Facebook bans marketing firm running ‘troll farm’ for pro-Trump youth group

I have any number of (mostly female) friends and acquaintances who all but live in the Facebook ecosphere. I make the fact that I detest FB known to them, as well as why. It falls mainly on deaf ears. Such is life in suburbia.

I’ve never had Facebook despite liking the concept, fortunately I’m aware of how bubbles and misinformation are spread and avoided it like the plague.

It is about time Facebook starts policing itself because the alternatives aren’t good (either things get worse or government steps in and is rebuffed by the Supreme Court in which case things would get even worse).

Turning Point USA-affiliated, pro-Trump teenagers violated Twitter policy with coordinated posts: report

Young conservatives who post pro-Trump messages on social media were compared to “trolls” by the Washington Post on Tuesday after an investigation by the paper revealed a coordinated effort that violates Twitter and Facebook policies – but the group considers it “sincere political activism.”

I used to live out there. Not surprised, that area is like a mix of white suburbia and white rural America.

Although, a couple of years ago, there was an old man that took out a lawn chair, and held a sign, and I wished I'd stopped to shake his hand and talk to him. I don't recall what his sign said exactly but it was basically a nice way of saying "Turmp sucks".

I think the Washington Post has bigger fish to fry than investigating groups for violating a corporation's policies.
