    1. There you are wrong.
      Social media was designed as a method to make money from advertising dollars by convincing people it was a method for people to unite with one another.
      Make the people happy to get ads so that they can “unite” with one other and they will get your ads and get more focused ads and be more likely to buy from advertisers and the platform makes more money because of it.
      It was always about making money.
      It was about how can we get people to make us (the platform) money.

    2. ​@Federal Reserve WOLF TheFedWolf The PRC only allows their state-run media to operate in communist china, so you’re not wrong there. But a lot of places around the world obviously don’t follow that model. Your statement “proving all media is manipulated” needs to be clarified though. Manipulated how?

      If you’re saying that all journalistic entities will do everything just to put a biased slant on things, then that statement is automatically false. The AP, while imperfect, rigorously fact-checks its material and does its best to present the most accurate articles it could. Ditto for Reuters, and a lot of other news organizations.

      Maybe instead of just focusing on fox ‘news’ and other American bull$hit propaganda outlets, maybe you should also check the other end of that stick? Surely there’re other news organizations that adhere to much more altruistic ideals than what you’re used to.

      If you’re honest about saying that you hate news organizations that lie, then you yourself should be truthful, balanced, and fair. Right? Which means that you need to avoid making statements like “proving all this media is manipulated” as if it were absolute fact.

      If you want to start researching about news organizations that makes a conscious effort in maintaining journalistic objectivity, a great place to start would be mediabiasfactcheck dot com.

      Go ahead, look it up.

    3. @Inarus Lynx Education and values, imho. A guy with a doctorate can still actively spread disinformation if he’s an a-hole.

      But yeah, you’re absolutely right. *Proper* education can mold a person to think critically and objectively, and they’d be resistant to all these lies and bull$hit spread by anyone who would want to take advantage of this mess.

    1. twitter banned me for saying ”jeffery epstien hung himself” in a debate against a denier who flagged me. Twitter then reviewed it and doubled down on the claim that saying epstien hung himself was like me telling a user to hang themselves. The people running this thing are retards.

    2. @William Sanders
      Every platform has a component of censorship. If you yell at the clouds no one will bother you.

    3. @Van Hoa Phan I’m sure you have some kind of non-point to make with this post… ADHD has you drifting off topic again…

  1. Yea misinformation that cnn also spreads lmao stop acting like this segment excludes you.. cnn literally agrees with everything in Facebook, Twitter and googles agenda

    1. Wish one of those CEO had the balls to say the lies were from Trump and the politicians in Washington.

    2. @Jason C. If that was the case I would hate to be you lied to your face every day by fake new after Trump gone 🤣

    3. @Jason C. Both sides lie not just the right. The left lied about Russia gate and still pretends its real because most people haven’t read the muller report because too much words and it’s boring to actually know the truth.

    4. If anyone needs a grilling it would be richard madcow, ari melber, upchuck toad or nicole wallace

  2. When are they going to grill media owners like Rupert Murdoch for delivering misinformation by the truck load ???

    1. @toptenguy1 As many as we will need to replace every capitol rioter who will be sent to guantanamo bay for treason. 😉

    2. @#Rsync LOL…. You idiots really are stuck on this, aren’t ya? It’s the ONLY thing you’ve got.. LOL

    3. @The Truth Is Out 777 well if you are going to call cnn fake , you have to also say fox , oan and newsmax are full of sh*t also.

  3. “We’ve reviewed your report of Obvus Lee A. Troll and found that the account does not go against our community standards.” x 850,000,000

    1. Facebook is guilty of not only allowing disinformation to spread, they are also liable for actively working to silence those trying to share THE TRUTH!!! I would know, during the election my Facebook account was shut down no less than three times for 20 days at a time, for trying to fend off attacks from trolls trying to debase actual FACTS I was trying to share! Facebook is Criminal….

    1. the only thing theses puppets would answer a quick “yes” was when he asked them if they thought the vac actually works. haha what a F-ing circus of devils we live under

    2. ‘yes or no’ questions like that ara a disservice. Almost as much as facile trolling in youtube comments.

