Facebook Blocks Daily Caller Story On FBI Texts — Blames ‘Spam’ Algorithm
Daily Caller ^ | 04/27/2018 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 04/27/2018 4:11:52 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Facebook blocked users Friday from sharing a Daily Caller story on the 300 “missing” text messages between FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page that were turned over to Congress on Thursday night.

The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained and published the text messages early Friday morning. Sometime Friday afternoon, however, Facebook began blocking users from sharing the story with their friends, warning them that the story could be spam.

TheDCNF’s reporters attempted several times to post the story on Facebook after readers began complaining that Facebook wouldn’t allow them to share the story. Each time, Facebook rejected the post with a caution message.

“Our security systems have detected that a lot of people are posting the same content, which could mean that it’s spam,” Facebook told users who tried to share the story. “Please try a different post.”

Etc...

FB is begging for the coming Congressional designation as a UTILITY. Regulation soon to follow.

I deactivated FB eleven years ago (it was a hassle even back in the day) and IMO, the FB users today deserve whatever comes their way. FACIAL RECOGNITION! REALLY?

I agree that FB should be regulated as a carrier/utility, but I don't think Congress gives a rats arse about CENSORSHIP of conservatism.

Zuckerberg is a FRAUD, anyway. He is nothing more than a CIA employee posing as some smart kid who started a business from home. He is the CIA-designated front man, running cover for their globalist cabal operation designed to GET PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER ALL DETAILS OF THEIR PERSONAL LIFE to a massive database designed to track every human on Earth.

FB is nothing more than a profile-building operation of the world's citizens for the global cabal.

Stay OFF of FB. DON'T FEED THE GLOBALIST PIG!

Couldn’t agree with you more, not with this present UniParty snake pit.

As usual, these “mistakes” only go one way.

Blame it on the program ...

When I heard that one neo-commie giving excuses to Congress and saying that the facebook censorship will be more handled by algorithms to fix it, I instantly thought : Will be SOOOO Easy to blame a program (as excuse/alibi/truth-dodging) to make believe there is no intentional CENSORSHIP of people who dont beleieve as this neocommie does. Thats IS WHY the leftard said it - to cover for more lies about his leftist bias and his foisting his ideology on his customers.

But as a professional programmer and tester of programs for 30 years I can say : you have to blame the programmer - the people who say how the program design is intended to work, and those who adjust the criteria/coefficients/controlling-data which these ‘algorithms’ use (its a bunch of logic “IF this THEN dothis” which examines text. It has to be trained (programmed in this logic and constantly adjusted ) to carry out its function and tested to show it does what the company wants.

NOTE - the actual code programming for this (the basic filter operation) is trivial, the logic-data the program uses to make decisions is extensive and exactly done (and defined directly by people).

You generally DON’T deploy it until it works reasonably well (and that seems to be the case here where IT worked JUST as the leftard censor-tyrants would have wanted it to - covering up criminality/dishonesty/treason of democrats)

SIMPLE SOLUTION - BOYCOTT ALL OF THESE TRUTH HATERS YOU CANNOT TRUST THEM - they don’t care about truth but they do care about money.

DONT do any business with these frauds/liars/truth-hating tyrant-wannabees.

BTW - everything you put through these systems is NOT PRIVATE and is being looked at BY LEFTISTS like this who WILL use it to their own advantage (and are growing more arrogant day by day).

Yep, bowtie boy is a click baiter

On his show tonight, he said he likes his friend Rachael Maddow and that he used to work for MSNBC

Full of himself

It’s called The Daily Caller News Foundation

How can anyone who pretends to be a conservative like Maddow

A lying hating smirking leftist who does damage to America and the Office of The President

And Tucker likes her.
