Surprise, surprise! The Zuck, to paraphrase, states “oops, my bad, our bad, we should have deleted that darn militia group that was flagged by multiple people”. If anyone is still yet curious as to reasons we are heading towards a somewhat “organized” civil war, I present to you, Facebook. A website of blunders which does a fabulous job of uniting right wing nut jobs with other right wing nut jobs. I mean someone had to build a website with no oversight for persons to become radicalized, right?
From CBS and WBTV:
Facebook made a mistake in not removing a militia group’s page earlier this week that called for armed civilians to enter Kenosha, Wisconsin, amid violent protests after police shot Jacob Blake, CEO Mark Zuckerberg says.
The page for the “Kenosha Guard” violated Facebook’s policies and had been flagged by “a bunch of people,” Zuckerberg said in a video posted Friday on Facebook. The social media giant has in recent weeks adopted new guidelines for removing or restricting posts from groups that pose a threat to public safety.
Facebook took the page down on Wednesday, after a 17-year-old armed civilian allegedly killed two people and wounded a third Tuesday night amid protests in Kenosha that followed the shooting of Blake, who is Black.
“It was largely an operational mistake,” Zuckerberg said. “The contractors, the reviewers, who the initial complaints were funneled to, didn’t, basically didn’t pick this up.”
So oops! We failed to pick it up! I mean it’s easy to miss when you have staff that is trained to ignore pretty much everything. And that little flag button? That is there to make YOU feel like you are making a difference because the only difference Facebook is making is a difference in the way these nut jobs no longer feel alone in this world. What could be better than meeting another lonely loser that loves to tout the 2nd amendment and play G.I. Joe with other Walmart Tactical Gear Gunnies.
If we make it to Jan 20th and Biden becomes our leader, I truly hope they put some serious regulations on this over-sized cesspool of human filth.
