Facebook has permitted a large network of Facebook pages and groups — with names like Trump's Deplorable Army, To The Death Media, and One Angry Conservative — to spread disinformation about voting in the 2020 election to millions of people.
FB will never hold these people accountable by stopping them or punishing them for violations. It’s not about free speech for them; it’s about revenue. As long as these pages & networks generate $$ for them, they’ll allow it. That’s the bottom line. Exposure of this behavior sadly doesn’t bother them more than the idea of losing a little cash...
I am looking forward to the day Treasury Secretary Elizabeth Warren and Attorney General Sally Yates hold the executives of Facebook to account. It is inexcusable for Zuckerberg, Sandberg, and the rest of Facebook's executive team to make millions by putting our democracy at risk.
Thank You! again for your and Tesnim's work with Popular Information.
My subscription is like a daily defense against the constant onslaught of psychological abuse being doled out by the powers-that-be, by the corporate media, and by so many other malicous actors.
It's amazing how healthful clear, concise, and truthful information can be in these very sick times.
The United States is over. Facebook is complicit in dismantling our freedoms. Trump is on his way to re-election because the right is going to continue to cheat at every turn and the powers at play (zuckerberg) are going to allow this to continue. They will never fully delete any of these conservative pages because they generate views and traffic which leads to $$$. Zuckerberg and Trump do not care how much damage they do as long as they both enrich themselves in the short run. The constant law breaking and rule breaking is exhausting. Democrats are not willing to do what needs to be done. They continue to try and toe the imaginary line of "being on the right side of history" and by doing so, they are allowing the republicans to run wild and cheat their way to another 4 years of a wannabe dictator.

Once again, this in-depth reporting is incredibly valuable. Thank you Judd.

I also bailed from Facebook a couple of years ago; it wasn’t easy, but I kept trying until it happened.
Send a message to Zuckerberg; shut down your FACEBOOK account. I did!
