On 5 Oct 2021 testimony was given before Congress by one Frances Haugen, a supposed whistleblower from Facebook, about the need for certain regulations to be placed upon the media giant. That was the day after Facebook went ‘dark’ for over six hours and lost significant stock value. Was it a warning shot? Who knows? But as to why Frances Haugen is a ‘supposed’ whistleblower, that will be outlined as we go along in this post.

Since that time we have learned that there has been increasing censorship on that site, of anything that contradicts establishment narratives in the countries hosting the site, especially anything that contradicts US/European establishment narratives. But don’t worry. Rest assured that you will get nothing but the most accurate, up-to-date, unbiased reporting of any news via social media. Big Brother is seeing to it that all the fake news is removed from view and that your world view will be suitably insulated from the nasties that seek to usurp democracy and return us to the bad old days of eternal conflict, demagoguery and totalitarianism.
