Fake news and facebook

Facebook is being used to disseminate fake news. There is an edited video of JC refusing to condemn the IRA. This video is actually a Tory advertisement they are paying FB to insert into news feeds.

Expect more of the same. FB have said they are not arbiters of the truth so this will allow their platform to be used to make all sorts of claims that would not be permitted on traditional media.

Expect to be lied to in abundance and those lies to be microtargetted

Just this week FB paid the maximum fine of £500,000 for allowing cambridge analytica to use FB user data to microtarget users.

We know how manipulative of social media the Leave campaign was in 2016.

We know, too, that the same people behind that are now behind the Conservative election campaign.

Reasonable to think, too, the Russians will be in here meddling somewhere.

I hope Labour has a crack social media team, too.

In depth articles and investigations by many main stream media state exactly the same conclusion. Maybe not such fake news after all.....

The conservatives acknowledged the video was edited, but due to the platform they're are allowed to spread fake news. If smears is all you have, it shows fear.

I'm not the one claiming immigrants are shitting en masse on the streets of london. I am offering a donation to the tory party if you can verify this via the MET. I'll even add the cost of the FOI request to the met. Shall we say 52%.

You really don't pay attention - I was not talking about your video, but all the articles and investigations by all the UK media which all conclude the same. Corbyn supports terrorists and antisemites.

Umm.. neither of those is true. He supports peace and dialogue, not conflict. That doesnt make him pro IRA.

Sympathising with Palestinian cause, doesn't make him a supporter of antisemitism. Like Israel would have you believe anyone is, who dares question their version of events.

It's revolting what these platforms are permitting. My account and all my contacts were harvested by the people now at the conservatives. I'd be happy with FB much more tightly regulated. Those who are less politically aware will get their opinions bought on the down low, without suspicion but so totally wrong for such covert and malicious propaganda to be involved

The point is the video is edited to misrepresent the truth and mislead the viewer. The conservative acknowledged the video is false.

If you see nothing wrong with the electorate being mislead and candidates being smeared, then I ask do you believe in the democratic process at all?

Remember Immigrants shitting FOI ££££.

Haha, there are DOZENS of documented incidents, meetings, statements, refusals to comdemn etc, etc. over the years, he always refuses to condemn the terrorists groups he supports, or denies it, or says he British Army is equally culpable or some such excuse ....!

One isolated video matters not a jot, the point is his lifelong pattern is clear according to ALL the main stream media.

So how come he never met with the Unionists? Or anyone on the other side?

No, you meet exclusively with one side while they are actively killing and bombing, you go to all their terrorist memorial meetings year after year and speak supporting their cause time after time, inviting them to the HoC, refusing to condemn their murder and violence, support publications laughing at dead Tories after Brighton, and on and on....nope, that's not the action of a bona fide peace broker.

Um.. speaking as ex British Army I can tell you without doubt, that the Army make loads of mistakes and are culpable a lot of the time. At junior NCO and a more strategic level. For instance, in Iraq there were NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! Leaving Privates like myself in a very precarious position and the local civilians.

Possibly because the Unionists viewpoint was quite clearly expressed everywhere else. Their behaviour was equally disgusting during the troubles and perhaps seeing this and the political collusion with parts of UK Government/Parliment led him to believe that someone needed to talk to the Republicans as well? I dont know, I'm nog JC. I've never heard him say anything pro IRA though, or pro Hezbollah for that matter.

Simply, I can see where you're coming from.. its called empathy.

I fought in Iraq, doesn't stop me seeing things from an Islamic fundamentalist, or local Iraqis point of view. I may not agree with it, but without understanding, there is no dialogue. Without dialogue there is only war and death.

That's all Corbyn wants to avoid where possible.

I doubt he'd have any issues making the tough military and foreign policy decisions that every Prime Minister must make. Those tough, lesser of two evil choices. He just might sleep a little less comfier than Boris might.

I'm not a fan of either man if I'm honest, so feel pretty impartial here.

I married an RM officer, so I get it.

He has a huge chip on his shoulder IMO, and would likely destroy this country in one term.

I'm not the one claiming immigrants are shitting en masse on the streets of london. I am offering a donation to the tory party if you can verify this via the MET. I'll even add the cost of the FOI request to the met. Shall we say 52%.

You really don't pay attention - I was not talking about your video, but all the articles and investigations by all the UK media which all conclude the same. Corbyn supports terrorists and antisemites.

Umm.. neither of those is true. He supports peace and dialogue, not conflict. That doesnt make him pro IRA.

So how come he never met with the Unionists? Or anyone on the other side?

No, you meet exclusively with one side while they are actively killing and bombing, you go to all their terrorist memorial meetings year after year and speak supporting their cause time after time, inviting them to the HoC, refusing to condemn their murder and violence, support publications laughing at dead Tories after Brighton, and on and on....nope, that's not the action of a bona fide peace broker.

Um.. speaking as ex British Army I can tell you without doubt, that the Army make loads of mistakes and are culpable a lot of the time. At junior NCO and a more strategic level. For instance, in Iraq there were NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! Leaving Privates like myself in a very precarious position and the local civilians.

