JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: AMERICA DESCENDING INTO MADNESS - FACEBOOK AND SO-CALLED RUSSIAN ADS - INFLUENCING OTHERS? JUST THINK OF AMERICA'S 2 MILLION OR SO KILLINGS IN THE MIDDLE EAST



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JEREMY WHITE IN THE INDEPENDENT


Facebook says 126 million Americans may have been exposed to Russia-linked US election posts
Some 11 million saw adverts purchased by Russian-linked agents

What complete horse manure.

At any given time, Facebook is loaded with every possible description of influence-peddling and advertising and just plain insanity.

Facebook itself at times resembles a criminal syndicate with purchased fake "likes," fake trending news items, false claims of every imaginable type, its own biased efforts to influence a national election, selling and manipulating user information, and, of course, often serving as a front for the CIA. Its pretentiously t-shirted multi-billionaire owner is likely one of greatest hypocrites in America.

I read that the so-called Russian posts amounted to 0.004% of Facebook's flow at the time.

Truly, America is descending into madness.

And, just remember, when speaking of influencing others, America's Neocon Wars have killed at least 2 million over the last 15 years and reduced millions more to hopeless refugees.

Hard to imagine influencing people more than that. Or doing so in a more evil fashion.
