Libra Me This, Libra Me That, Who’s Afraid of the Big Black Bat?
I find this quite ironic in the wake of Facebook’s overt censoring of content, including their erroneous semantic detection of verboten keywords.
For example, I have a longtime personal friend who is a professional photographer. Jeff was on Facebook for a decade. Predominately advertised his photography business and livelihood via his Facebook page.
Recently, Jeff made a post on his personal wall criticizing a series of unfortunate events around a demonstration held by a white supremacist group in Dayton, Ohio.
The city spent over $600,000 on logistics and security to accommodate a group of less than a dozen racists.
Jeff criticized the group for their publicity stunt to spread their filthy hate. He criticized the city for giving in to their demands.
The Facebook system flagged his post, which was clearly not rationalized. Whether automatic or manual, Jeff ends up with a 3 day account ban.
Upon his return, he is immediately banned for 7 days, then automatically given a lifetime ban.
And so… the Riddles
Did Facebook intend to ban him for life for being rational in his expression?
For expressing anything at all?
How will they be accountable when it comes to economic inclusion and account access?
Now, this cabal of multinational organizations intends to create what is tantamount to its own, virtual, sovereign state powered by digital technology.
What makes them a sovereign state?
Aside from being the digital walled-garden inside of which you are permitted to interact with others under the known, accepted definitions of “community”, it’s their ability to create their own central bank and mint their own private currency.
Now I don’t have a problem with this concept — except that in the circumstances demonstrated by the unspoken rules about expression.
In fact — there’s zero governance at all except that of a whimsical dictatorship powered by one of these biased algorithms we keep reading about.
The one that de-platformed Jeff and instantly removed his primary means of income for… an innocuous expression.
There is no judiciary to petition an unbiased, third party for a ruling on any disputes.
There are no published rules of law.
There’s no representation within the corporate state.
There are no individual rights.
There are company-favoring Terms of Service which nobody takes the time to digest.
There are breaches of individual data. There are intentional conveyances of user information to other entities, governments, complicit parties.
How do I resolve disputes with others when I can’t even resolve disputes with half the corporations on this list?
If history isn’t intentionally scrubbed to eliminate the current inflection point of shift in known social construct — I believe we will look back on these immediate days as the harbinger of the forthcoming dystopia.
The riddles continue to stack a mile high— but fortune consistently favors the bold.
But in consideration of who is being favored and why, I’m not fully convinced we’re prepared for this as humans without some checks and balances.
