Worth noting this outtage came out just after a Whistleblower came out to talk. And said Whistle blower glows really bright. She says Facebook "turned off the civility control too soon" after the election and THAT caused Jan 6th. Meaning she wanted Facebook to censor more and was bitching that they let people talk freely. She has also donated a lot of money to DNC funds and even AOC.

Definitely convenient timing for the site to crash...maybe a little too convenient

It's not a regular outage. Entire sections of the DNS are just GONE. This is big.


Yep. They might have to resort to restoring from tape/off site backups if they have them. Hilarious.

If they don't have them, someone is going to have to manually restore this shit. And with the network down they probably can't access the documentation.

What a shit show.

Looks like service is slowly restoring. Got 0% packet loss on pings. App loaded some new notifications, and I can get to the home page. News feed still not updating, and VERY slow load times.

Despite all of its shittiness I feel like Facebook's senior leadership is the least woke and progressive of the major Tech companies and honestly despite its market share, the one with the most competition and biggest target by Liberals in the government.

I find Twitter, Amazon, Google and Apple all far more insidious on behalf of the liberal and progressive agenda.

Nah, they are just as bad. They still hid the Hunter Biden story, they still censor covid information that doesn't meet the narrative, they ban Project Veritas videos and they do shadow bans where people don't see your posts.

They're just as bad as the rest.

What they have, is a more conservative user base. Mainly due to all the boomers on there who don't mess with other social media.

But they still do what they can to stifle the right. when actual important news comes around, they stifle it just like the others.

No I think Twitter for example is far worse. Twitter has cultivated a user base that has literally created new verbs and nouns circling around the idea of "Twitter 'xxx' Mobs." They're the ones that have led the charge in shadow banning and censorship and banning of wrong thinkers on their social media platform ranging from the New York Post's Hunter Biden story to numerous politicians from around the world, namely President Trump.

Facebook has done similar yes, but not to the scale or proportion that Twitter has. And Facebook has been reactive to government pressure while Twitter has been proactive in their censorship. Keep in mind that Facebook has had repeated in house rebellions over their lack of content moderation and scrutiny of largely "right wing" content. Nothing comparable has happened with Twitter as far as I know. Lizard Person CEO Mark Zuckerberg has spoken before Congress on what he feels (and IMHO words I agree with) when it comes to Free Speech on Facebook and was excorciated for it by Congress, the Press and those Twitter Hate Mobs.

Twitter if it was a State would be the most liberal in the Union. Twitter is the primary news source for much of Black America. Twitter, by distilling dialogue into 140 characters and retweets and blue checkmarks has managed to ruin the dialogue and national conversation in the media faaaaaaaaaaaar more then Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram or whatever other social media one uses. And it does so knowingly and willfully.

I think Apple is almost in the same category, their handling of their Walled Garden in purging apps (which Google and Amazon (via servers) does as well) such as Parler and Apple as well as supporting groups like the SPLC on an official basis, and being the foremost advocate of more tech visas to displace US Tech Workers and shilling for China where they keep your information private on their Chinese servers and much, much more.

Google less so, but while YouTube still has some edge to it, thanks to activism from companies like Vox and the like, YouTube and it's community has been censored though just not as heavily as Twitter does. And like Apple they advance just as many progressive causes.

I'd actually put Facebook in the category of most of the corporations, in that they'll be just as woke as they need to be to the government and public to make more money. But I don't think they are as vociferously advocating the progressive agenda as much as Apple, Google and especially Twitter. I'd put them in the same category as Microsoft or Sony or even Netflix or whatever. Liberal or progressive in some respects, but still not to the degree of the above companies which want to engage in true social engineering and generational change bullshit on behalf of an actual liberal progressive agenda.

It might not be a big difference to you or whatever, but I think it's a distinction worth pointing out. Almost all of the Big Tech companies are bad, but some are still far worse then others. I would gladly take Facebook over Twitter a dozen times over. If Twitter was to disappear forever, the world in general would be incredibly better off for it. Far more then the removal of any of the other Big Tech or social media companies by far IMHO. Imagine a world where CancelCulture and Social Media Outrage doesn't have Twitter to fuel it. People would have to call or text or DM crap all over again instead of RT'd hashtag bullshit by verified blue checkmarks.

