60 Minutes Interviews Facebook Whistleblower
CBS News ^ | 3 Oct. 2021 | CBS News

Posted on 10/03/2021 6:43:39 PM PDT by G Larry

60 Minutes conducted an interview with a Facebook Whistleblower. She collected extensive data to ensure it couldn't be dismissed as 'isolated'. She documents on how FB thrives on anger and conflict to drive profits. While they continue to market the notion that conservative ideas equal "misinformation", look past that to the broader manipulation. Also addresses the Instagram controversy, how they knew it was hurting teen girls.

KEYWORDS: 1984; 60minutes; facebook; instagram; mkultra; whistleblower; zuckerberg
Its the lead story on the link, so if it scrolls past "60 Minutes", go to the 5 dots on the right center of the screen and click on the first dot. Its worth the 15 minutes.

She admitted they changed the algorithms for the election and then changed them back afterwards.

A lot of libs blame Zuckerberg for Trump’s win in 2016. And they have looooong memories. They likely want to install someone as FB CEO who is even more woke than he is.

Absolutely true. I've heard them. It's disgusting. They care nothing about freedom, free will, diversity of thought, or anything other than their very narrow and pathetic world view.

Mark Zuckerberg and the executives at Facebook all need to be arrested and charged for every penny of their illegal payment-in-kind political contributions.

“their very narrow and pathetic world view.”

Liberals are so narrow minded, their note pads are 2mm wide.

I am watching the 60 Minutes interview now. Her claim is that FB is not doing enough to combat “hate, misinformation and divisive content”. So, yeah, she is shilling for moar censorship.

She is not a whistle blower. She is an activist with a secret agenda. It would also not surprise me if she is CIA, FBI or some other three-letter creature. Probably always has been.

The whole “whistleblower” thing has been taken over by the left to get stories into the media that wouldn’t other wise stand up to scrutiny. It also hides the agenda of the source. “I’m doing this only because I want the truth to get out.”

That is correct; she was the head censor and she is calling for more censorship.
