History shouldn't judge Colin Powell kindly for his selling a war to the American people on false pretenses, however the only reason Donald Trump doesn't like him is because he doesn't like Donald Trump.

As usual, they attack or defend people for all the most self-serving reasons.

Trump would crap all over the Dalai Lama’s legacy, that’s the sort of jagoff he is. No matter who you are you get the famous disingenuous tribute. Trump loves to play Monday morning quarterback

The Dalai Lama would be fine - so long as he donates and buys a hat
 
I haven't gone through the whole thread but I don't see him get a lot of love, even from the those supposedly supporting him.

He's been a great distraction though

This is thread #16 on this piece of human garbage. If you're willing to sift through the wastelands of the previous threads you find heaps of asslicking sycophants that have since abandoned ship.

Fox news reporter is calling it

I love that we had to wait for Fox News to confirm it before anybody would believe it was true. That's what it's come to. Now it's gospel.

The story could have been fact checked by any one of us just by watching his actions and listening to his words. This is who Donald Trump is, has been and always will be.

There are two ways to be fooled.
One to believe what isn't true.
The other is to refuse to believe what is true.

------ Breaking News------

TRUTH Social will be the first company under Trump Media & Technology Group (“TMTG”), which has merged with Digital World Acquisition Corp. to become a publicly listed company with a potential valuation of up to $1.7 billion, a Wednesday press release from TMTG states. President Trump is the chairman of TMTG.

TRUTH Social will be a place Americans can go to freely express their thoughts without fear of leftist censorship. The app is currently available in the Apple App Store for pre-order. Future users can sign up for updates at www.truthsocial.com.

Its beta launch will begin on an invite-only basis in November, however a nationwide rollout is expected by March 2022.

Describing his decision to create the new social media platform, President Trump explained, “I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.”

“This is unacceptable,” he added. “I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon.”

“TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!” the 45th president concluded.

"Potential valuation" of $1.7b. In a press release from the company in question.

Never drop the con.

What they are really seeing is Facebook getting amazing money from the s**t Trump and his ilk foment.

They want a piece of that pie.

Great chat with the Facebook whistleblower on their methods and refusal to do much about hate speech and misinformation.


The algorithm gives more weight to people who share and engage more. The people most likely to share and engage more are people going through upheaval in their life. Newly divorced, depressed, living in a new town. So their mood infects everyone's Facebook feed.

News organisations talked to Facebook saying their best performing content was the stuff they were the most ashamed of. Facebook did nothing to fix it, but used that information to make Facebook's content even more argumentative, depressing, outrageous.

Politicians have cottoned on, and make their public statements even more contentious and confrontational, and so less representative of a good democracy.

Scott Morrison is well into this hole.

And it's even worse in smaller markets where Facebook doesn't have many local language speakers. It's even more lawless in those countries. More prone to abuse by bad actors. But Facebook subsidises internet access in many markets, as long as you use Facebook. So it gives internet newcomers free access, but dumps them in a wasteland full of bandits and does little to nothing to moderate that.

"Shadow joining" Facebook groups. If your most active friends like something, it will slip posts from those groups into your feed. If you engage with one, it "shadow joins" you to that type of group and adjusts your feed - without telling you - to feature more of that content.

They tracked one account that invited 300,000 people to Q-Anon groups. That person engaged so much their invitation - just an invitation - changed the feeds of thousands and thousands of people, specially if they engaged with any one of the items popping up in their feed.

This is the type of reason Russian interference in the US election is beyond just paying for Facebook ads. There are more avenues for attack than just paying for ads.


We are now in social media's Big Tobacco moment. And that’s largely thanks to the courage of one woman: Frances Haugen.

Frances is a specialist in algorithmic product management. She worked at Google, Pinterest, and Yelp before joining Facebook — first as a Product Manager on Civic Misinformation, and then on the Counter-Espionage team. But what she saw at Facebook was that the company consistently and knowingly prioritized profits over public safety. So Frances made the courageous decision to blow the whistle — which resulted in the biggest disclosure in the history of Facebook, and in the history of social media.

In this special interview, co-hosts Tristan and Aza go behind the headlines with Frances herself. We go deeper into the problems she exposed, discuss potential solutions, and explore her motivations — along with why she fundamentally believes change is possible. We also announce an exciting campaign being launched by the Center for Humane Technology — to use this window of opportunity to make Facebook safer.

Hands up anyone that has noticed the presence of the Taliban on Twitter.

This.

As if Donnie gives 2 shits about the stuff Powell should rightly be criticised for.

Over/under on the first security breach?

Hope Jason Miller didn't build this one.
