Zuckerberg at center of new Facebook firestorm
The Hill ^ | 11/22/18 | Harper Neidig

Posted on 11/23/2018 2:34:55 PM PST by Baynative

Natasha Lamb, a managing director at Arjuna Capital and a Facebook investor, attributes a lot of Facebook’s current problems to the amount of control over the company that Zuckerberg has consolidated.

"The dominant position that Zuckerberg holds has not been helpful in steering the company over the last few years,” Lamb said. “The stock's gone down over $100 billion twice this year, and you can directly link that to these platform issues.”

A New York Times story last week detailed Facebook’s early response to Russian election meddling attempts and its efforts to respond to a backlash in Washington, two of the platform's biggest challenges over the past year. The report revealed fractures at the top of the company.

"One of the groups targeted by Definers, the civil rights organization Color of Change, is demanding that Facebook fire Joel Kaplan, who runs the company’s Washington operations, and to release a promised audit of the platform’s effect on civil rights."

It is ironic that the mind control giant is being attacked from the inside by some of his lemming groups.

Stole his business idea

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend

Secretly sold users’ data

Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".

Married in the community proprety state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.

Requested nude photos of users to “protect them against the risk of revenge porn”.

Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data “so I can help cure diseases”.

Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.

De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.

Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so “my users can check their balances on my site."

Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".

Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of, an effort requiring 300 seperate lawsuits against local Hawaiian land claimants.

Established a "trustworthiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.

Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.

Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.

For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.

Proposed installation in the homes of FB users special Facebook cameras that would follow and monitor users around as they went about their private lives inside their homes. But the cameras, Zuckerberg assured, would come with privacy settings which Facebook would, like, totally respect, or something.

Asked for user telephone numbers for 2 factor authentication but within weeks used that data for marketing purposes. If users chose to share their entire contact list, Facebook also shared that data with advertisers, even phone numbers of people who NEVER had a facebook account! After the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB pleged to reinvigorate user privacy but neither of these practices has stopped.

In the runup to the 2018 midterm elections, FB removed over 800 conservative political pages and accounts in a clamp down on what the social media company arbitrarily termed, “inauthentic behavior”. The ambitious political move affected 66 million FB users, most of them Conservative.

Permitted the search term "white genocide" to be used as a targeting criterion to aim advertising for products at 170,000 users who interacted with that subject.

When at their SF HQ in 2016 FB employees replaced a mural slogal, "Black Lives Matter" with the words, "All Lives Matter", Zuck retured the slogan to its original and reprimanded the employees as "malicious and disrespectful".

In South Sudan in late Nov. 2018, Facebook permitted the auctioning of a CHILD BRIDE, age 16. The girl was sold for 500 cows, 3 cars and $10,000 and went into hiding. Five men, including some "high-ranking government officials," bid on the girl, according to Children's rights organization Plan International. At the same time it was revealed that Mexican child molesters had been using Facebook's Messenger app to collude regarding available kids and ongoing grooming prospects.

~snip~

"Zuckerberg currently owns 60 percent of the company and serves as chairman of the board of directors in addition to his role as CEO — an arrangement that Facebook’s critics think allows for little dissent within the company or oversight from investors."

Facebook, FB, trailing 6 months:

Peak 215, now 131.

For a big company to decline that fast is notable.

The Z man has to be one of the most vapid idiots in the multiverse. Yes, he is rich, but we’re not exactly talkin’ inventing the transistor, lasers, or something useful. All that dork did is use some (not very reliable or secure) low-T software to allow other low IQ folks to take selfies and pretend they actually can do something besides tell lies about themselves.

And libs love to make fun of the Trumpster, who had to really compete in the world.

It’s actually rich justice cuz “Color of Change” —the group demanding all these changes from Zuckerberg— is liberal as all hell.

It’s a re-birth of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH, but with younger blacks looking to be bought off by cowardly, corporate America.

So basically it’s black Commies extorting a rich honky Commie:

A win for us, no matter how it comes out.

There is something wrong about Zuck. Like the thing wrong with Jeff Flake, John Kasich, or Stacey Abrams...times a thou.

His eyes are a dead giveaway.

One has to wonder if he isn't an alien implant.

Hopefully, aliens could do a better job than Zuck...he is a mess.

Soros is after his assets. Y'see, no matter how much ya do, it's never enough. And he's now going to find out the value of being part of the the Mobs not Jobs crowd. Robespierre, Stalin, Mao, all worked the same way, but as Orwell noted, no one who's actually in charge is even known to the great unwashed masses.

He took the original platform that he stole the Winklevoss brothers and built it into a genuinely great tool for communications and marketing. There is so much good that could come of his product such as the private group pages and the marketplace.

But 'Z' is a deeply flawed person who's perversions and "King" obsession are going to eventually cause a lot more trouble than we are currently realizing.

The vast majority of “Wall street wonders” are confidence men who stole and repackaged an idea for the sole purpose of making their fortune off an IPO, and are totally clueless afterwards...

It’s under attack from Soros and his cronies. They want to control it’s reach and this is their takeover attempt.
