Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Senator Josh Hawley: "given Facebook’s long record of evasions, misstatements, half truths & outright falsehoods, I'd be very careful rehearsing their talking points, no matter how much $$ they give you"I'd be very interested in Congress demanding answers about who Facebook, Twitter, and Google are paying quietly -- calling them something like "consultants" or something -- to carry their water in "conservative" media. I'd be very, very interested in seeing that. I think we'd all be very unsurprised to find out whose names are on that payoff list. Hawley addresses this to Erick Erickson, though I don't know that he intended the entire series of tweets, including the warning about taking FaceBook cash, to be specifically addressed to Erickson. Sure would like subpeonas to find out who FaceBook, Google, and Twitter are paying.

Per NYT: Facebook "has quietly developed software to suppress posts from appearing in peoples news feeds in specific geographic areas"
-- Wow, way to go, NYT. It's been happening at the micro level in the US for years. Get unpersoned and your posts will still show up on facebook, but no one else sees them. Everything looks normal on your end, though. Just zero replies. You have to view it from another computer (ip?) to see that you've been disappeared.

>>The funniest part would be Facebook thinking that Erick Erickson was influential enough to buy.
Eh, I think this might be similar to what the MSM news does: they pick some not-very-conservative who happily criticizes Republicans/conservatives (while going light on Dems/lefties) and make them their house conservative in political roundtables/political discussion shows. As a result, they shut out real conservative ideas and arguments while giving the appearance of including a "conservative" voice. Erik is preferable to a real conservative, he's window dressing for excluding conservatives. Posted by: Lizzy at October 18, 2019 01:27 PM (bDqIh) 52

And then it turned out that Facebook was more or less making up out of whole cloth the engagement numbers on video and using that for advertising.

Posted by: Easy Andy at October 18, 2019 01:38 PM (4ugnK) At my age, I never really got the social media thing. In fact, my partner in VC talked to me about doing a competitor to myspace, and I just didn't get it. Myspace really started as a music site, and meant to hook up musicians. It was never designed to do what it wound up doing. All Zuck saw was his friends coming up with some really good ideas and swiped everything. Build a better mousetrap and all that. And they got it out first. The valley is full of firms that ripped off their tech, or developed it at Stanford or MIT using their money and then walked out the door. While I have no doubt there's been better ideas, it's hard to tell because these companies come along and squash you one way or another. And we've seen with the companies that do steer clear of selling out - big tech makes life for them very hard indeed. Posted by: clutch cargo at October 18, 2019 01:46 PM (Z1ykJ) 142

Sen. Hawley is a natural successor to President Trump, for starters.
OF COURSE Erickson is on the take. After he utterly destroyed his brand with his Never Trump bullshit, he periodically would announce he was unable to attend X event although he very wanted much to do so (why someone would want him is another issue). In other words, Erickson didn't have the jack to fly and travel on his own dime. It would be delicious to see who all Zuckerberg has greased. Now from one non-sequitur to another: how in the Hell is it even possible for American corporations to facilitate cultural and outright genocide in China? Because make no mistake, this is exactly what is happening with Big Tech and others. We wouldn't allow corporations to develop Zyclon B gas, I think/hope, to conduct another Holocaust, so why this? We all know the reason: the same forces of evil in D.C. that should prevent it also have been greased by China, with a few exceptions like Hawley. When the postscript to the United States is written in the not-too-distant future, how China utterly corrupted the nation in its end stages will loom large. The rope literally was sold.

A megalomaniac driving the company? Who knows. Instagram is a perfect example. It was a hoot at first (the ONLY social media I've ever used) and they were developing and making advancements pretty quickly. FB buys them and boom! No changes, no improvements, only dragging it down. With crappy algorithms everybody complains about. The feed goes from chronological to what they think is the most interesting content. Force fed crap. Now, they're starting to ban hashtags - the hashtags that were the raison d'etre for IG to begin with! And, they don't tell you. You need to check to make sure it's not been banned, or you get shadowbanned. Happened to me several times. Plus, they start ganging up on you. Don't for a second believe Amazon isn't talking to FB talking to google talking to PayPal. Posted by: clutch cargo at October 18, 2019 01:54 PM (Z1ykJ) 177

