I got banned from complex entities and interactions the weekend before the elections.
The ban was till Nov 19. No offenses, no reason given. At the time I was like "Nov 19? Do they think its gonna drag out this long?" |

Quoted: I bet none of you folks realized that if you so much as have a Facebook app on your phone or a Facebook browser tab open on your PC, Facebook monitors all your internet activity and very possibly voice activity that your mic can pick up. Back when I had FB, I tested this. Sure enough, advertising for odd consumer things we talked or that I was searching for on another tab that we purposely talked about to test it. Deleted my accounts after that, and that was a few years ago. View Quote The whole listening in with audio is largely a myth. Yes they do get info through audio but not without your consent. More likely is every page that has a Facebook share button acts as a little spy, and phones home that you visited that page so they can serve you an ad for that product. Theres also cookies in your browser that phone home on what you're looking at. They log IP addresses, wifi hotspot usage, and location data you share with them. They also cross reference all of that data with your family and friends to build a bigger picture about you, and what ads are best to show you. Facebook and Google are advertising agencies first and foremost. All the tech and platforms are just a means to an end for the advertising. Yes they also have become societal influencers but literally everything is secondary to advertising. |

Quoted: And banned from posting in groups and meetings till after the 23rd of January. By the way, I have never created a group or meeting on Facebook so it isn’t from abuse. I appealed their ruling, waiting for an explanation if they provide it. I suspect is was because I was at Lobby Day, remember peaceful lobby day? With my Facebook equipped IPhone that Cuckenborg pinged while there. Also, I was NOT in DC on the 6th, not within 250 miles of DC. How many others who were at lobby day have been so banned?

Quoted: I would not get surprised if various social media companies are sharing info. View Quote Twitter admitted they are sharing info with the other big socials. Bongino talked about it on his podcast in the last few days. Even if you don't have an account on any of the modern social media platforms, they attempt to track you: https://www.theregister.com/2018/04/17/facebook_admits_to_tracking_non_users/ When non-Facebook sites add a “Like” button (a social plugin, in Baser's terminology), visitors to those sites are tracked: Facebook gets their IP address, browser and OS fingerprint, and visited site. This is from years ago and frankly given how big tech lies and decieves as a matter of normal practice, I don't believe that was nor is the extent of how they track even non-users. Basically, if the page you visit is in any way connected to the socials ... well, let's put it this way, there's a reason there are blocklists for social ... anything and everything. |

They also create ghost profiles on anyone they can even if you've never signed up or deleted your account. They can still build a ghost profile up with info collected off Facebook, and the things people share about you on their site. For instance if you do not have a Facebook account but people post pictures of you from a party, wedding, event, dinner, or whatever else they scan every photo uploaded including facial recognition. This helps them build a web of info about people who do use their site, and if you do eventually sign up they already have a dataset about you. |

Quoted: As extensive as their datamining is, I'm not surprised they can pinpoint who to lock up in thought jail. Whether or not you go to lobby day could have factored into it, but remember they track everything you look at, how long you look at it, posts you like, posts other people like that like posts that you also liked, who and what they associate with, ect... That data stacks up, and before you know it they can start piecing together profiles on people easy as pie. That's why I deleted mine years ago, and then it was more because I didn't want them selling it off, but now it's actually being used for pretty malicious purposes like this too. View Quote I wasn't at lobby day. I got the same thing as OP. Can't post in groups until the 23rd. |

Quoted: Honestly, I have no idea why FB and Twitter are so important to you people. View Quote Twitter became for a while the best place to get news along with Arf and half the breaking stuff on Arf came from Twitter. There currently is no other viable option. Parler is gone and never came close to twitter yet, Gab is currently a disaster if you can even get it to load it cannot even continue filling the page as you srcoll. Hopefully they'll get it to where they can handle the current overload. I had grown tired of FB long ago and mainly used it to shit post and I'll admit I miss that ! |

Quoted: Wow. This is seriously crazy View Quote I wish people would stop saying "crazy" or "insane". It's neither. It's the beginning of a purge... and only the beginning. If you think of it as something crazy, you think of it as a momentary spike that will subside. It's not. It won't. The America you knew is dead. History shows what happens next, over and over again. Why the fuck any of you are still on FB, Twitter, Netflix, Amazon, or any of the similar EOTR platforms defies all logic. |

Same here except I was given no explanation of why or what I did. Lock from joining or posting until the 23rd. I'll download my stuff from there then blow it up.
One other thought, how many of you were on any of the AR15 related pages on Facebook? Just curious. |

Quoted: Wow. This is seriously crazy View Quote It's advertising. Salesmen say micro-segmentation, military say F3EAD, spies and secret police say, IDK, remote shaping or something. But it's all the same shit. Like the US outpacing the USSR in computer chips, the gap between basic research and military revolution is bridged as a spinoff of a thriving commercial market. |

For about a week, for some reason my eyes were all puffy and dark around them. Like “raccoon eyes”. Maybe I was sick or eating too much crap.
Either way, I never said it to anyone or ever looked anything up...and for no shit I got an ad about something to help with raccoon eyes. I swear it was through my camera. No other explanation. |

Quoted: I am planning on finding a Facebook replacement and encouraging my other friends to abandon that shit show. Just wondering who else has encountered this yet?

For those that were banned, did you like any right leaning groups?
Twitter was locking people just for following accounts that they banned. |

I was banned from marketplace and buy/sell groups a little while back and I went into the help section and there's like a form somewhere for any issue they have with you where you can send a message. I used logic and words to defeat them and they unbanned me.

Seems like a good business opportunity for someone to step into the void...
What really needs to happen is boycotting the advertisers on these sites, and telling them why. Twitter dropped billions after banning Trump. When FB and the like start dropping they'll start paying attention. |

Quoted: Honestly, I have no idea why FB and Twitter are so important to you people. View Quote Personally I could give a crap less about them, haven't even had a Facebook in years and almost never go on Twitter. But I understand the importance of ideas being spread around so if we are shut out of the public view it will not be good in the long run. You will not gain converts if they don't hear the message, nor will you be able to organize resistance and groups and meetings. |
