JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE LANGUAGE OF SOVIET APPARATCHIKS LIVES ON - FACEBOOK CRACKDOWN ON "COORDINATED INAUTHENTIC BEHAVIOR"

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN MINT PRESS



“Facebook’s Troll Hunter in Chief Nathaniel Gleicher Tied to Neocon Think Tank

“While Facebook claims impartiality in its crackdown on “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” the loyalties of the man charged with carrying out that mission. if his resume is any indication, are not with the users”



'crackdown on “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” '

Isn't that statement all anyone should need to make a sound critical judgment on this whole effort to demonize free speech?

Please, how on earth do you determine whether someone else's behavior is "inauthentic"?

And inauthentic as compared to what standard?

The standard set by our mainline American press with its time immemorial support for whatever America’s government does, including invasion and overthrow and bombing?
