Facebook go BOOM

I logged into Facebook a minute ago with no problem via another account. But then when I tried logging in with this other other account, Facebook said it was down. So, then I went back to that first account I mentioned and was able to log in with no problem. This means Facebook will lie and say they are down for maintenance when they are clearly not down for maintenance.

OK, check it out.
Commenters are saying she’s a shill and this whole thing is a false flag to be used as an EXCUSE for MORE censorship and less Free speech.
They say internet freedom has been going Downhill for the last 11 years.
This is the “official story,” but it is a psyop.

They are saying this blackout has cost FB over $60 Millions in lost ad revenue for the few hours it was been down.

As for the mental state of teenagers….

I would say during the blackout, the withdrawal would have caused a nervous breakdown on those attention deprived teens.  LOL

Fake whistle blower.

And the left-wing conspiracy nuts are having a field day!

Facebook’s outage isn’t just disruptive — it’s alarming

Facebook, Instragram and WhatsApp all went down on Monday, another major setback for Facebook, as it deals with Senate hearings on child safety, a high-profile whistleblower and ongoing antitrust disputes.

So this monopolistic extreme alt-left agenda platform was down.  And what are the leftists calling for?

The U.S. must invest more in internet infrastructure and support policies that help create a stronger global internet.

Gotta spread that toxic far-left agenda/massage.

What else are they calling for?

While there’s no evidence yet that the Facebook outage was caused by a malicious cyberattack, the widespread internet outage shows us how fragile our internet ecosystem is. And it proves once again why the U.S. must invest more in internet infrastructure and support policies that help create a stronger global internet for the future.

But they are going to use it to make the government spend Billions on internet security

It’s important to note, though, that sometimes companies do not announce the full details of a cyberattack while an investigation is ongoing. Regardless of whether the Facebook shutdown was caused by mistake or malice, it is disturbing that the temporary shutdown of one single company was able to affect so much of the internet.

Hence why it is TOO big, to centralized.  This is showing exactly why having everything run by one corporation is so BAD for the internet.

Zuckerberg Loses $6 Billion in Hours as Facebook Plunges

Mark Zuckerberg’s personal wealth has fallen by more than $6 billion in a few hours…

When all you wealth is tied up in one stock, when something happens negatively, expect a hit.

On Sept. 13, the Wall Street Journal began publishing a series of stories based on a cache of internal documents, revealing that Facebook knew about a wide range of problems with its products — such as Instagram’s harm to teenage girls’ mental health and misinformation about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots — while downplaying the issues in public. The reports have drawn the attention of government officials…

Knew about but placed profits above fixing it.

What else?

Zuckerberg’s apologies have been a staple of Facebook scandals. Now, the company offers defiance.

…the company has deployed a slate of executives to mount a public defense while quibbling with the details of allegations from Frances Haugen, the former project manager who left Facebook with tens of thousands of documents. Those documents detail the company’s research into how it spreads hate, incites violence, and, through its Instagram subsidiary, contributes to teenage girls’ negative body images and suicidal thoughts.

We heard all the stories of how on Jan.6, Trump called on everyone to go home, etc. but instead FB cut off Trump, and incited the violence… all to get hits/likes, etc.

“When our work is being mischaracterized, we’re not going to apologize; we’re going to defend our record,” said Facebook spokesman Tucker Bounds.

On how you actively censor so many people, how free speech is NOT a policy they uphold, and how terrorists can use your platform(s) to spread their hate.

Haugen (the whistle blower) revealed evidence that a change in the formula Facebook uses to direct content to a user’s news feed resulted in the belief among European political parties that they had to adopt more extreme stances to reach audiences on Facebook.

She has also argued that the company’s algorithms have the effect of surfacing extreme content that entices users to click more — and generate more profit for the company — despite evidence that such tactics intensify partisan feelings and distort democratic political debate.

They are NOT a neutral corporation.  They actively suppress opinions, and will only allow their message/agenda to get out.  And I heard that many employees at FB think they have not censored enough nor have they gone left enough.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said President Biden supports “fundamental reforms” after the news reports detailing Haugen’s claims. “This is just the latest in a series of revelations about social media platforms that make clear that self-regulation is not working,” Psaki said.

OH look, another buzz word!  And once again NOTHING will be done about it.

(FB in 2017)…accompanied by a major initiative to invest resources in combating harms such as fake news and disinformation, hiring thousands of researchers and content moderators and creating a new forensic division that pursued bad actors, including foreign governments, seeking to manipulate public opinion on its service.

And we have seen how dishonest their fact checkers have been, and how they spread misinformation of the fake and debunked russian dossier and almost everything they said about Trump, how they covered up for clinton, biden, and the dems, etc.

So what is the solution?

Facebook outage shows why it needs internet sovereignty

Russian social networks reported a spike in activity during Monday’s global Facebook outage which Moscow officials said showed that Russia was right to develop its own sovereign internet platforms and social networks.

Too much power/control corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  That is the curse of being a monopolistic entity – which is what FB has become.

Facebook blamed its outage, which kept its 3.5 billion users from accessing services such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, on a faulty configuration change.

It shows how easily one small error can effect so many people across platforms and nations.

So if it was a faulty code, or a cyber attack, it only reinforces how the internet was created to be decentralized, so if one part went down, they could still communicate.

This is a lesson everyone should look at when we have corporations like FB.

They are trying to central a system that was never meant to be centralized.

So just like in the past when a corporation because too big and is crushing competition and is itself a threat, it needs to be broken apart.

This not only needs to happen, but the industry must get more regulated, as it has been shown, they CAN’T self-regulate.  They whistle-blower’s information PROVES that.
