The whole "facebook whistleblower" thing puzzles me. The way I understand it, she is claiming that FB is not actively censoring their content. I understand the whole platform-vs-publisher issue, so this is not a comment on that. But there are many, including me, who would be pleased to see an actual free platform. Unless I am misunderstanding, she seems to be blowing the whistle on free speech.
She says Facebook et al are "not safe" because they do not police their content. She blames the profit motive. This story makes me very uneasy. It seems that her point is that free speech is driven by capitalism and is a danger to the public. That sounds less like a whistleblower and more like a government stooge.

They sell advertisements, just like the news they will always side with the money.

We all know that Facebook is actively censoring. She says that they are "accountable to no one" and should be regulated like the "dangerous" auto and tobacco industries.
What she is whistleblowing is the lack of government control. This cannot end well.[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 10-04-2021).]

Doesn't this mean that it is not a DNS problem?

I would not put it past any of our adversaries, foreign or domestic, to be testing the waters.
This is why I am wary of relying too much on technology of any kind. |

Our most likely adversaries are employed through DC politics. Never let a crisis go to waste. Creating the crisis is the obvious tactic.
Surely more than a couple of us here suspect shut downs like the energy pipeline and the meat processor were very possibly covert domestic political groups floating trial balloons?[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 10-04-2021).]

Gawd help us if Youtube goes down. Many in this country can't form an independent thought or put 2 consecutive cognitive sentences together without some Youtube bubba telling them what to think or do.
I have some extra nitro tablets if anyone in that category thinks they might need them. Might keep ya alive until the paramedics arrive.

I was thinking what about all the folks who wont have that facebook bubble that pops up in any post with the word vaccine in it, telling them where to click to find "real" "approved" info.
