Steeds
meer Facebook accounts, die echt nieuws brengen, zijn van Facebook
gedonderd..... Effect: velen kunnen via hun Facebook account media
als Policing the Police, Anti-Media en anderen niet meer volgen, daar
Facebook ze heeft weggecensureerd........
Geen
nood er is een alternatief, zoals gezegd met de naam 'Minds'. Je
behoeft geen keus te maken, immers je kan je Facebook account uiteraard behouden.
Het
kost je ongeveer 5 minuten om je aan te melden, waarna je dan wel je
account moet aanmaken met achtergrond, eventuele foto's enz, echter
dat behoeft geen uren te kosten, je kan zelfs overwegen de aankleding van je Facebook account mee te nemen, zeker als je van Facebook af wilt.
Laat
je niet gek maken met verhalen dat Minds bomvol
fascistische/racistische propaganda staat, dat is niet zo, bovendien wordt er gewerkt aan een manier dat soort berichten te weren, aldus de oprichter Bill Ottoman. (en nee dat is niet de censuur in de normale betekenis van het woord, daar fascisten eenmaal aan de macht, lak hebben aan de vrijheid van meningsuiting [en democratie], bovendien propageren fascisten regelmatig geweld en dat op basis van een enorm aantal leugens en het smerig zaaien van haat en angst)
Hier
het verhaal van Eleanor Goldfield, waarin ze e.e.a. uitgebreid
toelicht en aangeeft dat Facebook al veel eerder bezig was met censuur, zo zijn er al een ongelofelijk aantal accounts van Palestijnen verwijderd, daar ze kritiek hebben op Israël en nee dat mogen Palestijnse mensen niet van Facebook, zelfs niet als één of meerdere familieleden van hen is/zijn vermoord door het Israëlische leger! Aan het eind van het artikel zie je ook een link naar LBRY blockchain, waar je o.a. berichten van Anti-Media kan vinden, vind LBRY zelf overigens nogal een propvolle, drukke site, zie zelf maar:

“Why
can’t I see your posts anymore?”
“I’ve
had to re-follow you several times on Facebook.”
These
are but a few of the various comments and complaints about my
Facebook page that I’ve fielded the past two years. With growing
regularity and intensity, the cheery blue “F” has fucked over
radical journalists like me, emboldened by the Russiagate and fake
news narratives that brand any dissident or alternative media as our
generation’s folk devils. While recent crackdowns have been far
more pointed and Orwellian than before, censorship and Facebook go
way back.
In
2012, The
Guardian reported on
Facebook’s arbitrary and ridiculous nudity and violence guidelines
which allow images
of crushed limbs but – dear god spare us the image of a woman
breastfeeding. Still, people stayed – and Facebook grew. In 2014,
Facebook admitted to mind
control games via
positive or negative emotional content tests on unknowing and
unwilling platform users. Still, people stayed – and Facebook grew.
Following the 2016 election, Facebook responded to the Harpie shrieks
from the corporate Democrats by setting
up a so-called “fake news” task force to
weed out those dastardly commies (or socialists or anarchists or
leftists or libertarians or dissidents or…). And since then, I’ve
watched my reach on Facebook drain like water in a bathtub – hard
to notice at first and then a spastic swirl while people bicker about
how to plug the drain.
And
still, we stayed – and the censorship tightened. Roughly a year
ago, my
show Act Out! reported on
both the censorship we were experiencing but also the cramped filter
bubbling that Facebook employs in order to keep the undesirables out
of everyone’s news feed. Still, I stayed – and the censorship
tightened. 2017 into 2018 saw more and more activist
organizers, particularly
black and brown,
thrown into Facebook jail for questioning systemic violence and
demanding better. In August, puss bag ass hat in a human suit Alex
Jones was banned from Facebook – YouTube, Apple and Twitter
followed suit shortly thereafter. Some folks celebrated. Some others
of us skipped the party because we could feel what was coming.
On
October 11th of this year, Facebook
purged more than 800 pages including
The Anti-Media, Police the Police, Free Thought Project and many
other social justice and alternative media pages. Their explanation
rested on the painfully flimsy foundation of “inauthentic
behavior.” Meanwhile, their fake-news checking team is stacked with
the likes of the Atlantic Council and the
Weekly Standard,
neocon junk organizations that peddle such drivel as “The
Character Assassination of Brett Kavanaugh.”
Soon after, on the Monday before the Midterm elections, Facebook
blocked another 115 accounts citing
once again, “inauthentic behavior.” Then, in mid November, a
massive New York Times piece chronicled
Facebook’s long road to not only save its image amid rising
authoritarian behavior, but “to discredit activist protesters, in
part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros.” (I
consistently find myself waiting for those Soros and Putin checks in
the mail that just never appear.)
