It's not surprising or new news that Facebook sells hate and division. It's not even surprising they know this and aren't doing much about it.

The Wall Street Journal has done a series on Facebook called "The Facebook Files" based on internal documents by a former employee. The whistleblower will be appearing on 60 Minutes tonight. You can be sure Zuckerberg will be watching. The documents reveal that "elite" Facebook users are exempt from a lot of the platform's rules,... Continue Reading →

One of the many disturbing details of the white nationalism terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand was that the killer live streamed a video of it on Facebook.