IIRC, facebook created an app development toolkit, which many (most?) app developers use. Embedded in the base code is code that enables sharing of the app user's data. As a result, saying "don't use facebook" is silly. Even if you've never signed up for facebook, you're likely transmitting your data to them via various apps without even knowing it. Heck, I'm not sure people who use their toolkit understood that stealth tracking code was in there. Posted by: Lizzy at October 18, 2019 02:14 PM (bDqIh) 248

At Althouse, a post about the benevolent Chinese Reeducation of the Uighurs. You don't want to read the linked article if you are squeamish.
https://tinyurl.com/yyb7gewk Ace? You may want to post on this. Posted by: rd at October 18, 2019 01:47 PM (+0uDE) Uighurs are muslims, so basically my give-a-fuck meter is broken. If China confined their oppression to them, and left the Christians alone, they'd be jake with me. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 18, 2019 02:21 PM (QugKX) 266

Remember the next time you hear a Never Trump paid whore holding forth that he or she was working to elect a crazed woman who is literally mentally ill.

As a result, saying "don't use facebook" is silly.
Even if you've never signed up for facebook, you're likely transmitting your data to them via various apps without even knowing it. Heck, I'm not sure people who use their toolkit understood that stealth tracking code was in there. Posted by: Lizzy at October 18, 2019 02:14 PM (bDqIh) Oh yeah, you're toast regardless. It's just like my email. I use my own server. But, I'm using their infrastructure at some point, and chances are about 90% unless I'm communicating with somebody in my company or using a VPN to somebody else with their own private account (corporate or otherwise), it's a gmail.com, yahoo.com, outlook.com, hotmail.com address, so what does it matter? It's being read and stored. As I've mentioned dozens of times - if you've got an android, and install an app for something as benign as a carpenter's level - why does it ask for access to your camera, to your mic, to your photo roll, to your contacts? What could it possibly do with any of that stuff? Yet people blithely click yes to everything. If you buy on amazon, FB knows everything. If you use FB or IG and mention a product either on a post or in a DM, Amazon will be serving you an ad on that product, or show it to you on your home page next time you visit.

Posted by: Lizzy at October 18, 2019 02:14 PM (bDqIh) ---------------------------------- I'm guessing the people who used the apple toolkit knew that the tracking code was in there, and they were ok with it because they were going to make money off of it. The problem is that FB collects data on you even if you don't have a FB account and have never opened a page in FB. They're interested in you even if you aren't interested in them. All the big tech players know who we are. I think the Trump Reelection Campaign could make a lot of hay by using this as the 2020 slogan, just as Build The Wall was the 2016 slogan. Stop The Surveillance! Use the power of the federal govt to crush the tech monopolies once and for all, and give people back their private data, and the right to say NO NO NO to any tech company who wants to swipe it.

Severely heterosexual Spartacus Booker's girlfriend Rosario Dawson says he read a 250-plus-page novel about World War II to her over the phone. I assume it was Sven Hassel's Legion of the Damned.

"263 This HRC comment about Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein being Russian agents easily is the most unhinged thing from the Establishment Left yet.
That's a settled fact amongst the Dems' online base. If someone actually reported this sort of thing besides OAN the Dems would be polling worse than syphilis." Jesus H.

Just to clarify who's the tail and who's the dog
here: Google is an ad company that offers free stuff in order to collect data on people. They're not a search company or a web apps company or a browser company or a phone manufacturer. Hence their history of trying things and then abandoning them if they aren't feeding enough data into AdSense. Posted by: Ian S. at October 18, 2019 02:14 PM (ZGrMX) That's only one facet of Alphabet. Google does indeed make phones (the Pixel), they make the largest smartphone OS (android), have a browser that collects everything - even in incognito mode (that's only so your spouse can't see your browsing history), have several mapping apps, own Nest (which ideally controls your entire home with thermostat, lighting etc) and the list goes on. Certainly part of their income is from adsense and others, but they're also bundling this information and selling to whoever wants it. Chicoms included. What can they sell you by knowing you've been to Atlanta twice this year, or visit your mother in Pleasant View every Thursday? Or that you like to set your thermostat at 72 Saturday mornings but not Sunday? Yet all of this is logged and stored. They're saving this data for who knows what nefarious purposes in the future. Google is the single scariest company on the planet. /tinfoil-off Posted by: clutch cargo at October 18, 2019 02:34 PM (Z1ykJ) 277
