Parliament seizes cache of Facebook internal papers

Parliament has used its legal powers to seize internal Facebook documents in an extraordinary attempt to hold the US social media giant to account after chief executive Mark Zuckerberg repeatedly refused to answer MPs’ questions.

The cache of documents is alleged to contain significant revelations about Facebook decisions on data and privacy controls that led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It is claimed they include confidential emails between senior executives, and correspondence with Zuckerberg.

Damian Collins, the chair of the culture, media and sport select committee, invoked a rare parliamentary mechanism to compel the founder of a US software company, Six4Three, to hand over the documents during a business trip to London. In another exceptional move, parliament sent a serjeant at arms to his hotel with a final warning and a two-hour deadline to comply with its order. When the software firm founder failed to do so, it’s understood he was escorted to parliament. He was told he risked fines and even imprisonment if he didn’t hand over the documents.

Trump has the UK by the g-nads after he confronted them with evidence of their spying on him for Obama, thus they did this good turn in an effort to spare themselves embarrassment in the unfolding Obama-SpyGate-Hillary-Gate. UK helps to take down Zuker and the US President and DOJ rip FB apart for trying to help Obama steal the 2016 election for Hillary.

Gosh, if ya didn't know better, you'd say that the multinational Deep State was suddenly after Facebook, at home and abroad. And Julian Assange.

[montag813]

MI6 trying to cover something up? The UK government is rotten to the core, having worked with Brennan, Lynch and Clinton to try and take down Trump. Cambridge Analytica did nothing illegal, but the Deep State is determined to use them and FB as perpetual scapegoats to cover their own filthy tracks. ALL fake news.

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 monitor users and follow them 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 returned 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.

I would not expect the Britt’s to make much of it public.

So the Six4three exec obtained the cache of Fakebook docs via a legal battle in California.

Yet just happened to carry the laptop, storage device, etc. with these docs to London where an MP who just happened to be investigating Facebook just happened to know the exec was there with these particular documents on hand....... and used a “rare” Parliamentary maneuver to command the docs be handed over.

Sounds like a set-up. NOT that I have any sympathies for Fakebook, but I am curious about how this all went down....

When Obama used social media data to campaign, it was hailed as smart, modern use of technology. Trump’s campaign follows suit and they want to prosecute the social media sites for helping his campaign.

Oh don’t be so harsh on Zuck, he’s after all the full product of Liberal indoctrination & MSM for all the years growing up without any sort of Godly morals. The only thing that drives him is his insatiable lust for power which is very common among everyone today.

” Cambridge Analytica scandal.”

Techniques that only became scandalous when a republican used it to their advantage.

Trump has the UK by the g-nads after he confronted them with evidence of their spying on him for Obama,
thus the UK did this good turn for Trump----taking down Zuck----in an effort to spare themselves.

I love it when a plan comes together, don't you?
