I trust Facebook with my money the same way I trust them with my private information

Which is to say I don’t trust Facebook with anything.

The conclusion of this post is join our law suit in Australia either helping to fund the legal fees (with a chance of a return on your donation) or sign up as a no-win no-fee class member in line for cash when we beat Facebook in court!

Facebook went full facist this week banning more overwhelmingly conservative voices. I lost my account back in the Tommy Robinson purge over a month ago. My Brian of London Page was deleted while I was in London last week. I don’t want Facebook controlled or regulated, I want Facebook destroyed. I don’t believe regulation, even along the lines Will Chamberlain eloquently lays out, within the framework of the USA’s 1st Amendment, will work.

I want Facebook destroyed. Raheem Kassam gets it, also at Human Events:

This is a civil rights issue, and I do not say it with a semblance of hyperbole.

What is happening to conservatives or nationalists is as important as what happened to Soviet-era dissidents.

Book ‘burning’ is already a thing.

The gulags do not follow far behind.

Bret Stephens in the New York Times (in a condescending piece as usual making clear to denounce those whose free speech he’s begrudgingly defending) has one bright paragraph:

The deeper problem is the overwhelming concentration of technical, financial and moral power in the hands of people who lack the training, experience, wisdom, trustworthiness, humility and incentives to exercise that power responsibly.

Put simply Facebook and Google are individually and jointly too powerful to be run by those accidentally chosen to be running them. Arguably there isn’t a method of governance known to man which could safely control such power.

There are now a number of very credible reports that Facebook is gearing up to launch its own crypto currency for people to use within Facebook’s walled garden. You’ll be able to “buy” into Facebook’s own currency then send and receive crypto money with friends and, I’m sure, buy goods and services from hungry vendors.

Wall Street Journal report says Facebook is recruiting dozens of financial firms and online merchants to help launch a cryptocurrency-based payments system with each staking up to US$1B. If the company can convince five partners to join them that would make Facebook’s coin one of the five most valuable coins by market capitalisation instantly based on current valuations.

Facebook has a team of about 50 boffins working on the project which is housed in a secured wing at Facebook HQ according to reports.

All the while, Facebook will take a cut of all transactions: 1% 2% or more. We don’t know their fee structure: they’ll be competing with the entire global credit card and payment processing industry and cracking the legs out from under giants like PayPal and their younger competitors. They’ll enter the field with gigantic scale. And I and many other wrong thinking people are ideologically banned from this field of commerce before it even exists.

But what’s really interesting is only one year ago, Facebook declared almost any business considering using the same technology that underlies their crypto-currency (the “blockchain”) is likely to be a scam business and too dangerous to be allowed to advertise on Facebook. Google imposed an identical ban at roughly the same time.

Here’s the effect those advertising bans had on a crypto based social media site and crypto currency called Steem which is a decentralised Facebook replacement and therefore a direct competitor.

Across all the entire blockchain and crypto industries the damages run to hundreds of billion of dollars!

Just so you understand the difference though, I can send and receive Steem to anyone for FREE. No FEES. Facebook will be charging fees somewhere for sure. That’s a feature of crypto currencies but it’s the one Facebook will exploit to make money from you. They’ve already had years selling your private information and your posts, now they want real cash from you.

Advertising ban effect on the price of Steem
Advertising ban effect on the price of Steem: across all the entire blockchain and crypto industries the damages run to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Facebook is too dangerous to exist: it is the culmination of a century of dreams by totalitarian dictator musing on how to better spy on and control their populations. That so many willingly submit their most private thoughts to this monster in return for its “features” is a shame of our civilisation.

“My Brian of London Page was deleted while I was in London last week”. Well, at least someone at FB has a sense of humour! As a platform it is awesome, but it is controlled by the far left and far left big tech social media is waging war against democracy. Democracy has to fight back and thank God the US President is showing every sign of leading that fight. If the far left anti-Democratic Party wins the Presidency in 2020 with a social media shutdown on free speech and and an MSM waging propaganda war for tyranny, it will… Read more »

Brian of London

Yeah I know the irony of being in London for the first time in 3 years just as Brian of London ceases to exist wasn’t lost on me.

We have the foot soldiers, what we need is the financiers because last time I checked, most of the rich Jews were sending money in the wrong direction.
