Cambridge Analytica founded by Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer was a major player. They were the difference in the UK with Brexit and in the US with Trump.
When I flag something with Facebook’s “false news” tag they either don’t respond or they say the post doesn’t violate their standards. These aren’t posts that are differences of opinion, they are posts that are verified to be false by Snopes, Politifact or other source with verifiable references.
What on earth ever gave anyone the stupid idea that Facebook was private, that it couldn’t be used to tell absolute lies, or that it was safe? By it’s very nature, I would assume that you would have to be an idiot to post anything on there that you wouldn’t mind seeing on the front page of your local newspaper, or that anything you read has any factual basis. I always just sort of figured it could be mildly amusing if you were stuck waiting in the doctor’s office and there was nothing else interesting in your email. The problem isn’t that face book is what it is, the problem is that people seem not to understand that.

Foreign leaders who think they can tell our government officials and media outlets what to do are annoying to American billionaires who really can.

I rather think that while “Trump” VOLUNTEERED for the job, I’m not quite sure that “Zuckerberg” did…but I could be wrong about Zuck…

No way! Vlad Poophead would insist on Siberian tigers … though more likely, dead ones mounted on the wall.
