Another CIA success story.

It was governments who were 'directed' to allow these tech startups to become the behemoths they are today to control the internet and stop it being the vehicle to finally bring global society together as it should be. Centuries of separation by race colour and creed is the only way the powerful can remain so and hence the panic over the web. This panic is showing up now as the overplay their hand with such things as the Covid fiasco and now society caused climate change. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP and I remain positive that a powerful blowback will occur . . . . Remaining hopeful is essential to our childrens future on this beautiful planet.

I challenge anyone to find an individual who covers such topics with the same eloquence and depth as does Lily; go ahead, I'll wait.

Brilliant analysis, as always...

Facebook is crap. Suckerbwrg although having enormous wealth is a stupid fool and possibly criminal

Use of facebook drove up teen suicides

Why isn’t he on trial

But in any case he thinks he is brilliant but contributes nothing positive to society

So this shows a defect in our society as it gives billions of dollars to people who are a net negative for society

We need a way to remove useless tech crap from society instead of making billionaires out of useless people

We need healthy food and clean water and affordable healthcare

Tesla is a negative too as affordable transportation can be had cheaper

lol

No wonder America is dying

It’s all misallocation and waste

Couldn't agree more. I deleted my Facebook account when the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke out, and never looked back since. It's fascinating how much more cringe information has come out about them since, but it keeps going strong.

Agreed on your writing on FB.

I don't think profiles are ever deleted even if the so-called owner AKA us deletes them. I've been banned from Reddit and nextdoor and likely would have been from f book but it sucked since I tried it so I skipped it, 9gag is a Worthy non leftist infested scrolling alternative. Reddit is worthy for the reservoir of knowledge, but infested with leftists thus my ban for TBD reasons. I had an Instagram account on an old device and cannot sign in on the new one, no loss, thanks for substack, didn't realize what it was when it first innovated

I have had at least 3 30-day suspensions from Facebook. Suspensions are not removed off your record. They act like you are a criminal.

I am off FB. But…bad as it is, and bad as SM is in some ways, without it we would be in Year 8 of Queen Hillary’s quest to become the first political Trillionaire. And likely WWIII would have happened already. Without it the health movement would not have been able to meet and discuss what we now know. Without it I would not have realized how many people thought like me. And maybe worse, I would not have realized how 70% of people are NPCs, 9% are evil minions, and 1% are likely evil.

Nice article. Facebook was always an intelligence project that was born from DARPA'S Lifelog. It is the standard template as to how the legalese is managed to make certain things permissible and possible through private-public parnerships.
