Election Meddling! Facebook Gags Italian Populists Two Weeks Before EU Elections

Alternatives To State-run Social Media: >>>/prepare/20 | https:// archive.fo/xXXOY

Facebook has banned 23 major Italian pro-populist pages with a combined 2.5 million followers two weeks before the European elections, according to Italy's La Stampa.

The majority of the bans were for supporters of the current coalition government; La Lega (The League), headed by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, and the 5-star movement, M5S, led by Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio. Among them, the most popular Facebook page for La Lega was taken down, right as polls reveal massive support for the party.

Facebook claims that the sites were spreading "fake news", "hate speech," and "divisive content" about migrant invasions, toxins in vaccines and Jews, after left-wing "human rights" and environmentalist-government organization Avaaz issued a report on "inauthentic behavior" over Italian Facebook networks.

"We have also taken action against some pages that have repeatedly spread [the truth], We will take further measures if we find other violations," added Facebook.

In one example, some of the Facebook pages were sharing a video depicting migrants smashing a car, which was actually an amateur recording of a scene being filmed for an Italian drama, Mediterranea.

In its report, which was presented to Facebook on May 3, Avaaz said it had identified 14 Italian networks on Facebook comprising 104 pages and six groups, with a total reach of 18.2 million followers.

This week, Facebook took punitive action against 23 pages in these networks, with a total of 2.46 million followers and 2.44 million interactions over the last three months.

Facebook has also reportedly “weakened” pages that spread content with allegedly false news, presumably making them less visible to Facebook users.

Italian daily La Repubblica reports that on May 2, Facebook opened a "war room" in Dublin in order to monitor the European elections full time - with 40 teams of engineers, researchers, scientists, threat specialists and experts for each country. Overall, 500 people are working on the elections, while being assisted by 21 "fact checkers" across 14 different languages.

Coming to a 2020 election near you…

I had heard about Zig Forums, but I had never been here before, until I graduated last week. so far, what I see isn't very impressive. whoever you are, your threads are all the same, and they're boring. it's like you're mentally ill. so far, Zig Forums sucks.

welcome to Zig Forums !!……

The 'mentally ill' guy calls himself Killcen

He posts the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

that's why none of us ever read it

Then go away if you don't like reading news.


You don't contribute much yourself other than complaining about me.

Again, if you don't like news, get the fuck off the news board.

where did you graduate from?

UCLA with a bachelor's in bioengineering. I heard about Zig Forums on the news. it sounded interesting, but all I have seen is this same schizophrenic guy posting tons of links and repeating the same nonsense.

He's not schizophrenic. he has hypomania, a subset of bipolar II

Hope you didn't go into too much student loan debt for something like that.


I'm my own doctor and whatever I have is what I say I have!!!

and notice how he just lashed out at you because you noticed that he has nothing new or fresh to offer? That's his pattern. He says he's here to 'report news', but he's really here to validate himself, and if anybody notices that his paranoid conspiracy shit lacks originality, he loses focus and loses self control, throws temper tantrums, and ends up drinking himself blind.

He's a drug addict in denial, who tells himself that alcohol isn't a drug.

my parents paid for it. my father's a surgeon in Beverly Hills, but thank you for your concern. so you self-diagnose and self-medicate? nice combo. how's that working for you so far?

I didn't lash out at him, I lashed out at you for lying and claiming you know whats good for me or best for me, or others for that matter! I'm not angry at him, you are the one trying to get everyone to hate my guts for no reason!!

nope !!!!……………


you've got EGG ZACK LEE™ what I said you've got


hypomania

Its working great. Better than I could have ever imagined. I don't need any drugs, except for an occasional drink of premium scotch whiskey. I try my best not to drink too much.

How did Zig Forums end up becoming the most normalfag/reddit board on this site?

I looked into that before and only had a few of those characteristics, not nearly all of them. And no, I am not bipolar and I get plenty of sleep at night.

The ONLY thing I have is what I normally had, most of my life: alcoholism. I am an alcoholic and I admit that fact. I do my best not to go overboard but when I do, big deal, I have a very bad reputation in my personal life anyway, not many people could handle my obnoxious drunken disgruntled behavior and those that did had some kind of similar substance abuse problems themselves, a couple of friends over the years turned out to be criminals who didn't give a damn about anything anyway and as long as you respected them, they respected you back.

