Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
WTH do you think was going on with the Facebook global outage and this whistleblower lady?
- Thread starter BLatta12
- Start date
Facebook was getting the ole BleachBit while pushing the fake whistleblower out there to regulate the competition.
Tech knows regulation is coming, with both sides of the aisle and Europe supporting it, so they’re trying to shape that narrative as favorably as possible.
The other option, with patriots being in control of everything behind the scenes, is this who charade was put in place to increase the public support to regulate and go after big tech.
More ability to “censor” is only gonna drive more people away from the legacy platforms and Facebook and the like know this which is why I think option #2 is more likely.
Eventually I think section 230 is removed like Trump wants and these platforms become responsible for their algorithms and how those algorithms drive information (propaganda) in certain ways.
