As Facebook continues its descent into irrelevancy, at least among the younger generation, Zuckerbergs latest move is to make editorial decisions about what news content the public should be able to consume via his social media platform via hiring news credibility specialists. News credibility specialists sounds like Goebbels and Stalins wet dream if you ask me, but let that go.
Heres a quote from Facebooks ad for the job via Business Insider and Fortune:
Were seeking individuals with a passion for journalism, who believe in Facebooks mission of making the world more connected, one of the two listings reads. It continues: As a member of the team, youll be tasked with developing a deep expertise in Facebooks News Credibility Program. Youll be conducting investigations against predefined policies. Facebook would ask the specialists to help create a list of credible news organizations. That list could be used for various features on the site, from the newsfeed to its advertising system.

Maybe Hillary will head this up.
A leftist/communist filter.
They should change the name to Fakebook.

Why don’t they just call it the Ministry of Truth?
-—...Facebooks mission of making the world more connected,...-—
Connecting people by making them more isolated - got it.
Either Zuck is stupid or he thinks we’re stupid. I opt for the former.
The bad news is that this POS got away with crimes and our worthless Congress did nothing. The good news is that there really isn’t a future generation that will hold Facebook up. The kids hate it.
First Facebook will need some “credibility” before it goes out and hires a bunch of leftists to impose their new “Orwellian” thought/speech control on their users.
My advise to people is - Get the hell off of Facebook. Call someone; email someone, visit someone, but don’t put your information or views on Facebook. Somebody is going to steal it, use it, defraud you.
What will their profile be called... Pravda?
Who will open a competitor to Facebook that does it right?
Get out of Facebook and cancel my Netflix. Doing these two things will immediately make my life better.