Without largely Twitter based hate mobs and a Congress that encourages crony capitalism for leftist causes in Big Tech, Facebook would just be another normal selfish megacorporation like Microsoft was. Twitter, Apple, Amazon and Google, what they are now is what they want to be and probably even worse.

I say this as a person who has barely ever used their Facebook account that it might as well be a cemetery but uses Twitter to RT BS by blue checkmarks regularly and uses basic ass YouTube as my main viewing channel and has an android phone.

I am telling you, this shit is all a excuse for the government to just take over the "civility enforcement" of Big Tech for themselves

When was the last time something like this EVER happened? Does Veritas ever get any attention like this? Then again, Veritas doesn't have a PR firm who got to help impeach a president on his side...

Veritas is currently having every video they post removed lol

It's SO FUCKING OBVIOUS what they're doing, but most people just don't care.

The people who care won't fall for it, the propaganda is meant to reinforce the people who already buy into it into keeping their faith in the system. It's useless against us because we are not the target.

They don't care if we don't believe it, they will just label us terrorists anyway.

Democrats and Media Do Not Want to Weaken Facebook, Just Commandeer its Power to Censor

Notable points:

Agitating for more online censorship has been a leading priority for the Democratic Party ever since they blamed social media platforms (along with WikiLeaks, Russia, Jill Stein, James Comey, The New York Times, and Bernie Bros) for the 2016 defeat of the rightful heir to the White House throne, Hillary Clinton. And this craving for censorship has been elevated into an even more urgent priority for their corporate media allies, due to the same belief that Facebook helped elect Trump but also because free speech on social media prevents them from maintaining a stranglehold on the flow of information by allowing ordinary, uncredentialed serfs to challenge, question and dispute their decrees or build a large audience that they cannot control. Destroying alternatives to their failing platforms is thus a means of self-preservation: realizing that they cannot convince audiences to trust their work or pay attention to it, they seek instead to create captive audiences by destroying or at least controlling any competitors to their pieties.

As I have been reporting for more than a year, Democrats do not make any secret of their intent to co-opt Silicon Valley power to police political discourse and silence their enemies.
.....

A Pew survey from August shows that Democrats now overwhelmingly support internet censorship not only by tech giants but also by the government which their party now controls. In the name of "restricting misinformation,” more than 3/4 of Democrats want tech companies "to restrict false info online, even if it limits freedom of information,” and just under 2/3 of Democrats want the U.S. Government to control that flow of information over the internet.

And regarding the possibility of government content moderation standards that FB has called for:

Far from threatening Facebook and Google, such a legal change could be the greatest gift one can give them, which is why their executives are often seen calling on Congress to regulate the social media industry. Any legal scheme that requires every post and comment to be moderated would demand enormous resources — gigantic teams of paid experts and consultants to assess "misinformation” and "hate speech” and veritable armies of employees to carry out their decrees. Only the established giants such as Facebook and Google would be able to comply with such a regimen, while other competitors — including large but still-smaller ones such as Twitter — would drown in those requirements. And still-smaller challengers to the hegemony of Facebook and Google, such as Substack and Rumble, could never survive. In other words, any attempt by Congress to impose greater content moderation obligations — which is exactly what they are threatening — would destroy whatever possibility remains for competitors to arise and would, in particular, destroy any platforms seeking to protect free discourse. That would be the consequence by design, which is why one should be very wary of any attempt to pretend that Facebook and Google fear such legislative adjustments.

Exactly what I said. This entire thing is just a massive push to get rid of troublesome middle man Zuckerberg who is just not good enough at following orders, and some worry might actually be coming close to developing a conscience.

Of course, taking control directly would mean that they won't be able to control it legally since that would violate the 1st, but we all know they don't give the slightest shit about that. They will just lie and say it's the "algorithm".
