This morning I read an article by Joshua Rhett Miller – FOXNews.com titled: ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed’ Page Briefly Vanishes Due to Facebook Glitch
What caught my attention was Facebook’s official response: “We want Facebook to be a place where people can openly discuss issues and express their views, while respecting the rights and feelings of others.” the company said in a statement to FoxNews.com.
I call “bulls#@$” on Facebook. This past weekend I tried fervently to reserve a page name that expressed how I felt about Goldman Sachs, and it was apparent that censorship is built into their automated systems. It’s blatantly apparent that automated FaceBook censors are protecting Goldman Sachs. Below are a few screen shots of my failed attempts to reserve various page names.
CENSORED: "Dear Freedom Fighters, We Pray You Receive A Few Extra Virgins If You Stop Goldman Sachs"
CENSORED: "Humanity Against Goldman Sachs Stealing Trillions From Families Around The Globe"
CENSORED: "Humanity Against G*&ldm* Sachs Stealing Trillions From Families Around The Globe"
CENSORED: "Humanity Against G*&ldm* Sachs Stealing Trillions From Families Around The Globe"
FACEBOOK CENSORED: Dear Terrist, We Pray You Receive A Few Extra Virgin's If You Can Stop Gold-man S-a-c-h-s
Unfortunately, I had to try to outsmart their Automated Censorship Platform (That’s the official name I’ve come up with — As a recovering Corporate Executive, I want to give low level plebeian slaves a reason to create another worthless corporate acronym “A.C.P.”). My official FaceBook page name is:
G///O///L////D///MAN SACHS NEEDS TO BURN IN HELL
(PLEASE BECOME A FAN, EVEN IF YOU’RE A FAN OF GOLDMAN SACHS…AT THE VERY LEAST, TO PROTEST FACEBOOK’S AUTOMATED CENSORSHIP POLICY)
I sincerely believe that US Censorship will fail. Companies like Facebook aren’t smart enough to realize that only human intervention is the only fool proof method that can stifle my freedom of expression. Facebook should learn from China’s mastery if censorship with human, real time monitoring.
If Facebook wants to eliminate jobs with their automated “A.C.P.” system as well as violate our Constitutional rights, maybe they should outsource their entire censorship operation to China. At least China does a better job keeping HUMANS employed in the censorship business.
Dear Facebook: As a US Corporation; If you’re truly concerned about “respecting the rights and feelings of others” you shouldn’t mess with the right highest on everyone’s list (especially mine) —- the Constitution — because when you do, we freedom lovers tend to express our feelings a little bit louder.
