Break Them Up

1. The writer in the post states that the Facebook stunt — of blurring the presidential seal — “will bounce back on Facebook legally and civilly”. Not really. The corporate media cartel have already agreed to censor this finding. Mustn’t help out Trump, you know.

2. Yet more evidence that they are in fact a publisher. Not just some platform provider.

   Editorial control opens you to tort.

3. Next White House press conference, the staff should place a blurry image over the presidential seal to make life easier for Facebook.

4. It is a 18 minute video, I don t have unllimited internet access, can not watch the whole thing, at what time can I see the blurred out seal?

5. Some “cheeky” stunt by a Fackebook employee who proudly declares … NOT MY President. Sure, right … Sorry, the organism ROTS from the inside-out, and Fackebook is ROTTEN to the CORE … esp. the two most senior executives.

   1. Exactly. Mark Zuckerberg is a thief, a swindler, and a traitor, to the American nation and Jewish people alike.

      Nationalize Facebook, and drop Zuck, his Chinese whore and the mongrel he sired with her into the Atlantic Ocean.

6. Conservatives and the Internet. A evergreen source of amusement.

   There’s no malice here. Seriously, you people seem to think Facebook is three guys in a room somewhere monitoring every FB Live video feed in the world and deciding in real-time whether to **** with it.

   What’s actually happening is that thanks to the batsh*t insane copyright legislation the EU recently passed, you can get nailed for displaying anything that’s even remotely copyrighted – if any of you understood how the Internet works, you’d have heard something about the EU “banning memes” earlier this year.

   Guess what’s copyrighted? Network TV logos, which stay in the same spot on the screen all the time, and which FB, under EU law, doesn’t have the right to rebroadcast. Yes, that’s incredibly asinine. It’s the EU. QED.

   So FB has developed machine learning technology that detects and automatically blurs out anything it thinks is a superimposed logo in a video – like the presidential seal, or the White House, er, *logo* in the upper right corner.

   This is exactly what you guys keep saying you want: Big Social Media being brought to heel by government legislation. Something something unintended consequences…

   1. Conservatives and butthurt are the true evergreen sources of entertainment. Whiniest people in existence.

7. Canadian Friend:

   The 18-minute YouTube video does not blur out the seal. Only the 1-minute Facebook video does. Presumably the YouTube video was provided for reference.
