FaceBook Objected to Biden's Demands for Censorship, But Censored Vax Skeptics Anyway, <i>Because They Need the Government's Help in Protecting Their Consumer Spying Operations in Europe</i>

FaceBook Objected to Biden's Demands for Censorship, But Censored Vax Skeptics Anyway, Because They Need the Government's Help in Protecting Their Consumer Spying Operations in Europe

FaceBook's whole business model is "data-mining" their customers and then selling that data to advertisers.

Europe has been attempting to ban the process.

FaceBook has long supported leftwing Democrats, both with direct donations and $350 million+ investments in ballot harvesting and GOTV efforts in Democrat districts. And they were now calling on the Democrats they lease-with-an-option-to-buy to defend them against Europe's attempts to bring the FaceBook data-mining operations to heel.

When Joe Biden demanded that FaceBook censor people talking about their covid vax injuries, FaceBook objected, pointing out that attempting to censor such stories would just bring more attention to them. (They don't seem to have objected on principle, just that the censorship would not be a productive way to achieve Regime goals.)

However, they censored this material anyway. Internal emails show that FaceBook said they had more important matters at stake, specifically "data flows."

What did they mean by that? They meant they had to appease the Biden Administration so that the Biden Administration would protect their data-mining operations around the world. These are the "data flows" they meant -- the data flowing from FaceBook users to FaceBook and then to advertisers.

And David French continues insisting that Biden is merely "jawboning" social media companies to censor conservatives and other dissenters, and has every constitutional right to do so.

The indispensable Michael Shellenberger:

The Biden White House did not violate the First Amendment when it requested that Facebook censor information on Covid's origin and vaccine side effects, say many policymakers, journalists, and legal experts. Rather, White House officials were simply expressing their free speech rights, and Facebook executives were free to ignore White House requests.
But newly released internal emails show that Facebook executives felt pressure to comply with White House demands in order to resolve a European Union ban on the social media company's ability to transfer the data of European users to its servers in the United States.
In July 2021, after a White House official demanded that Facebook censor more information, Facebook's Vice President of Global Affairs and Communications, Nick Clegg, asked his colleagues to comply. The reason? Because of "the bigger fish we have to fry with the Administration -- data flows etc..."
By "data flows," Clegg was referring to the EU's demand that Facebook stop transferring European user data -- which Facebook advertisers value for targeting customers -- to the United States.
The dispute was no small matter. In May of this year, EU regulators fined Meta, Facebook's parent company, a record $1.3 billion for breaking the EU's privacy regulations. The regulator said that Meta had violated a 2020 ruling by the EU's highest court.
Two months later, on July 10, 2023, the Biden Administration and European Union announced a deal, the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework."
The series of events suggests a quid pro quo. Facebook would bow to White House requests for censorship in exchange for its help with the European Union.
"This is a gross violation of the First Amendment," Columbia Law School Professor Philip Hamburger told Public, "not only because it involves what the Supreme Court considers 'coercion,' but also because it's equally unconstitutional for the government to seek censorship through contract or conspiracy. And that's what happened here."
The White House wasn't the only entity demanding that Facebook censor. NGOs and journalists from NBC and the New York Times were also pressuring Facebook to censor more. In response, Facebook executives weighed the radical "blackholing" measure, which blocks links to external web sites without informing users.
But it's clear from the newly released emails that Facebook executives felt the greatest pressure from the White House and that they feared the White House would hurt them in other ways.
Until now, critics of government demands for greater Facebook censorship have focused on the White House's threat to revoke Facebook's Section 230 status, which immunizes the company from many forms of liability.
But the new emails point to a form of government leverage over the platform that has been ignored until now: the EU demand on Facebook to stop data flows from the EU to the US, and the conditional willingness of the White House to push back against it.

This is the final proof needed to establish that FaceBook was acting as an agent of the United States in censoring the Regime's enemies. There wasn't merely the threat of stripping their s.230 protection. (Or the threat, which I always mention, that the government will stop protecting these illegal monopolies and tart prosecuting them.)

There was also a direct bribe, a straight payoff: Censor for us and we'll fight for your right to mine the personal information of your users for advertising use.

FaceBook straight-up makes that connection themselves: "we have bigger fish to fry with the [Biden] Administration... data flows..."

They admit in their internal emails that they didn't want to buck the Biden Administration on censorship because they needed their help in protecting their core business of selling user information.

And David French continues babbling that this is just a case of the US government asking a completely-independent third party to please ban some "disinformation"...

And so, frankly, does the treasonous, vile corporate wing of the GOP.

Also very important: It was the criminal news media which was demanding the White House in turn apply pressure on social media companies to censor conservatives and vaccine dissidents.

