Monitor all social media platforms that anyone in your home, not paying his/her own way, may be using. You don’t need to watch a Congressional hearing to know that the cretins of tech use any means necessary to get their talons into your youngsters and drag them down a psychologically damaging path. All social media platforms are bad, Tik ToK is the absolute worst. Tik Tok has partnered with an pro-LGBT group to promote transgender videos.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby announced a new “extremism” policy being rolled out by the Pentagon under President Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday that the Department of Defense says provides “increased clarity” on what amounts to “extremist activities” or “prohibited activity” by service members.
President Trump has announced that he will hold a press conference on January 6th, 2022. He hasn’t hinted what it is about, but, it could be that he has a plan for the 2022 election. Or it could be to announce his new social media platform, Truth. I am anxiously awaiting Truth so that we are no longer shackled by Facebook. Truth is going to cost Facebook financially.
With major platforms struggling to make a profit, Dorsey is following the money. Cryptocurrency may be about to go mainstream
Jack Dorsey is resigning from Twitter to spend more time with his other company, Square. In some ways, the choice between Twitter and Square is a straight choice between political clout and profit. Square, a payments platform co-founded by Dorsey in 2009, is worth almost three times Twitter’s current value at about $97bn (£73bn). But Square will never be credited with the equivalent of the “Twitter revolution”, or make headlines by banning a former president.
Will social media die? Some platforms certainly will but not all. Twitter seems positively suicidal and FB is not far behind.
Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is jumping back into the political fray and calling for new laws to regulate social media companies.
During a softball interview Tuesday on MSNBC, Clinton told host Rachel Maddow that technology has gotten ahead of the law.
Truth Social, the new social media platform that Donald Trump says he is rolling out, will combat censorship and the “self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters” who the former president said decide what everyone else is allowed to “think, say, share, and do.”
Most also think social media companies, and the people who use them, bear a good deal of blame for the situation. But few are very concerned that they themselves might be responsible, according to a new poll from the Pearson Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
According to a report Thursday by the Associated Press, intending migrants use the outlets to share information that is sent through immigrant communities, directing migration flows through the porous southern border at Del Rio.
Philosopher Edith Stein was once asked by a friend to explain why she converted from Judaism to Catholicism, a question to which she replied, secretum meum mihi—“my secret is mine.” Many other saints and spiritual writers, like St. Augustine and Thomas Merton, have mapped and shared their journeys toward God and conversion gladly, but Stein chose to remain true to her vocation as a philosopher, and explore her faith in that particular way. Out of her own free will, she kept this sacred act and all that was contained within her relationship with God close to her heart.
As I recalled this detail about Stein’s tragic life (she perished in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942), I couldn’t help but think about the human need to share or to conceal the events of life. In many ways, we have become members of a throwaway society in which we no longer value our own privacy and personal thoughts.
Australia is going downhill fast. In order to use social media, the users of Facebook, Twitter, et cetera will possibly have to give the government 100 points of ID including facial recognition. It will work like a passport.
Yesterday evening Gab received a letter from the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Protest at the United States Capitol.
The House panel investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol issued sweeping document requests on Friday to social media companies, expanding the scope of its investigation as it seeks to examine the events leading to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The requests were issued to technology giants, including Google, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, and also to Reddit, Parler, Telegram, 4chan, 8kun and other platforms.
The committee asked 15 companies to provide copies of any reviews, studies, reports or analysis about misinformation related to the 2020 election, foreign influence in the election, efforts to stop the election certification and “domestic violent extremists” associated with efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including the attack on the Capitol.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference in Saskatchewan on Monday alongside Premier Scott Moe, at Cowessess First Nation, where yet another lot of unmarked graves were discovered near a former residential school.
Many on social media, though, saw the prime minister’s actions as distasteful, after photos of Trudeau kneeling on the unmarked graves, holding a teddy bear, made their way to Twitter.