Blame Facebook for that. They are the ones censoring people like myself!!

i-is this US collusion?

Hard to say, its a US corporation and is in bed with the US government so likely it could be considered to be. Depends how others look at it.

fuck you and your irrelevant 'imageboard culture'

Sorry I was eating lunch with Jillian.

She's wearing really short short bluejean cutoffs and a hot pink top today, which accent her long ass legs.

(Alcoholism is just another drug addiction, a sign of weakness and lack of willpower and self-control, and it's also a symptom of bipolar disorder)

lol @ you actually ANSWERING HIS QUESTION

he was making fun of you, not looking for expertise

RE: RESPECT

an imaginary, non-existent concept

something that 'matters' to idiots

you're a master of believing in imaginary non-existent concepts, aren't you?


like 'jesus'

I thought he said meddling, not collusion. And yes, it likely could be considered meddling in elections if you consider they're only targeting one political affiliation. So fuck off.

lol @ 'i looked into hypomania'

hahahaha!!
as if glancing at a webpage equals a degree in psychology……

nope…. TRUST ME…. you've got hypomania

I'm not imagining anything you ass wipe.

he was ridiculing you, not asking for your wisdom

I don't fucking care, you and anyone else who doesn't like it, eat shit.

Thats it. Done talking. More real news is coming and I'm not wasting my time with your bullshit.

that's all you do….

You imagine 'secret connections' and 'hidden conspiracies', you imagine 'god' and 'jesus', you imagine that you've got some 'mystical ability to predict the future', you imagine fabricated concepts like 'respect', you imagine that the government cares about your paranoid beliefs and that marauders are planning on invading your house, you imagine '10,000 lurkers', and you imagine people want to 'learn your mystic ways' and change their lives so they can live like you do.

The article does a good job of proving that FB removing the pages wasn't "censorship" from "reality" but the banning out outright fraudulent pages.

You actually read the article?

weird… That makes one of us………

Lemme guess: you actually read Killcen's entire original post?….
LOL WOW

It's pretty clear HE didn't read his own post since it doesn't support him lol

The only thing they removed that was fake was the film scene of an alleged migrant, as an excuse to censor everything they don't like including nationalist politicians with over 2 million European followers. That IS censorship. Compete Utter CENSORSHIP.

So removing/banning news reports and political content is not censorship anymore? If you think like that you must be good goyim, 100% kosher cattle.

Johnny, you are a leftist piece of shit if I ever did seen one before. You claim to not be political but the truth is you are extremely bias against nationalists and conservatives and anything that does not fit a far-leftist mainstream corporate narrative. You are a commie and I can see right through you. Think about it: you hate Christians, you hate America, you think we natural born citizens don't belong here (yet Mexicans of-course do), you want our guns to be banned and grabbed, you support medical tyranny, you support the police state, you support TV propaganda and Hollywood, you bash religious conservatives unmercifully, you hate the Constitution, you hate our Founding Fathers, you hate alternative news….. I really can't think of anything MORE commie than that.

WTF? I guess I'd rather hang out with commies like Johnny any day than a Debbie Downer like (You). Wew!

Well maybe your a commie too. Too bad I don't give a flying fuck.

Johnny gets a label?
Where's mine?

Not giving a fuck seems pretty popular.
Maybe you're a populist.
Wait. Aren't populists commies?
Maybe you are a commie!

...

Populists typically are not commies, no. Maybe there are a few who are, in other countries, depending. Macron is a commie in France, however he was a populist. However, same with Orban or Trump or Salvini which were right-wing capitalist populists. So it varies between countries and what people desire.

I'm back. I'm the UCLA graduate. Curious if you are aware nobody cool uses Facebook? Not sure why you're so preoccupied with this subject. I'm assuming you are very familiar with Facebook, and had some bad experiences there?

also, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention that you don't seem to know the difference between your and you're

that's just Killcen

the alcohol has pickled his frontal lobe

Yeah, Killcen………

is right
obviously, you were a big Facebook user
who got his feewins huwrt

tell us about it

Oh, he knows the difference.
Did you mid the part where he "doesn't care"?
Maybe he and Johnny really are the same person! Hmmm…

Yeah, I 'mid' dat part.

