I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Facebook's Zuckerberg Reveals 7-Point Plan To Eradicate "Misinformation"

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a message for his billion-plus users: "you're not capable of deciding for yourself what is 'news' and what is not, so we will do it for you."

Facebook has been widely blamed - by the left-leaning mainstream media - for allowing the spread of online misinformation, amusingly much of it pro-Trump, but Zuckerberg has rejected the notion that Facebook influenced the outcome of the election or that fake news is a major problem on the service.

"Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99 percent of what people see is authentic," he wrote in a blog post on Saturday. "Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes."

Which is why we found it odd that since such "a very small amount" of Facebook is "fake", why the left-leaning CEO would draft up his 7-point plan for eradicating "misinformation" from the social network (via Facebook)...

A lot of you have asked what we're doing about misinformation, so I wanted to give an update. The bottom line is: we take misinformation seriously. Our goal is to connect people with the stories they find most meaningful, and we know people want accurate information. We've been working on this problem for a long time and we take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done.

Historically, we have relied on our community to help us understand what is fake and what is not. Anyone on Facebook can report any link as false, and we use signals from those reports along with a number of others -- like people sharing links to myth-busting sites such as Snopes -- to understand which stories we can confidently classify as misinformation. Similar to clickbait, spam and scams, we penalize this content in News Feed so it's much less likely to spread.

The problems here are complex, both technically and philosophically. We believe in giving people a voice, which means erring on the side of letting people share what they want whenever possible. We need to be careful not to discourage sharing of opinions or to mistakenly restrict accurate content. We do not want to be arbiters of truth ourselves, but instead rely on our community and trusted third parties.

While the percentage of misinformation is relatively small, we have much more work ahead on our roadmap. Normally we wouldn't share specifics about our work in progress, but given the importance of these issues and the amount of interest in this topic, I want to outline some of the projects we already have underway:

Stronger detection. The most important thing we can do is improve our ability to classify misinformation. This means better technical systems to detect what people will flag as false before they do it themselves.

Easy reporting. Making it much easier for people to report stories as fake will help us catch more misinformation faster.

Third party verification. There are many respected fact checking organizations and, while we have reached out to some, we plan to learn from many more.

Warnings. We are exploring labeling stories that have been flagged as false by third parties or our community, and showing warnings when people read or share them.

Related articles quality. We are raising the bar for stories that appear in related articles under links in News Feed.

Disrupting fake news economics. A lot of misinformation is driven by financially motivated spam. We're looking into disrupting the economics with ads policies like the one we announced earlier this week, and better ad farm detection.

Listening. We will continue to work with journalists and others in the news industry to get their input, in particular, to better understand their fact checking systems and learn from them.

Some of these ideas will work well, and some will not. But I want you to know that we have always taken this seriously, we understand how important the issue is for our community and we are committed to getting this right.


So to clarify, Facebook will make it easier for any Tom, Dick, Or Harriet to complain about a story that will necessarily cut the revenues from that entity and will rely on 'fact-checking' organizations, establishment 3rd parties, and the mainstream media for input.

Well what could go wrong?

As we noted previously, while Facebook (or Google) have every right to tweak their ad policies however they see fit - especially if in the process their own ad revenue decline, as both companies retain a portion of the ad proceeds they pay out to content providers - the move is yet another step on a slippery slope, one which begins with determining just what is considered "fake news" and ends with blanket internet censorship along ideological lines.

Which we find especially ironic considering much of the "pro Clinton" press was terrified that it would be Trump who would be the one to hint at or enforce censorship. It seems the media does not need Trump for that: it can do it quite well on its own.

Anyone who believes anything on Facebook has to be an idiot. For example - my sister called me a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I had heard that Jane Fonda and Goldie Hawn had just died, on the same day. I said that's wrong and impossible. I said if that were true I would have heard it on the radio or seen it on the news. But she insisted it was true, and was quite adamant about it because she had read it on Facebook. So I just let it go. A few days later when we spoke again I asked her about it and she was embarrassed to admit that she had fallen for that fake story.

Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. can't help themselves when it comes to gossip, rumor, mis-information, and outright lies. They're all owned and staffed by libtards living in the make-believe world that progressives inhabit. They have an agenda, and the means to deliver it to the mindless masses that are addicted to their services. There's no room and no chance for any debate or even discussion of anything that strays from the left-wing mind set.

There's also no chance ever for any hint or resemblance of impartiality or neutrality in the actions they take or the money they throw around to support their ideological candidates and causes. Here's a perfect example -

Facebook is going to die.

End of story.


What did a majority of the MSM do after Trump got elected?

They doubled, tripled and quadrupled down....




No lessons learned....

All of the sudden though, Tucker Carlson is some unsung hero for Republicans lol.


I admit, Tucker is a pretty nice guy. It's just super strange to see him be almost HARD CORE TRUMP now when the only Fox News guy in Trump's corner was Hannity.

I actually believe that Tucker WANTED to be a "Trump Guy" the whole time, but that wasn't what he was paid to be.




The SAD TRUTH is that INFOWARS gets more daily traffic than MSNBC and CNN. It's on par with FOX News and growing.

But don't forget the hundreds of other non mainstream news outlets out there....

This guy, in particular, is a Satanist.

At the same time, he's not a bad guy. I don't watch his Occult stuff, or at least haven't yet, but he is self sufficient like me and wrote a book or two and just talks to people on youtube and predicted this outcome 3 months ago.



He actually is a Liberal and hates how evil Hillary was and is the first person to say IN EVERY ONE OF HIS VIDEOS how he will be the FIRST PERSON TO call Trump on bad things.



I guess Maybe I'm just getting tired of worn out Cunts from either side or sex telling me how it is when not a Goddamned one of you have your own house or future in order....




I'm not saying that Satan is the answer...

Im just saying that to any Liberal or even Conservative Cunt with an argument at me now, I'm the ONLY PERSON in the RWED who said 2 months before the election that Trump wold win and NEVER WAVERED was ME.

Me.

Me. Me.

Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me.....










Do Right, Be Right. :)

Did Anonymous just troll the CNN and Cia?

US intelligence chiefs briefed the US President-elect and outgoing President Barack Obama on the damaging allegations last week, CNN reports

o-have-compromising-personal-information-about-donald-trump/news-story/2ee7bd055aed5d21ee29e450964d7680



In the document, a source says Mr Trump hired the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Moscow, where he knew President Obama and Michelle Obama had stayed on one of their officials trips.

The source goes on to say that Mr Trump asked prostitutes to perform lewd sex acts in their room.

“According to Source D... Trump’s perverted conduct included... defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him.”

The dossier also suggests that Russian officials made various bribes in order to win influence over the celebrity billionaire, although there is no evidence that he accepted any offers.
