Some Facebook users have recently reported being sent warning messages from the social media giant relating to “extremists” or “extremist content.”
“Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist?” one message reads. “We care about preventing extremism on Facebook. Others in your situation have received confidential support.”
The message also provides a button to “Get Support,” which leads to another Facebook page about extremism.
Redstate editor Kira Davis, who said was sent a screenshot of the message from a friend, wrote: “Hey has anyone had this message pop up on their FB? My friend (who is not an ideologue but hosts lots of competing chatter) got this message twice. He’s very disturbed.”

And others reported getting a warning that they may have been “exposed to harmful extremist content recently.” The message then states that “violent groups try to manipulate your anger and disappointment,” similarly offering a “Get Support” option.
“Facebook randomly sent me this notice about extremism when I clicked over to the app. Pretty weird. … The Get Support button just goes to a short article asking people not to be hateful,” another user on Twitter wrote.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times on July 1 that the company is currently running the warnings as a test to some users. . . . .

But FB could do something about that HACKER/SPAMMER trying to sign into my Facebook account every other day by the name of “namuulor” I would appreciate it because every day I go look at my spam and there’s a message... Again somebody’s trying to thwart my password?
Is there a forwarding address I could send these nagging posts?
Dump FB!
Stop feeding the beast!
Yes exactly.
If we can’t even sacrifice Facebook in this fight for the country’s soul, then we are worse off than I thought.
Only useful idiots have a facebook account.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and all the other tech tyrants are like China. We built the relationships and could end them easily as the enemies that they are but America fuels them. Even some on here won’t ever dump Facebook because their life is on it. It’s quite sad.
Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, George Orwell was either a time-traveler or he just had incredible prescience. We are all subversives and counter-revolutionaries now!
Facebook users are reporting today that warnings and alerts are showing up on their feeds notifying them they may have been “exposed to extremist content.” The alerts provide users the option to “Get Support” from some entity that will assist them in deprogramming the unauthorized thoughts that may have followed exposure.
It is easy to see where this ideological control mechanism is going. Big Tech doesn’t want comrade citizens exposed to thoughts and opinions that might run counter to the approved worldview of the totalitarian state. It’s actually quite remarkable to see this so publicly pushed, and see them so open about it.
Obviously a visit to the wrong website (your internet travel obviously being tracked by the command and control authorities) will likely trigger the warning. Visit The Conservative Tree House and receive a warning upon exit “you have been exposed to harmful extremist content”.
I think back to that scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey when Dave Bowman is trying to stop the computer system HAL-9000 (artificial intelligence) from controlling his behavior, control his spacecraft, and ultimately killing him: “Dave, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that”…
Yikes, this approach from Big Tech is creepy as hell.
On the positive side of this, the effort is resoundingly going to backfire amid a larger segment of the younger population, they are already using subversive accounts like Fleebook, Flinsta and Fleet to avoid detection amid their online activity. The rebel alliance will only become more slippery and more focused on the need to approach everything with the insurgency mindset.
Regardless of how much Big Tech, Big Intel and Big Government synergize in their efforts to control human behavior, the Rebel Alliance ultimately wins every long-term contest. History proves this to be true. The need for freedom is still an inherent and underlying human condition amid the majority.
As Mike Vanderboegh said so eloquently:
“We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it. And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later.”
“Dump FB!
Stop feeding the beast!”
Why? I enjoy looking at the beast and poking it in the eyeball.
It's fun and satisfying using one of the Left's primary weapons against truth and reality against it.
I was just banned for a week for being critical of "Pride." I simply listed the medical problems gays deal with due to their extreme sexual practices like insane promiscuity, fisting, felching, rimming and piss drinking. I also spoke of the FACT that gays suffer from STDs, drug addiction and suicide far in excess of straights. Spoke of the FACT that gay men's lives are significantly shorter than straight men's because of these practices and then said, "So why is this dangerous lifestyle, one engaged in by approximately 2% of any given population, being presented by the leftwing media, leftwing politicians and gay activists as ubiquitous; something to be proud of and to emulate.
Bingo - within five minutes of posting it FB's "hate speech" algo flagged it and off to jail I went.
Because, at Facebook, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.
That is classic. Posted on FB for a rhetorical poke in the eye.
That’s pretty good.
I dumped FB right after the floyd riots started when.i realized that it simply isnt worth it.
Amen! Get off Facebook NOW!!
I’m concerned that Mark Zuckerberg may be a puppet of the CCP,
Use it to report any liberal you know.
“ I have an FB account solely for trolling the Left…”
I also have an alias account. I haven’t checked it for awhile, but I probably have this message there waiting for me.
I wonder if FR FB is on Suckerberg’s list? Well, I’m not wondering too much about that.
