    Facebook misrepresented the value of video ads to marketers, which resulted directly in companies laying off writers to bring on expensive video producers, and in turn laying THEM off when the video ads produced nothing.

    Paypal just cut off Gab's account per an email to Gizmodo

    https://gizmodo.com/paypal-bans-far-...sem-1830050551

    PayPal has canceled the Gab.Ai account. The company is diligent in performing reviews and taking account actions. When a site is explicitly allowing the perpetuation of hate, violence or discriminatory intolerance, we take immediate and decisive action.
    Edit: Gab will lose its hosting Monday morning and Stripe is gonna terminate their account next week.

    Facebook Allows White Supremacist Ad then Apologizes After Being Called Out & Promises to Add More Human Reviewers
    News site The Intercept was able to launch a promotion aimed at 168,000 users interested in "white genocide."

    The Intercept's investigative reporting showed "how easy" it was for extremist groups to promote their messages of hate on the social network.

    "Once again, the site has only taken action when someone else has brought it to their attention," Mr Collins told the BBC.

    The Intercept says it was able to start an ad campaign entitled "White Supremacy - Test" targeted at users who "expressed an interest or like pages related to 'White genocide conspiracy theory'".

    The news site claims its request to start the campaign was manually approved by a member of Facebook's advertising department.

    Hot off the presses with some amazing investigative journalism. Some hot takes:

    * The Zuck hired a PR firm to write antisemitic hit pieces on and attempt to link critics of Facebook to George Soros in an attempt to discredit them.

    * Chuck Schumer is actively running defense for Facebook in the Senate; unsurprising given Facebook is one of his top donors and his daughter works for them.

    Amazon Cuomo and Facebook Schumer has a ring to it.

    I can't wait for the massive political blowback, like when the Times revealed that the entire Trump family fortune has been built off of fraud and dirty dealings and then two weeks later ProPublica confirmed in another article that it continues today and there was immediately massive media coverage and hearings on the matter.

    I think that is a trash move by the Zuck, but if society punished antisemetic Facebook ads we would have a different president.

    There is also a very real chance that all of this coming to light is somehow driven by another tech giant. The tech giants have gone negative on each other lately in their hunt for young (predominantly liberal) talent.

    Did I never notice Zuck had a lazy eye or is it just that picture?
