nonsense (entirely Leftist crap).
If they’re accusing the WSJ of “cherry picking”, then that’s admitting there is other stuff out there they could have chosen from. Let’s see the list!
The MSM is supporting the whistleblower?
Warning, warning, warning, it’s a psyop and not a very good one.
When it comes to bad operations, my money is on the fbi.
Different Tim — Doesn’t “cherry picking” imply that whatever is being used as an example is so statistically one-off that it’s considered a true outlier? That’s how I take FB’s meaning. They’re using the term to deflect; not from other stuff, but from the revealed stuff.
It’s telling that Zucker, Bezo, and other tech titans don’t allow their own kids to use their products.
I saw PhotoBucket as a threat and never signed up to reveal every facet of my life to the world. I’ve always thought that those that did were either misguided, vain, stupid, or all of the former mentioned.
