| | I read in readwriteweb.com this am very early that Facebook has made a deal with Politico to sell out its republican users & or anyone who mentions the name of a Republican Presidential candidate. IF you don't recognize that for what it is, let me explain it to you. It is no secret that Facebook is the data collecting tool of the U S government, in particular the democrats and especially Obama's reelection campaign. Remember when Obama met privately with Zuckerberg about Facebook? Well, now we as a nation know what that was about. Facebook agreed to sell or give to a political magazine online,[Politico] the info INCLUDING the private direct messages & emails & private confidential info of any person who mentions a REPUBLICAN [upper case as in party name] candidate for them to be "analyzed" and included in some sort of study without their consent. now, ask yourself: what could the possible motive be for that? And you arrive at the same answers I did; so let me list them for you: 1) Zuckerberg & Politico are trying to suppress/intimidate republicans [lower case as a class not a party] from expressing their support of a Republican; and or 2) Zuckerberg & Politico are making "gifts in kind " contributions as the FEC calls them to the democratic party in exchange for something; and or 3) Zuckerberg & Politico are trying to sway/influence the election through tricks & chicanery [fake "studies"]; and or 4) Zuckerberg & Politico are democrats and Facebook is a de facto P.A.C for the democratic party using users info to support the democrats, and supplying them voter's emails, home addresses, isp domains' DNS; and or 4) Zuckerberg & Politico are communist & don't believe in the First Amendment liberties of freedom of speech,press, conscience, and the right to participate in government & the right to protest the government. Which ever of the options you select from the list above, it's bad news. It is a blatant attempt to use the info of people that was not given to Facebook, or owned by Facebook, to a political party for reasons above. That entire effort is so unconstitutional on the face of it. It steals users' info; it forces contributions by unwitting, unwilling people to support the democratic party [by creating fear of writing in republicans], ir coerces political involvement; it denies to an entire class of people [republicans] the first amendment liberties and the 4th amendment liberties to be free of unreasonable searches & seizures by the government. iF you think Politico is NOT political, you would be fooling yourself. They had a moderator at some of the candidates' debates; and their very name is derived from the word politics. They are absolutely political! I see several ways to fight back against this; and I encourage Facebook users to do one of these: 1) quit Facebook & delete your acct in protest. Be counted for civil liberties! 2) write about Republican candidates by name e.g. Rick Perry in every sentence to skew their political research. 3) march and protest violation of civil liberties by Facebook, Zuckerberg & Politico. This is one of my methods of protesting. I have NEVER trusted Facebook since they send me notices about my so-called Facebook account but I do not have a Facebook account. But I care about everyone's civil liberties including & especially their first amendment rights to participate in political and or religious speech without reprisal.
