I disagree. IMO, no news network is in Fox's league. Fox is frankly not a news network at all. It is propaganda.




Newsflash - a majority of the news networks are all owned by the same handful of individuals... it's all propaganda.

I mostly google Trump and read the news. Dont watch much tv, maybe 1 hour a day.

Anyway, try it now, Google Trump, you will get 10-15 different news sources including some foreign ones like BBC. All will have stories pointing out something ignorant or dishonest that he did, while fox will have some fluff piece about nothing. Seriously, try it.

Honestly, I don't care. I'm doing nothing illegal or of any interest to the government. They'll see a lot of pics of my kids and memes. Have at it.

ETA: This is kind of a no brainer. Nothing is anonymous on the internet. If people thought so, they're idiots.

That's your evidence that Fox is the propaganda?

Its a tad bit deeper than that...facebook tracks what you type, the websites you visit, and reads the messages you recieve, in addition to whatever you post, then analyzes it, creates an online digital profile, amd sells it to the highest bidder for their ads.

Your posts are like 2% of what they collect.

Yeah it is a little early for all this nonsense. I just find it funny that you post on a public forum about public forums being harmful to our personal lives. If the government wants to track my every move fine, all it amounts to is me working to pay bills, some pornhub searches and random text messages to friends that are harmless. A rule in law enforcement is that if your not guilty then you have nothing to hide. So why worry if your not a terrorist. Cause I'm pretty Damn sure they aren't worried about some one who's got a couple traffic tickets, stole a candy bar, etc in this country.




Because privacy is only for those with something to hide.

Assuming this is true, would you delete your Facebook account or other social media accounts? Do this change how you post on those apps/platforms?
I rarely go on FB and really only post pics of my kids for my mom and family back home to see.

So no, it wouldn't change anything for me. It's a public website, so who cares if the government is accessing public information? Is that really illegal?

Which is why I use FB for entertainment. Its a public domain, not sure why anyone would be surprised by this info.

Thanks Patriot Act. Like someone else said, it’s amazing the freedoms we are willing to give up for a false sense of security. All hail the police state.

Facebook was "weaponized" to help Trump win the election. By all accounts it was quite effective as people believed and still believe much of the garbage passed around (mostly false attacks on Clinton - pizzagate, Seth whatever his name is whose parents are now suing fox news for promoting false stories, etc). Seems a significant number of people are having some difficulty recognizing bullshite.

So as to avoid a populace influenced by both dishonest domestic (fox news) and foreign actors (russia) disinformation on Facebook is being cracked down on.
hey bud, want to take another crack at this? wouldn't want you spouting stuff that's dishonest...


The Trump campaign never used the psychographic data at the heart of a whistleblower who once worked to help acquire the data's reporting -- principally because it was relatively new and of suspect quality and value.