What
this all proves is what was already clear two years ago: Facebook is
afraid of dissenting voices – and they have the power to drain the
social media presence of this rising tide of leftist ire. We can’t
plug this drain. The drain (and the entire bathtub) is in the hands
of a private corporation that has intertwined itself with the
government in a perverse partnership based on silencing dissent and
streamlining a Stepford-like online experience. Russia’s bad,
nipples are hidden, Santa is white, go back to sleep. Put simply, if
we are interested in uncovering truth, building networks, fighting
for justice and freedom, we have to make a shift.
I
understand why people stay – I understand why I stayed. More than a
quarter of humanity uses Facebook; it’s been deemed too
big to delete.
People go there for connection – to see kids growing, to see what
people are cooking, to reassure themselves that an ex’s new partner
is ugly. People go there to build their brands. I’ve personally
built followings for two bands, several organizations and one TV show
on the platform. But I can no longer get through. I, and journalists
like me, can not break through that aforementioned perverse
partnership.
It
follows that the “news” people get on Facebook, a
main source for news,
will never be the news from the front lines of our fights. It will
never be the news from the most marginalized and oppressed folks. It
will never be the news that hits straight at the heart of this
crooked, corrupt system. It will be sanitized, whitewashed, twisted
propaganda that serves and protects the owners of corporate media –
the very same corporations that depend on our oppression, distraction
and apathy. It will be infotainment and whatever makes you feel good
about you. Because
that means you’ll keep coming back. And as you go back, you’ll
expose yourself entirely to the blue and white algorithm. Indeed,
outside of Orwellian censorship, Facebook also excels at spying on
us.
Already back
in 2008,
alternative media reported on the surveillance power of Facebook. Ten
years later and after his historic NSA leaks, Edward
Snowden reminded us that
“Facebook is a surveillance company rebranded as ‘social media.’”
It seems a hyperbolic visual but the dystopian picture of a
constantly surveilled human being scrolling through banal content
curated by a state-sponsored corporation is very real.
Since
the October purge, calls from the left regarding alternatives have
been loud but splintered.
Many
suggest that we go back to the days of analog organizing – phone
calls, knocking on doors, in-person meetings. As an organizer, I was
unaware that we had ever stopped doing that. Truly, face-to-face
organizing remains the most effective tool for us social beings. At
the same time, to cast off the advancements of technological
networking would be to walk away from an internet designed to be a
place of collaboration and sharing. We shouldn’t and don’t have
to do that.
What
we need is an open source, non-surveillance platform. And right now,
that platform is Minds.
Before you ask, I’m not being paid to write that. My relationship
with Minds consists of my account there and an interview with Minds
co-founder Bill Ottman on my show.
Fashioned
as an alternative to the closed and creepy Facebook behemoth, Minds
advertises itself as “an open source and decentralized social
network for Internet freedom.” Minds prides itself on being
hands-off with regards to any content that falls in line with what’s
permitted by law, which has elicited critiques from some on the left
who say Minds is a safe haven for fascists and right-wing extremists.
Yet, Ottman has himself stated openly that he wants ideas on content
moderation and ways to make Minds a better place for social network
users as well as radical content creators.
What
a few fellow journos and I are calling #MindsShift is an important
step in not only moving away from our gagged existence on Facebook,
but in building a social network that can serve up the real news
folks are now aching for. To be clear, we aren’t advocating that
you delete your Facebook account – unless you want to. For many,
Facebook is still an important tool and our goal is to add to the
outreach toolkit, not suppress it.
We
have set January 1st, 2019 as the ultimate date for this #MindsShift.
Several outlets with a combined reach of millions of users will be
making the move – and asking their readerships/viewerships to move
with them. Along with fellow journalists, I am working with Minds to
brainstorm new user-friendly functions and ways to make this
#MindsShift a loud and powerful move. We ask that you, the reader,
add to the conversation by joining the #MindsShift and spreading the
word to your friends and family. (Join
Minds via this link)
We have created the
#MindsShift open group on
Minds.com so that you can join and offer up suggestions and ideas to
make this platform a new home for radical and progressive media.
Now
is the time to defend the remnants of the Information Revolution. In
the streets and online, we need to hear and uplift voices for radical
and progressive change. Take off the corporate gag, close the social
media surveillance blinds, and shift.

Since you’re here…
…We have a small favor to ask. Fewer and fewer people are seeing Anti-Media articles as social media sites crack down on us, and advertising revenues across the board are quickly declining. However, unlike many news organizations, we haven’t put up a paywall because we value open and accessible journalism over profit — but at this point, we’re barely even breaking even. Hopefully, you can see why we need to ask for your help. Anti-Media’s independent journalism and analysis takes substantial time, resources, and effort to produce, but we do it because we believe in our message and hope you do, too.
If everyone who reads our reporting and finds value in it helps fund it, our future can be much more secure. For as little as $1 and a minute of your time, you can support Anti-Media. Thank you. Click here to support us=================================
Nog een tip van mij: als je een account opent op Minds, gooi dan niet al je personalia te grabbel, zoals velen deden op Facebook, misbruik en inbraak zijn weliswaar veel moeilijker, maar de kans bestaat uiteraard dat dit wel kan gebeuren.
