As Facebook continues to grapple with the revelations of private user data being leaked to Cambridge Analytica, and taking part in the suspicious deplatforming of Alex Jones (and many other alt-news fan pages), the social media giant has taken a double-digit hit on key metrics.
Facebook recently announced it had partnered with the Atlantic Council in an effort to combat “fake news” on its platform. An offshoot of NATO, the Council’s board of directors is a who’s who of neo-conservative hawks, including Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger and James Baker; CIA directors like Robert Gates, Leon Panetta and Michael Hayden; retired generals like Wesley Clark and David Petraeus; as well as senior tech executives. Forty-five percent of Americans get their news from Facebook. When an organization like the Atlantic Council decides what news we see and do not see, that is tantamount to state censorship.
By Joseph Jankowski Facebook is now rating the trustworthiness of its users as a part of the effort to tackle “fake news.” The new trustworthiness score, which was first reported in the Washington Post, will work on a scale of zero to 1 and is one of thousands of new behavioral tools Facebook uses to monitor its […]
The current “cracking down” on “fake news” coming from giants like Facebook or Youtube, is nothing more than blatant censorship of views that are challenging the official narrative. The current trend is quite disturbing, but fortunately, a lot of users of the social media giant are aware of their censorship and started raising their concerns all over Facebook.
For the second time this year, Facebook has suspended teleSUR English’s page, claiming the left-leaning Latin American news network violated the social media platform’s terms of service without any further explanation—a move that provoked outrage and concern among journalists, free speech advocates, and Big Tech critics. (NOTE: Facebook has also removed many, many other alternative news sites – including CLN – without explanation!)
Good news, the fate of the world has not changed during my week of freedom from reading Trump news or watching Trump related media.

Alex Jones banned, the Mind Unleashed disappears, and hundreds of other alt-news fan pages (including ConsciousLifeNews) removed… Is Facebook’s continued purge of dissenting voices on its platform going to lead to the demise of the company? Ben Swann gives it a Reality Check.
Some members of Congress, who clearly don’t like the spirit of the First Amendment, are working with Internet gatekeepers at Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple (now a trillion-dollar corporation) to try to prevent you from accessing information they haven’t approved.
Apparently not satisfied with access to its users’ call history, text messaging data, and online conversations, Facebook has reportedly asked major Wall Street firms like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo to hand over their customers’ sensitive financial data as part of the social media giant’s ongoing attempt to become “a platform where people buy and sell goods and services.”
In this video, Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange is joined by Derrick Broze to discuss YouTube and its financial support of mainstream news while suppressing alternative outlets. Facebook has moved in a very similar direction as well, removing the fan pages of over 80 alternative news sites – including ConsciousLifeNews.com.
The days of “YouTube” are over and the time of “ThemTube” is upon us.
The historian carried secrets too heavy for one man to bear
Less than a week after the New York Times revealed in an explosive report that Facebook formed agreements with a number of major device-makers that gave them vast access to users’ personal data without their consent, yet another report—this time by the Wall Street Journal—alleged on Friday that the social media giant gave a select list of companies “special access” to user data after it claimed to have “walled off” such information. Internally called “whitelists,” these secretive deals “allowed certain companies to access additional information about a user’s Facebook friends,” the Journal reported, citing court documents and anonymous Facebook officials.