Possibly because the Unionists viewpoint was quite clearly expressed everywhere else. Their behaviour was equally disgusting during the troubles and perhaps seeing this and the political collusion with parts of UK Government/Parliment led him to believe that someone needed to talk to the Republicans as well? I dont know, I'm nog JC. I've never heard him say anything pro IRA though, or pro Hezbollah for that matter.

Simply, I can see where you're coming from.. its called empathy.

I fought in Iraq, doesn't stop me seeing things from an Islamic fundamentalist, or local Iraqis point of view. I may not agree with it, but without understanding, there is no dialogue. Without dialogue there is only war and death.

That's all Corbyn wants to avoid where possible.

I doubt he'd have any issues making the tough military and foreign policy decisions that every Prime Minister must make. Those tough, lesser of two evil choices. He just might sleep a little less comfier than Boris might.

I'm not a fan of either man if I'm honest, so feel pretty impartial here.

I married an RM officer, so I get it. But IMO it's way deeper than that - some people are just drawn to anarchy and rebellion from deep in their soul, they are anti-establishment revolutionaries just looking for a cause to support, full of anger and envy and anti-elite hatred, and to my mind he is by nature one of those. He has a huge chip on his shoulder IMO, and would likely destroy this country in one term.

He is part of the Elite. Never had a proper job, career politician. Private schooled, money isn't an issue for him. "

Indeed, millionaire. Who knows if he actually believes he's a 'Man of the people'. He won't suffer his policies anyway.

This is really scary. This 'Fake News' scandal is being used as a pretext for censorship and control of the internet.

But who decides what is fake news?

Controlling all information so the only information we can ever get is the version we are given by those in charge.

It's a good job we can trust them completely without question?

Actually I haven't used facebook for years so I don't know how it is these days. I TRIED to delete my account after I got compromised, some questionable content showing up on my timeline without knowing how it could have got there. It's quite frightening really.

I emailed facebook and begged them to take me down but don't know if they did, so it could still be there for any friends and family to see.

Joining Facebook is like joining the EU, once you join you can never ever leave.

It is said the only way to get deleted from Facebook is to post a mildly conservative viewpoint.

As of April 2019, it was found that ten percent of global active Facebook users were women between the ages of 18 and 24 years, and male users between the ages of 25 and 34 years constituted the biggest demographic group of Facebook users.

Users between 13 and 17 were 2.6% female and 3.3% male .

The kids left Facebook long ago .

Their on tick tock,Insta and other platforms.Adults aren’t cool enough for.

The truth is out there ..

"Facebook is being used to disseminate fake news. There is an edited video of JC refusing to condemn the IRA. This video is actually a Tory advertisement they are paying FB to insert into news feeds.

Expect more of the same. FB have said they are not arbiters of the truth so this will allow their platform to be used to make all sorts of claims that would not be permitted on traditional media.

Expect to be lied to in abundance and those lies to be microtargetted

Just this week FB paid the maximum fine of £500,000 for allowing cambridge analytica to use FB user data to microtarget users. "

Here’s an Idea!, DELETE Social Media! Starting with Facebook, then no more political Ads! Problem solved! Choose to make the decision and not listen!

No.. we're worried about all of the misinformation.

All the misinformation from the left is what you need you worry about. Although they do come out with comedy gold, even funnier is the idiots who believe it

You’re quite special aren’t you...to be so convinced of your point of view....do you have anything truthful to back it up or are you just spouting the usual cheap nonsense? "

The truth is all the left wing propoganda that will appear over the next few weeks. All bullshit but idiots will believe it. If you don't believe me, my point is proved

Hard to dispute that level of reasoning. You should contact your conservative association, they could do with your help.

Very loosely, There are massive differences between fab and the social media giants.

In terms of access to content, how it’s operated, how data is treated and so on.

I haven’t seen any political advertisements spreading disinformation. Nothing sold in that sphere. Even Twitter got a clue and made the decision to stop that happening.

When is Mark Zukerberg going to realise that his platform has done more for the spread of disinformation in the world.

He must accept responsibility for that. The sooner the better.

That is the point, its not recognisable as advertising, because it's not. There are clear rules about advertising for TV and Media, with the Advertising Standards Authority saying what is allowable. The ASA doesn't apply to 'new media' (the internet). If I made a TV ad that said something blatantly untrue and misleading, it wouldn't be shown. I could it put on FB. Its much worse than that, so instead of showing an single ad to loads of people, I pay to have crafted news items, memes, videos all targeted on an individual basis. So based on user profiles they target people with items that will be their 'hot' item. So you a get news feed with stories about immigration, your mate gets stories about crime, your brother gets a news feed about a failing health service.............And there's no obligation that any of it has to be true.

So it's not advertising, its targeted propaganda intended to appeal to peoples natural biases and prejudices and exploit it

I saw a shocker on Facebook yesterday, from a page called the 17.4 million.

An image of the Middle East and Asia, with various countries highlighted from Turkey to Afghanistan and Yemen.

Captioned: Jeremy Corbyn begins election campaign in safe Labour seats.

Xenophobic doesn't even begin to describe it.
