Project Veritas Video Shows Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Downplaying Left-Wing Violence

DOJ Arrest Reports Reveal Capitol Riot Was Planned Almost Exclusively On Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, Yet Parler Was Shut Down Anyway
A trove of documents released by the Department of Justice reveal that their investigations leading to arrests in the Capitol riot focused almost entirely on big tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, with little to no mentions of Parler. A stunning (to some) revelation that exposes the Left’s claim that Parler was uniquely responsible, and completely destroys big tech’s excuse for their deplatforming.
Facebook Canada asks for government help to self-police content

Canadian Heritage minister, top bureaucrats deny ‘cozy’ relationship between department and Facebook Canada
OTTAWA – The minister and top bureaucrats responsible for Canadian Heritage say there was nothing wrong with how Facebook Canada’s head of public policy reached out to an official at the department — which is co-leading efforts to regulate Internet giants — to share a job posting for a policy worker.
“We came to a conclusion that sharing publicly available information is not a reprehensible act. I would also add that we are taking at heart issues regarding values and ethics… and I am very confident that my staff are meeting the highest standard with respect to conflict of interest and values and ethics,” Canadian Heritage Deputy Minister Hélène Laurendeau told members of the Heritage committee Friday.

Facebook calls on Canadian government to set social media rules
Facebook says it would welcome increased regulation by the Canadian government, including rules for what kind of content should — or should not — be allowed on social media platforms.
In an interview with CBC News, Kevin Chan, global director and head of public policy for Facebook Canada, said Parliament should make clear what kinds of content aren’t allowed.
“On this question of content regulation, we think that having platforms make decisions about all these things and in an uncoordinated fashion with different platforms having different postures, we think that’s not sustainable,” he explained. “So we think that public rules by Parliament would help clarify these things and obviously apply across the internet.”
Oh Lord.

Facebook apologises for banning users from mentioning National Trust beauty spot Devil’s Dyke after branding it ‘hate speech’

“If They Won’t Hear Us, They Will Fear Us”: How The Capitol Assault Was Planned On Facebook
Right-wing extremists used Facebook to make calls to overthrow the government and storm the US Capitol in the period leading up to a violent insurrection on Jan. 6, a tech watchdog group has found, contradicting attempts by the social media company to downplay the role of its platform in the affair.
A new report from Tech Transparency Project (TTP) shared with BuzzFeed News uncovered a slew of specific threats made in pro–President Donald Trump and militant groups on Facebook both before and after President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory in November. In those groups, organizers and members alike perpetuated the lie that the election results were fraudulent and made open calls to “Occupy Congress” on Jan. 6.
But Parler got whacked.
