Fired data sicientist sends sweeping internal Facebook memo: “I have blood on my hands”

Nice lack of context...

Nice lack of intelligence

here, let me help you, in case you didn't read the article and clicked on the link in second senctence for clearly more information you can probably comprehend:

Facebook ignored or was slow to act on evidence that fake accounts on its platform have been undermining elections and political affairs around the world, according to an explosive memo sent by a recently fired Facebook employee and obtained by BuzzFeed News.

The 6,600-word memo, written by former Facebook data scientist Sophie Zhang, is filled with concrete examples of heads of government and political parties in Azerbaijan and Honduras using fake accounts or misrepresenting themselves to sway public opinion. In countries including India, Ukraine, Spain, Brazil, Bolivia, and Ecuador, she found evidence of coordinated campaigns of varying sizes to boost or hinder political candidates or outcomes, though she did not always conclude who was behind them.

“In the three years I’ve spent at Facebook, I’ve found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions,” wrote Zhang, who declined to talk to BuzzFeed News. Her LinkedIn profile said she “worked as the data scientist for the Facebook Site Integrity fake engagement team” and dealt with “bots influencing elections and the like.”

6600 words? Not 6606?

i think this is a fake news story.

reason being, they want to make you think that social media impacts elections in a negative way.

they want to place laws against social media limiting it's impact on election outcomes.

claiming that misinformation damages peoples ability to vote correctly.

Faceberg is very active in disinformation campaigns and political interference and (along with twitter) running millions of fake accounts to influence elections and sway public opinion.

Faceberg quickly began censoring any information that linked Antifa to fires in OR/WA...long before any investigation was completed or the cause of the fires identified.

I think Mrs. Zhangs diatribe is kind of silly. Like who is she trying to fool? Anyone who is paying attention knows that Faceberg is a data mining and propaganda tool.

I keep telling the old lady to ditch FAKEBOOK,
but she cries, "All my friends are there!"

I told her to get new friends.

Agreed.

In the 2016 election, MSM, social media, etc was stacked against Trump. If you support Trump, the angry mob came at you, demonized you, called you a nazi, racist, sexist. Everything on FB was pro Hillary - all my liberal family and friends posted a constant stream of "orange man bad, gram 'em by the pussy" nonsense. Hek, I didn't even tell my family that I voted for Trump until about a year ago. The 2016 election was so contentious on social media that people who admitted to not voting were attacked and ostracized. As much as the left bullied, screamed, cried to vote for Hillary, to impeach Trump - they did not sway me towards their political stance. I'm not buying this fake argument that social media, FB, etc has an impact on election outcomes.

Yawn... not as if nobody knows or cares about this anymore. Lockup zuckerberg no bail and then we have a real story.

Now we know where suckerboy got his billions from. Surely it wasn't from his 'free' spacebook.

This sounds vaguely like a repaet of the fake Russian collusion story.

Repeat

Don't doubt it one iota. Not anonymously sourced also.

What? On Facebook alone you have an active DARPA AI designed to do just what you said wouldn't impact elections. The AIs only goal is to play interference for one side. Most people still using mainstream social media are normies who don't regularly visit places like this. The problem with most normies is they'll accept what's given to them because it's all they see. Point it out to them and the more curious start digging and see it for themselves. To say it has no impact is naive.

its a fake news story telling the truth???

So ... people said stuff on the internet? So freedom of speech is a problem? And the internet is a problem?

Got it.

Maybe my acc (with a fantasy name) lurked in and read the wrong groups over there, but my sense is about 90% of "users" are just copy-paste texts stolen from other places, groups and private conversations, and uploaded randomly as thread starters by a very crude algorithm (crapping out emotional baits like "my husband of 25 years has just died last night" combined with a far too young profile pic). Then never a proper reply or follow-up post, just fkn smileys, even if you hint they aren't humans. FB is crap, you can find barely any flesh and blood real ppl there.

As long as market place sells empty gun cases....in ok with stupid Facebook.

yup.

I do not trust a thing that gets filtered through sleazy click bait sites like buzzfeed.

Not a thing.

Guaranteed the agenda is to put a spin on any emerging news item to suit a narrative.

Notice how fast the bank money laundering story was forgotten?

While you may have the ability to think critically and discern obvious propaganda, surprisingly many people are incredibly gullible and prone to believe whatever they hear repeated often enough. It's a flaw in the democratic process that's been obvious since ancient Athens (just ask Socrates). Garbage in, garbage out when garbage votes.

The real story is this:
