This May Be Nothing

But I wonder if Facebook could have an overwhelming large lawsuit against them for electioneering. Now it is no big secret that Facebook’s political leaning are a bit left of center to the point of draconian censorship and deplatforming. And since the Facebook meticulously tracks user location and is passively aware of polling locations as you can find your location through Facebook...and yet does not disable itself while within a polling location leaving these one sided view open and available for viewing...that could be considered electioneering.

Yes, FB working with Domion voting machines comes to my thinking also.

Social Media engages in "in-kind" political contributions with no penalties !!😃😃

Big Corps acting more like governments than businesses too 😃😃

The joke's on WHO again ??😃😃

Has there ever been an election where there has been no claim of voter fraud or electioneering?

I left a church back in 2004, due to a priest standing in the pulpit and telling the parishioners how he thought they should vote. From slogans to paraphernalia, to bribes, and threats, it has gone on from the beginning. What makes this any different.

Is it wrong? Of course it is. Whether it takes place in our country or any other, it is wrong. I just think we are looking in the wrong places to fix this problem. I sure don't trust the fox to guard the hen house.

Just my opinion.

There will have to be a collapse before anyone is held accountable for all the electioneering. The left is a coordinated machine right now and I don’t see that coming to an end any time soon. Judges around the country are denying the right from even doing investigations. I don’t know iwhere all this is headed but I don’t have a good feeling.

They're doing that and soooo much more
Twitter and the rest of them, too
they're partly responsible for the riots and civil rest as of late as well imho
There are big programs behind the scenes- dont forget Jeff Bezos has a Pentagon seat and $600 million / year CIA contract...

I've said all along social media and MSM committed election interference. It was so freaking blatant and it is EXTREMELY disturbing that at least half of America, and who knows around the world, believe the lies surrounding Trump. I thought America had propaganda laws, I mean why didn't the Left just drop leaflets on us all with pictures of Trump grabbin' kitties and listing all the quotes that MSM twisted and chopped up and puréed to make Orange Man look Bad?

Who would sue Facebook?

Really.

Who has the money?

There'd be no backing from the judicial system.

The Biden Just-us Department would laugh at you.

It's a Banana Republic, boss.

The bad guys won.

Facebook was quick to silence any discussion on election interference along with twitter, youtube, MSM and the corporate fact checking trolls. The only reasonable justification I can see to take such action is because they know what the results of open public discourse on this matter will be and they do not want the public masses to wake up.

So there usual tactic is to hypnotize the masses with 'the most secure election ever', regardless of what the evidence says. Overall it has been quite an amazing takeover of America from within with few shots fired. One Senator lost a son in law to keep him quite, seams like a lot of threats, blackmail and intimidation going on in the background.

I know nothing about electioneering. It may be happening, but I have no clue how they could prove it was happening, because those Media Giants used fact checking and cherry picked social parroting to determine what they left or removed or monitored. They did lean Democrat for sure, but some news outlets leaned Republican or conservative too and derailed the other side just like the Democrats did. It is just that the Liberal backed social media giants and media were much aggressive at censoring things than the conservative sites were. I do not think that it is wise to let the progressive and far left have much power in this country, they do not assess the changes they are making well, they will throw our society into chaos...Oh, too late, they already did that.

We are doomed to be a country of extreme chaos for at least five years more.

I see basic definition needs to be laid down Electioneering

It can be as simple as shirts, signs, buttons, etc. But this is an app on your phone that is active. It may or may not be engaging the microphone or even speakers to transmit a subliminal message or tone at a frequency that elicits a response...peaceful, anxious, etc.

Who knows what could be going on. Maybe even actual campaign ads played at sub-audible levels but at a level that is perceived. For example I think I hear the cicadas right now because I have heard them all day long but I am just remembering the sound as my tinnitus rings. The frequency is close enough to fill in with the cicada song.

They will drive America Into the ground before anything changes, as to which will never happen. The left have roots that run deep which will germinate regardless.

Seems like a bit of a stretch. Besides it would apply across the board so any website you might have notifications turned on for pushing a notification of a political nature would be guilty as well or even worse grandma sends you a text: "Sweetie, just got done voting, hope our candidate wins" and next thing you know granny is doing hard time for electioneering.

Seems like many here didn't get what you were talking about.

Other apps tend not to track their users to the degree that Facebook does, even suggesting “checking in” when you are at various locations like McDonald’s or Walmart, etc. So given the political bias present and the tracking, why wouldn’t they voluntarily temporarily disable themselves?

a reply to: NightSkyeB4Dawn

Oh, yes I remember when politicians were talking about making churches pay taxes if they were going to preach politics from the pulpit, but it was easier to kill churches completely and that is what happen now, covid was an excuse to end organized religion.

Social media has become a brainwahsing entity engaged in all kinds of aspect of life and telling their followers how they should behave, talk, vote and lean on ideologies, like a cult.

A very dangerous cult, legislation needs to be passed to stop this crap.

As for voter fraud, the Democrats are all over the place now screaming that is not such thing, I guess people have short time memories and forgot about Hillary and how fraud was the main subject for along time when she lost the elections.

Democrats pay back supporting antifa and BLM, what happen to the Tea party movement?

I say social media can become one of the most dangerous entities in our nation and globally as they control communications.

And China is watching very closely, who knows they may buy all the social medias eventually.

Tracking isn't what makes electioneering, electioneering.

The definition I came across stated it was active promotion of one candidate over another, which is why me examples mentioned push notifications from sites, which have content doing that, and a private message doing the same.

I'm just pointing out that it would apply to many more companies/people than just FB.

Or prosecute? There are sovereign nations, Poland, Australia and now India looking at their statutes with a view to amending existing or creating new laws to prevent social media corps using censorship in ways that contradict national interests and sovereignty and also circumvent citizens rights within their own countries. I'm guessing this would include attempts at extra-national electioneering and interfering in the democratic process.

In the case of India this even includes C19 fake news.

I really think every nation ought show big SM cyber corp the big finger and prosecute them for behaving as though their 'business models and policies' are in some way exceptional and do not need heed nations laws within the nations RL domain.

The tracking point is proof that they know where you are and should not be sending push notifications while you are there due to their biased content. It is campaigning inside a polling location which is the pentacles of electioneering....just like those poll workers wearing particular masks...

Do they actually do this?

I'm thinking they just push cause there is something new, like any site would when they notify you of something.

My point is that any site doing this would be guilty, under your interpretation, if they have political biased content, whether they track you or not.

a reply to: daskakik

Perhaps...but if you don’t track locations then you could claim innocence or at least ignorance. Easy solution is to not send a push notification on Election Day, but that cuts into advertising revenue.
