Joseph Menn — U.S. think tank's tiny lab helps Facebook battle fake social media


The Atlantic Council is now the national censor.

Check out who and what the Atlantic Council represents and who funds it, and then go figure. Right, the Atlanticists, a euphemism for the Anglo-American Empire of the combined American and British elite and their European vassals.
Facebook donated an undisclosed amount to the lab in May that was enough, said Graham Brookie, who runs the lab, to vault the company to the top of the Atlantic Council’s donor list, alongside the British government.…
The [Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research] Lab was founded by Brookie, a National Security Council advisor in the last four years of the Obama administration. Ben Nimmo is a co-founder. He joined after stints as a journalist covering the Baltic states as they sparred with Russia a decade ago and as a spokesman for NATO on Russia and Ukraine. 
Well, what did you expect?

“Facebook Inc. has asked big U.S. banks to share financial information on their customers that includes checking account balances and card transactions, as it seeks to expand its own service offer and stem slowing growth.”

The English language does not have the words to properly condemn this.

I myself have never registered on Facebook, or ever looked at a Facebook page – and I never will. Nor have I ever registered on twitter, or any other big social media web site.

Speaking of Facebook, a “terrifying” Ipsos poll shows that 43 percent of registered Republicans said they believe that, "The president should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior."

[ However 100 PERCENT of registered Democrats believe that social media giants should have the authority to close down anyone engaged in bad behavior such as questioning the Russia-gate hoax. Or such as questioning drag queen festivals in which cross-dressing children are made to do salacious strip-teases. ]

Questioning kiddie-drag-queen-fests is what got Alex Jones banned from most social media sites.

Who will be banned next?

I wish I knew how to embed images in these comment threads. I would show an image of rampaging zombies with a caption saying. “What you thought a zombie apocalypse looks like.” Beside it would be the image from the Reuters article above, which shows Facebook users. Its caption would be, “What a zombie apocalypse really looks like.”

As for the text of the Reuters article, it is typical trash connected with the Russia-gate hoax.

Note the the British government (controlled by the British elite) was the largest contributor before the massive FB injection.

The sea-power British elite is a traditional adversary of land-power Germany and Russia.

This rivalry led to WWI, was a chief factor in WWII, and the Brits (elite) are now leading the way again, far ahead of the US elite.

There is a much closer connection between the British elite, the attempt to take down Trump based on Trumpgate and Russiagate, and the Steele dossier than most people realize. This is now starting to seep out.

MI6 (the operational arm of the British elite is also behind many of the of the "issues," especially Syria and Ukraine through those it supports or controls.