Killcen, your biggest problem is your failure to
correctly size up your targeted demographics

hint: nobody in here uses Facebook

TRANSLATION: WE DON'T CARE

I don't care either.

Goodbye for now.

I care, Killcen!
Pleeze don't let Johnny drive you to drink before you post some archive links! You don't happen to have any links for me, do you?

Oops. Sorry. I see.
I'll sage away in disgrace now.

Politicians and voters should both stay the fuck off of Facebook. Politicians have too much to gain and voters are too goddamn stupid so Facebook voluntarily suppressing them is the next best thing.

Is a sage like a downvote?
If so, you have been saged.

Yes, it's the same thing.

Too bad they only suppress only one side, not the other. And in the case of Europe, only a suppress a few parties but not the rest. Wonder why that could be?

I'm not drinking, I'm just not feeding you guys any more news today, you don't deserve to be pampered today. You're on your own until I decide I wish to post more news again. Till then, post your own if you think your so much better than I am.

you're*

Why should I give a damn? It won't make a damn difference how I spell. You haters are just going to hate because thats all you can do. I'm not trying to please anyone, why should I? You want to be bastards I'm going to act the same fucking way.

Thank you for demonstrating true maturity. I was looking for direction.

you're*

Q: WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO MEAN TO KILLCEN?

obviously, he got rejected by somebody on facebook, and he needs to vent.

now I finally understand you're anger and rage.
that's what you get for trying to get laid on fb

Never been on Facebook and never will. The point I was making is I'm here because they would N E V E R allow anonymous voices like mine to be on their platforms, ever.

So you like to bitch about me posting news here that you think should not be posted, right? Well then you'll be better off on a controlled / censored platform like Facebook. In fact, you would LOVE it! Because people like me are not allowed there to stir shit up. You'll have your own little private censored island where you can talk about Elvis and young girls and cats and you won't have any of us "conspiracy theorists" or "kooks" reigning on your parade!

Alternative To Facebook:
grindr.com

so she shot you down, huh?
that's okay. there are plenty more where she came from

facebook

perhaps you were coming on too strong?

My anger is all the hatred directed towards me for wasting my time trying to bring you quality real news! If I was smart, I'd leave this board forever and let you guys bicker among yourselves and let this board completely die like Zig Forums!!!

raining*

you're*

Perhaps this is one of the only platforms that ALLOW someone like me to vent my anger and frustration!!? Perhaps almost every fucking clown establishment tech-govt platform out there censors and bans people like me because I don't kiss their boots or play their games or polish their narratives!!? Perhaps I'm here because this site is a great platform for me to vent!?? Come on! Big Tech = Govt and they all suck ass! They hate me as much as I hate them!!! They don't allow my kind over there!!

I could've told you that facebook bimbos are a waste of your time.

have you tried another site like farmersonly.com?

or maybe you should just bite the bullet and go back to Facebook and apologize to her

according to you, everybody 'hates you'

persecution complex?

Again, they should stay the fuck off. It was never an appropriate platform for campaigning in the first place. Hopefully this bias can be one more little push toward cleansing corporate controlled social media of political activity.

All I do is post news here to help keep this board going and all I get is shit on for it. Yes, it makes me mad. Yes, it feels a little like persecution. That doesn't matter too much, but over time it starts to irritate me. Maybe I should leave this board to die? Should I be that much of a jackass too?

So what about all the leftists then too? Why are they not being purged? Why is the censorship only ONE SIDED? Why are populists being banned, but not the establishment? The censorship is one sided. There are exemptions for other politicians, how is that fair!?

You sound like a whiny leftist.
Fair? What planet are you from?

I'm just asking logical questions. Those are logical common sense questions that need to be addressed. Ever think of that? Ever think that bias one-sided censorship can become a problem?

it would be a laugh riot if somebody could show you server logs that proved nobody has ever clicked on ANY of your multiple links before.

comedy gold

You think you can handle listening to a Jew? You might learn something…
So predictable.

That's OK, mod. We already know how many laughs you get over how few of us there are.

I really don't give a damn. You can choose to remain ignorant if you like. For those with an open mind and are interested, they are there and are archived. Some of my links have been from others helping contribute, and I thank those people from the past. Too bad its not like that anymore.

Sure, I'll give it a look.

Don't antagonize the mod. You don't want him to bare his chest and sicken us with his (Sac)ermod powers yet again!