I've long pointed out that CNN and NBC, in particular, maintain what I call "Deplatforming Officers." It is the job of the arrogant, face-missing-a-fist fascist Ben Collins at NBC to make demands that more and more Americans be censored and silenced. It was the job of Brian Stelter to do that at CNN; now the job is wholly in control of his former Junior Deplatforming Officer, Oliver Darcy.

They have no other job. Their jobs consist of finding people that liberals want to #Cancel and then using all the power of billion-dollar media companies to pressure social media platforms to cancel them.

[W]hy was the Biden White House so determined to censor Facebook in the first place?
Until the Facebook Files, the answer had been that they wanted people to take the vaccine. The White House believed all the anti-vaccine information on Facebook was contributing to "vaccine hesitancy."
But now, the Facebook Files reveal that Facebook executives knew censoring disfavored vaccine views would backfire and explained to White House officials that censoring such views would violate established norms around freedom of speech. But the White House demanded more censorship, anyway.
...
"We are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the white house and the press, to remove more COVID-19 vaccine-discouraging content," [FaceBook employee] Birch wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg in an April 2021 email.
Facebook executive Nick Clegg initially attempted to defend his staff. "I countered that removing content like that would represent a significant incursion into traditional boundaries of free expression in the US," wrote Clegg.

Clegg wrote that given what is at stake -- which we can assume included those precious "data flows" -- it was critical that FaceBook bow to the Biden Administration's demands.

But he eventually caved in. "Given what is at stake here," he wrote, "it would also be a good idea if we could regroup to take stock of where we are in our relations with the WH [White House], and our internal methods too."

The gross and ancient toad Taylor Lorenz also spends a lot of her time dialing up social media companies' officers and demanding the censor her enemies.

Some guy called me on my cell phone and was ranting about why I'd called him, and just stop it.

Posted by: Divide by Zero

There are a few reasons.
First, it is an intermediate trade discount. Many of the card users are contractors and this attracts that business. IOW, they can charge more without discouraging trade customers.
Second, brand loyalty and retention. If they give you a discount you are more likely to just go there and not shop around. Businesses spend a lot more to attract customers into the store and it pays - each visit to a physical store results in unnecessary purchases. Worse is if you go to the Despot and decide they are better.

In reality, they are not giving you a discount, they are charging the riff raff 5% more. They know what they are doing.

Most people pay via CC anyway and the business has to eat the 3-5 percent from Amex, Master Card, Visa, anyway. So, retailers prefer you use their card and they make money on the side from interest rates from those that do not pay off their balance.

This, when we were just starting out we had big credit card balances. Over time we fixed that problem and have not carried any balances on our CC in the last 20 years, I pay it off as soon as the charge appears.

I do know people who run a balance every month and just pay the minimum payment. That 20% interest they are paying covers the losses the CC company suffers from the few people who pay off their balance every month.

If it wasn't it would have been a quick fad and died off after a surge of people tried it and reported failure. Because that's how it works. If it wasn't effective there was no need to censor, because people would immediately figure it out on their own.

Instead they censored it and pretended there was no treatment so that your friends and family members would die.

Carrying a balance is even worse than most people think. If you pay up every month, you get a month's grace on the next month's charges.

If you run a balance, they start assessing you interest the nanosecond you make the charge. No grace period.

It was two 15 minute phone calls to my Parents' doctors to get them to prescribe more than 600 units of Vitamin D when COVID hit.

This was after the doctors prescribed megadoses of Vitamin D to them in the last two years because their Vitamin D levels were so low. They had zinc from their Eye Vitamins and lots of vitamin C.

Personally, I think it worked. They never had a positive COVID test at their assisted living facility.

311 Don't just stop at a fake name. It'd be super easy to lard up Fuckerberg's privacy nightmare service with all kinds of garbage data.

At the other end, Optery and some other services allow you to delete a lot of what data they sell to others via requests. Makes your profile less valuable to them. But ratty data chokes a lot of databases.

312 These are the "data flows" they meant -- the data flowing from FaceBook users to FaceBook and then to advertisers.

Except Democrats are shameless hypocrites. They will NOT hesitate to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law--up to and including the death penalty where available--any Republican attempting to cheat in their cities.

Baby brother pissed out a kidney stone on the wall of one of Saddam's palaces (he did the Forrest Gump thing and drank like 6 Dr. Peppers). Buddies all took pics, of course.

You peeps who like woodpeckers obviously don't have cedar or redwood siding. One neighbor had to replace all his siding, another has lost one side of his home. They're probably some sort of 'protected' species so the obvious solution of taking them out with a hollow point BB is out the window.

Thousands of trees around and they destroy siding. No love.

I hate Zoom anyway as insecure but you can also cheat and mess up their data acquisition by using digital makeup, virtual machines, and other things to prevent data acquisition.

Some of that is drumming behavior and there are some peaceful ways of discouraging them just like the evil carpenter bees.

A friend, who has never owned or fired a gun of any kind, went out and bought a scoped Crossman pellet rifle, just for that purpose.
