since the MAGA crowd have turned it into such an intellectual sewer.

The day after I found a bunch of Pro-Putin crap in my ad preferences. Mind you, this was in Aug of '16.

up to stop fake news sources. Plus they are doing good things in Africa.

Wouldn't want paybacks from the opposition.

Gearing up? I haven't seen jack on that.

That was Facebook getting out in front of the very bad news they know is coming. That was not a real effort by Facebook to do anything.


If Facebook really wanted to figure out their problems -- they would release the ads Russians and Trump ran. But they're afraid to do that.

Facebook committed a crime.

Facebook is desperately trying to cover up a huge scandal. If they really wanted to be transparent we'd know because they'd release the ads Trump and Russia ran. But right now it is a coverup.

Wonder how Zuckerberg can defend their continuing denials? Also what made them do the turnabout?
As she also made it clear, there is NO doubt about what happened in our election. Mueller has to cross the t's and dot the i's but it is obvious there was collusiuon.

Zuckerberg has some 'splainin to do.

Whole election was fraudulent and should be overturned; granted to the popular vote winner.

for overturning an election. So how would that be done?

Some people prefer to remain ignorant of the US Constitution. Or of the fact that it is the basis of law of the land.

They prefer to just make shit up about what is possible under some made up laws.

Go figure.

I'm a legal professional and I know of some very novel, foundational things / decisions that have been made including at the Supreme Court level. Brand new interpretations. For example, Dred Scott, then Brown v. Board of Education. Bush v. Gore.

If it's a case of 1st impression and the political pressure is there, things can happen.

Granted my view of law and order has as its foundation the wrong end of a barrel however 5/4 certainly established legal precedent by the nature of its cause and effect on state oversight of election law.... Now, theft and collusion have been introduced on the federal level.... "Just one time" was the excuse for federal interference into a states election... "Just one more time" could be the clarion call for the do-over of a presidential election.... Thank you for your attention, now back to my guitar... Best wishes

Then let her become P.

Next in line is Speaker of the House if pres & vice are impeached together. Otherwise the sitting president appoints a new vp and that wouldn't be HRC.

Pres and vp go. Speaker/senator now Pres. New president appoints Hillary vp then resigns. Presto, Hillary is legally president.

We were talking aboit a legal, constitutional way to make HRC president. It is possible. Unlike an election redo.

If Pence and Trump go at the same time, under the 25th Amendment the new president would be Paul Ryan, the GOP Speaker of the House. Do you really think he'd appoint Hillary VP and then resign so she could be president? Seriously?

Sorry, but

There is a legal way.

I'm not saying it's likely.

There is NO legal way to do the election over. It's just not contemplated in any form by our laws.

Criminy...

Literal.

How is it we have had the credibility as a country to oversee free and fair elections abroad, if there is not some guarantee in our laws at some level for the same here?

a forum for meal-photo sharing and illness/disease "poor me" posts, along with a shitload of non rational political "memes" from completely uninformed spouters, i hope it dies a swift, painful death and i never have to hear the words "mark zuckerberg" again.

twitter is just as bad. at least there, you pick who you want to follow and unfollow easily instead of "friending/shunning". but there is a lot of stupid shit on twitter. just a good place to get up to minute news if you don't play the game, worrying about followers and shit to make yourself feel better.

people are hooked on that piece of shit site

to get information out to a lot of people is useful.

The incident I'm thinking of involves something very personal, but I was very grateful that FB was there.

places like the DU with a username. To keep out trolls and sock puppets and Russians. Facebook is our great hope for leading us into this new age. Bad experiences like the ones with the Russians will just build security and review into the system. No other group exists with its scope or ressources.

Facebook really wants to run logins for other sites so they can get personal data from those sites. Facebook makes money by selling personal data.

I highly recommend that you do not use Facebook logins for anything but Facebook.

If some site wants me to sign in using FB, I don't bother with that site.

I'm asking because it sounds like it.

Block any and all HATE ads

FACEBOOK has turned over all info to Special Counsel

Facebook took tens of millions from Trump. And they knew how racist and hateful those ads were.

Facebook is complicit in hatemongering and dividing America at best, and complicit in Russian manipulation at worst.

Link to tweet

They are way, way too big.

It's like boycotting Walmart. It's a futile exercise in feel-goodism, less meaningful than signing an online petition and even less likely to have any impact.

Political ads.

I know it's illegal for a candidate to accept such funding during a campaign, but what of private enterprise?

When the posts started looking like Nazis were flourishing on there, I got out. I tried talking sense for a while, but realized I was wasting my energy. I lost an old friend, who never would have been considered a friend if I'd known she was a bigot and a right wing fool. I no longer have a Facebook account and do not miss it.

...post anti trump and dog stuff.

...users feel about this. Just like often one can put a feature on their Facebook page showing solidarity with victims of a terrorism tragedy, this would be the time for users of Facebook to change their Facebook photo to reflect their opinion of Facebook having participated (even if unknowingly) in a Russian disinformation campaign against our country to steal an election.

It also doesn't hurt that my professional reputation was destroyed by that site (wannabe KKK former friend posted racial slurs to my page).

And it wouldn't make even a blip of difference on the balance sheet.

Hell, everyone who watched Maddow and everyone who's ever watched Maddow could boycott and Zuck wouldn't even notice.

So many important things are going on around us, that I just had very little time for chi-cherias.

by obviously false/vile junk.

Heck, there was false stuff everywhere, including here. Plus, we need to be nimble enough to handle whatever is thrown at us.

a long time ago.

Everytime Facebook shows you groups you want no part of, click on the X in the top right corner to remove it.
