Facebook Pin Hacker' title='Facebook Pin Hacker' />Politics Features Louise Mensch Paste. People are always pissed off at Facebook. Mixed In Key Serial Code Macif. Im often one of them. Their data machine scares the hell out of me, as it does many Americans, but not because I believe theyre doing anything particularly malicious with my personal information. It scares me because they dont know what theyre doing with it, or whos using it, or how. Or why. They dont know their own strength. When you think about this for a few seconds, the problem becomes clear Im not mad at Facebook Im mad at America. Im mad at capitalism. Okay, Im a little mad at Facebookbut we all got taken last year, including the U. S. government. More accurately, Im conflicted, and mad, that theres no ethical way to regulate free misinformation on these vast platforms that have grown beyond the profit motive to become the very infrastructure of profit. Theres no better example of this problem than Facebooks role in the 2. Last month Facebook reported to Congress that Russian entities bought about 1. Trump stories, fake news, and attacks on the Clinton campaign.

The Facebook website was. Theyre not alone Google, You. Tube, owned by Google and Instagram owned by Facebook also reported ad buys. And to be fair, the public is going after Facebook because it was the first of these platforms to own up, after it conducted a long running internal investigation. Granted, Facebook probably also felt the most pressure, and critics would say it was long running because they dragged their feet. But theres no denying they were the first to begin opening up. The press, by and large, hasnt yet made a similar effort to expose other ad and news and misinformation distribution platforms such as Google and Twitter. Were in for a rude awakening. In the face of that awakening, we need to be more realistic and responsible about who we blame for attacking America, and not say stupid shit like this Because theres no better example of the effect of Facebooks role in the 2. Louise Mensch. Shes been roundly discredited and I dont believe has anywhere near the credibility she once did, but her divisive, dishonest, and often totally batshit misinformation is still somehow taken seriously by hundreds of thousands of people. Mensch, who, instead of offering hopealong with other self styled journalists on the left and the righthas instead stoked, sometimes willfully, the uncertainties and fears that Russias attack stirred in all of us. I can see no other way to classify this as, yes, fake news. And I mean fake. That tweet is not the language of a mistake. So lets just knock Mensch down once and for all, shall weIn this longform expos, Im going to do that, but also want to illustrate just how dangerous misinformation is, and how difficult it is, when elements of truth are mixed with misleading or false or incomplete information, to tell the difference between this misinformation and your own patterns of thought. Youll see the extreme lengths Ill have to go to in order to do this, especially when the misinformation comes from someone as smart and slick as Mensch. It felt like I ran a marathon. This is why Russias Facebook campaign did so much damage It gave us Mensch and Cernovich and a raft of acolytes and wannabes clamoring for attention on all sides. So Im going to do two things 1. Show how the Trump campaign could have coordinated an information attack with Russia out in plain sight, using Facebook, with no one knowing. But in order to get you there, Im first going to. Prove Mensch is and always has been wrong. Fair warning This article is fucking long and annoyingly detailed. Please feel free to skip ahead at anytime to the Facebook part section You Hate America. But theres something to take away from this, too I needed to write a 9,0. Yes, its that bad. So think of all the work full time journalists spend disproving all the batshit claims it takes Trump less than a second to fire off, let alone handling the continuous flood of fake news and lies and lies by omission that disinformation specialists write, record, and post all day, every day. Now try to distinguish professionals from freelance writers from citizen journalists from disinformation agents from a dude with a blog or a long Facebook or Reddit post. Or a meme. Now imagine trying to discern in that miasma whats an intentional lie from whats factually incorrect from whats hazy misinformation thats partly true but partly not, and whether the partly not part is intentional or simply incorrect. Now square that with the First Amendment. Now multiply those claims by billions. Per day. Thats what some of us seem to expect from Facebook and Google. So yes, Im going to swallow a pill and stand up for Facebook, not because I particularly like them or trust or support them, and definitely not because I think they bear no blame for Trumps election. They do, and they very likely violated FEC rules, for which they should bear the harshest punishment available. But the truth matters. Even if its corporate. Truth, Inc. This is so simple and obvious I cant believe I need to write the sentence, let alone this article Facebook didnt conspire with the Russian government to commit espionage against the United States. They didnt do it willfully, theyre not in Putins pocket, theyre not willful agents of Russian influence out to corrode national security, blah blah blah. Facebook is simply a business, one that built a platform of such a size, complexity, and power that the company itself couldnt fathom its vulnerabilities and the contradictions. Facebook is a geeky kid in high school P. E., concerned only with himself, basking in the brilliance of his own brain during free time, and he got pantsed. That doesnt mean we shouldnt be alarmed. Facebook was doing the same thing it does to us with ads every day Exercising capitalism to an irresponsible degree. If anything, that is what should scare you It was business as usual. Now, though, the bullshit. The Bullshit. Out of necessity Im going to rewind the clock to the day before the election. Itll get super esoteric for a while, but its only because I have to lock up my case. To do that I have to go back to the report from which all of Menschs subsequent credibility and notoriety derives. There are enough inconsistencies in Menschs claims, which themselves are often dubious, that when combined with her lies about those reports being confirmed, I advocate we throw her report out altogether in favor of a similar, more sober, and more widely corroborated report from a BBC columnist. How to hack any Facebook account in under a minute, by sending just one SMS. Steps How to Hack Facebook Account Password is the tutorial I made to continue the other how to hack facebook tutorial from Hackingtutorial. There are quite a few things that you can do to prevent an attack on your Facebook account, and a few things you can do to fix things if it does get hacked. Try this. Though there are reasons to be skeptical of that report, too. You can either take me at my word about Mensch, who reported back in July that the death penalty is being considered for Steve Bannon and others, including Rudy Giuliani of all people, and skip ahead to the part on Facebook, which you can find under the friendly header You Hate America. Or you can take a ride with me as your tour guide through this murky but mesmerizing misinformation swamp until we come out on the other side. About Mensch. Louise Mensch, Brexit advocate and conservative former Member of Parliament, rose to renown last November when she published her FISA report in Rupert Murdochs Heat Street the day before the Presidential election. This link to her report goes to an archived page, because the original report has since been taken down from Heat Street, along with Mensch herself.
