I've noticed that the amount of click-farm generated spam from third world countries pushing Tesla related propaganda has spiked tremendously since inauguration day.<p>Keep an eye open for AI generated images of Musk in front of fictional technology, with captions that read things like "Musk releases NEW $40 cell phone to the world!"<p>It's all fake fluff designed to offset the genuine negativity he's creating for himself. I just can't figure out if it's paid promotional shilling, or shilling by unfriendly nations just pig-piling on the divisive rhetoric.<p>Either way, when the political pendulum swings back to the left I intend to urge my elected officials to track down and physically destroy the bot / click farms using military force if needed. I don't mean investigations and police. I mean we fly a Tomahawk through the window. We're at the point now where foreign political interference is amounting to an aggravated act of war. Even if it's solicited by one party or another, stay out of it.
This is what happens when Zuck really starts to dislike you.<p>When you contact Facebook they will either simply say "Whoops, probably a bug" or nothing at all<p>Happened earlier to a long term internet friend of mine.
"This is a historian documenting power. And that history — our history — is now being selectively hidden."<p>No, posting on FB is just creating content to drive advertising to one place or another. It's their platform they can do what they want with it.
I'm not sure if this is really surprising to anyone... FB has a history of quietly, and sometimes loudly suppressing voices, content and views. For a long while it was conservatives, libertarians, etc. Now, it seems to be anyone expressing anything against the current establishment.
