There are three issues coming out of the whistleblower hearings, but the only one that will receive focus is the one that I addressed above; the perceived need for additional censorship.

The other two, which will be swept under the rug, are the use/misuse by our foreign adversaries and political bias which leads to the use/misuse by our domestic adversaries.

The outcome will be additional government regulation, which seems to be the outcome of everything over the last few decades.

Does your big toe itch? We need the government to take control of your toes, but only the big one. We would NEVER regulate the other four toes. It's for the children. You don't want your children to have to live with itchy toes, do you? What? You don't like children? Don't make us chase you into the stall.

That kind of implies that their entire infrastructure is down. Although it could just be a coincidence.

Some people are saying it's related to the whistleblower report, last night.
Could it be possible that someone inside decided to pull a "Hillary", and wipe everything?
Or maybe somebody from outside just decided to do it for them.

Hey... At least Drudge is still online.





I tend to agree with what you're saying. You and I both know that no company that big puts their access card and security network on the internet, that usually goes on an air-gapped grey network with perhaps a one-way data diode feed to the company's internal network. I whole heartedly believe there's a very strong possibility that Facebook had some of their top people come in early-morning, and made significant changes so as to update either algorithms or destroy data. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but the timing is very suspect.

I agree... with sites like Gap, FreeTalk45, Rumble, and many others that are starting to grow in popularity... I'm concerned that possibly if 230 does get removed, it will have a much more negative impact on THOSE sites, rather than on Facebook. I'm not so sure I necessarily support getting rid of 230 anymore... or, if they do, the FCC should at least correct some things.

Exactly. The news interviewed some supposed "expert" and he mentioned how vital Facebook is for communicating and information and what a wake-up call this was. Funny, the last I checked, my phone can call anyone I want and the television has 2000 news channels. Why do I need to contact people via ANY website or post pictures of my family so people can steal the images and set up fake accounts. If I need you, I'll pick up the phone and call you. If I need the news, I'll turn on the TV.

I have literally never used Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram to do any communicating with anyone.

The only 2 real uses I have for it are the buy/sell groups (MUCH handier than Kijiji or Craigslist) and the special-interest groups (Kinda like PFF is for Fiero's just a different platform). The 3d print groups are amazing, dont think I would have gotten through self-teaching without access to those guys.

Political arguments on it.....yeah, but I call that entertainment