    1. Not actually…,” Rich guys are NOT really in any one group…They move from one to other, “”FIRST, THEY MAKE MONEY CREATING THE PROBLEM, THEN BY SOLVING IT”” and the Cycle goes On… Don’t confuse yourself with philosophies, All Human philosophies don’t apply on Animals, and vice-versa🙂

    2. I love the fact you were probably thinking this would be a smart thing to say when you decided to post this lmao

    1. Social media, like any creation made by man, is a tool. And tools are inherently value-neutral. Japan, Canada, South Korea, and New Zealand all use Google and the same social media apps the US does, but they don’t face the same grave social problems.

      Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that *bad behavior, apathy, stupidity/ignorance, and greed* are the root causes of any great nation’s downfall? There’re a lot of historical precedents regarding this. The Roman Empire’s collapse is an excellent example, with plenty of similarities.

  4. While FB is definitely shady AF, it is the individuals who must be responsible for their own actions.

    1. That’s true, individuals should be held accountable for their own lies and actions. But here’s where things get complicated: Crazy assholes used to shout horse-crap from street corners and no one takes them seriously. These days, any loons can go viral, gain a following, and by virtue of his or her voice being “heard” by a multitude, gain the kind of relevance they shouldn’t have in the first place. People mistake “reach” for truth. Social media and big tech platforms make that possible. So there is a serious question of just what role these platforms should have in amplifying voices that may be harmful to the public at large.

    2. It’s the act of treating online as real life when it’s not, not even close. That’s the problem. Online conversations/activity is the equivalent of butting in to a conversation or inviting yourself to a party you weren’t invited to. In real life ppl don’t act like that, there isn’t anytime to think about what was said and how you reply. Stop treating this as real life and the problems go away, it’s that simple. Force ppl to use video cams so you can see facial expressions and hear tone of voice two very important aspects of conversing not present online making it easier to hide will also stop it in it’s tracks. Can’t dictate personal responsibility when you yourself are not responsible with your platform and pretend it’s real life.

    1. @Lee – Child of God I have told you about the right wing lies so please tell me about the left wing lies regarding the storming of the capitol. Like I said before ALL media has bias but to claim, in this current media climate, that both sides lie the same is blatantly false and the fact that you say that means you lean right making your claim of independence hypocritical.

    2. @Andrew Newman I’m talking about ALL lies and propaganda, not specifically the capital. It is not false that both sides lie. YOUR bias is showing.

    3. @Lee – Child of God It is false that both sides lie THE SAME. The vast majority of lies come from the right wing. Repeatedly saying Biden fell down is not a lie, it’s bias but repeated claiming the election was stolen is a lie, not bias.

    4. @Andrew Newman Ok. You want to play that game? B l m. They say that p o c are k i l l e d for no reason. More w h t s are k i l l e d than p o c. Highly dis pro port ionate – c r i m e is from some in the p o c com which automatically puts them in that position in the first place. And the fact that those cases involved p o c who were doing c r i m e s or being a r r e s t e d for a c r i m e AND r e s i s t e d – a r r e s t and/or did not f o l l o w – l a w f u l – o r d e r s.

    5. ​@Lee – Child of God LOL. Your words – “You falsely assumed that I’m a right winger”. Hypocrite.

  5. Z burg is such a removed individual he had no clue how the world works. His answers were jokes kids a idiot.

    1. Zuckerberg refuses to take any responsibility and just blames everyone else, he’s made his billions so screw you

    2. Facebook and Twitter and text messaging should be disabled. Maybe then people will start talking to each other again.

    3. @toptenguy1 you mean like the good and moral republicans in Georgia and other red states passing laws to surpress voting rights

    1. When you can make a successful case in court proving your statement. Until then, your choice is simply not to watch.

  6. All this wouldn’t have happened if there were no social media platforms. That allow people to connect too easy with possible strangers with the same views on those platforms. A sign of over communications.

  7. There is really no reason to “grill” them, just observe their actions and the targets of those actions thereof……

  8. “Quick Marky, throw out some inter-web nomenclature to bamboozle ‘em.
    Say something with “binary algorithm” in it”.

  9. I wish they would just say. “I’m too rich and powerful, to answer your questions.” They all seem slimy to me!
