The censorship item

Jul 1 12:11 UTC 2020 |
The same people behind "peaceful" riots, arson, violence and murder are
now pressuring corporations to pull ads from facebook until "hate" is
censored.
Facebook will ultimately capitulate, just like the corporations.
What will the end result be? What is "hate"?
We can look to our Silicone Valley overlords to tell us.
Time after time, conservative political speech is labeled hate.
Anything that disagrees with the narrative.
Say there are two genders? HATE.
Say that you agree with border controls? HATE.
When POTUS said he would send military to stop riots, it was labeled by
Twitter as "hate". There are many examples.
Don't get me wrong, actual hate speech should be shunned and discouraged
but holding one political view set as sacred while labeling all others
"hate speech" is the dangerous and irresponsible in a supposedly free
society.
Where do you think this will end? Will Facebook start broad-brushing
speech and labeling users using their AI as "hate"?
There's evidence that conservative speech is being pushed into a ghetto.
If they stay on Twitter/Facebook, their speech is shadow banned; visible
only to the user posting - or relegated to other hidden status. Users
are hidden, deplatformed, labeled and systematically 'unfriended' from
others. People are flocking to Telegram, Gab, and Parler. Predictably,
those services once trending are quickly labeled as a haven for racism
and hate speech and the PC lynch mob demands the apps are taken down
from Apple and Google app stores.
In the meantime the wall of PC mainstream media groupthink starts to
repeat the familiar 2+2=5 untruths. "There's no such thing as Antifa."
"Social media is not censoring and silencing conservatives. That's been
debunked." etc.

Facebook frustrates advertisers as boycott over hate speech kicks off
Sheila Dang
5-6 minutes
NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Advertisements for more than 400
brands including Coca-Cola and Starbucks are due to vanish from Facebook
on Wednesday, after the failure of last-ditch talks to stop a boycott
over hate speech on the site.
U.S. civil rights groups have enlisted the multinationals to help
pressure the social media giant into taking concrete steps to block hate
speech in the wake of the death of George Floyd and amid a national
reckoning over racism..
Facebook executives including Carolyn Everson, vice president of global
business solutions, and Neil Potts, public policy director, held at
least two meetings with advertisers on Tuesday, the eve of the planned
one-month boycott, three sources who participated in the calls told
Reuters.
But the executives offered no new details on how they would tackle hate
speech, the sources said. Instead, they pointed back to recent press
releases, frustrating advertisers on the calls who believe those plans
do not go far enough.
It s simply not moving, said one executive at a major ad agency of the
conversations.
Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to meet with the
organizers of the boycott, a spokeswoman said late Tuesday.
U.S. civil rights groups including the Anti-Defamation League, NAACP and
Color of Change started the Stop Hate for Profit campaign after the
death of Floyd, a Black man who died under the knee of a white police
officer last month.
The groups outlined 10 demands for Facebook including allowing people
who experience severe harassment to speak with a Facebook employee and
giving refunds to brands whose ads show up next to offensive content
that is later removed.
Facebook said earlier this week it would submit to an audit of its hate
speech controls, adding to plans to label newsworthy content that would
otherwise violate its policies, following similar practices at other
social media platforms such as Twitter Inc.
One digital ad agency representative who participated in a call on
Tuesday said Facebook executives referred repeatedly to the audit,
without offering additional concessions.
Facebook executives have reached out to chief executives, board members
and chief marketing officers of major advertisers to talk them out of
the boycott, two people briefed on the discussions told Reuters. All the
sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on
the record. ADVERTISING TEST
The boycott will be a test for advertisers on how to reach billions of
consumers without relying on the largest social media platform in the
world, an executive at a major ad agency said.
Companies that run ads in order to promote their brand image rather than
to make direct sales are less beholden to Facebook. Many of these,
including the multinational advertisers who have joined up with the
boycott, will begin to plot how they can achieve the same goals without
Facebook, the executive said.
For Facebook, the boycott is unlikely to have a big financial impact.
The top 100 brands on Facebook in 2019 likely brought in only 6% of
Facebook s total $70 billion in annual revenue, according to a
Morningstar research note citing Pathmatics data, which measures most
types of advertising on the platform. Facebook said last year its top
100 advertisers accountED for less than 20% of total ad revenue.
News of the boycott wiped away $56 billion from Facebook s market
capitalization after an 8% drop in its stock on Friday. But shares
recovered 3% on Tuesday and are actually trading 8% higher year to date.
ZUCKBERG PRESENCE
Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg last week asked to meet
with the campaign organizers along with Chief Product Officer Chris Cox,
Zuckerberg s long-time friend, who returned to Facebook this month after
resigning over the company s direction last year.

Agreed.
Now, what can we do to fight being labeled and attacked by giant
corporations, NGOs, George Soros, hollywood, news media, the Deep State
and half of American voters?
Are most conservatives too cozy to get angry enough to start their own
demonstrations? To exercise power? Or do they just cower and complain?
