This would be unbelievable if it weren’t so believable.

Good God.

When one considers any election how could you possibly control debate so that only supposedly true statements are made?

They have already been doing that for some time and worldwide. Knowing not to speak of hydroxychloroquine on my page I talked to a friend by FB messaging about it. They are politically connected in their country to the highest degree. Friends of their VP. My two FB pages where deleted 2 days later. No explanation.

“’Meta has announced it will be implementing a ‘fact checking’”

So what that means is if you post something Emperor Zuckerberg doesn’t like it will be banned.

Well of course. Big Brother does what Big Brother does. Would we expect otherwise? Anyone who uses FB to get their news is a fool. A big fat fool. However, there are a lot of fools in this world and history proves itself that “one is born every minute.”

We should all be preparing ourselves for the time when big tech, that includes the ISPs and telephone providers start filtering what we see and say.

There are currently ways to make yourself anonymous on the internet and to prevent big tech from doing this. I suspect that as big tech and big government start cracking down, more options and methods will become available to us.

“Politicians in India have also accused the Facebook platform of meddling in the country’s electoral democracy, with the social media giant reportedly giving “favourable treatment on election-related issues” to certain political groups.”

As opposed to giving “favourable treatment on election-related issues” to approved communist political groups and causes. No opposing views can be tolerated. The deplorables must follow the state approved propaganda, there can be no deviation from the plan, or else.

"1984: Winston Smith SparkNotes" Orwell's primary goal in 1984 is to demonstrate the terrifying possibilities of totalitarianism. The reader experiences the nightmarish world that Orwell envisions through the eyes of the protagonist, Winston.

In 1984 all information was given to the public by the "Ministry of Truth" which was a government agency. Winston Smith worked in the "Ministry of Truth" and daily changed information given to the public that supported "the truth" as determined by the government. It was exactly like Pravada and Ivestia in the old Soviet Union.

Orwell almost had it right. Today the media is the "Ministry of Truth." Oddly they need no government direction as our media today is philosophically socialist and supporters of a left wing government. That is why they were so rabidly anti-Trump. Trump was not a socialist and a threat to the status quo of government, media, and big business. It should be noted that big business is pro crony capitalism and has no use for a true free market. Elon Musk is the rare exception

It should be noted the socialism is always followed by government tyranny. It is that simple.

If you want to understand politics today, please read 1984 and look at what is happening in Canada.

Wait a minute. Meta owns WhatsApp? I just downloaded it yesterday, because it claims encrypted messaging.
