Why Facebook Gets Away With Murder

Gambling for the truth pays off

President Biden and his soldiers of truth have been on an extended mission to encourage stubborn naysayers, who make up a considerable section of the country to submit to lifesaving vaccines, that are miraculously on time to save mankind from an irrevocably bleak outcome.

The ambitious goal to usher in the victorious independence from the deadly clutches of a waning global pandemic on July 4th, with the magic number of 70% of the population having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was derailed with the less than desirable results of 67% of adults having at least one jab of the vaccine.

Since then, the Biden administration has been dedicated to the unrelenting task of shaming the gross negligence of anti-vaxxers, while guilt-tripping those who are steadfast in their refusal to get vaccinated, due to the entrapment of circulating conspiracy theories that have tragically replaced common sense.

When recently confronted about the dangers of social media in the age of blatant untruths overruling indisputable facts, the president didn’t hold back his impatience with Facebook’s dangerously cavalier approach to the deadly virus of misinformation that pollutes the interfaces of risky engagement.

Thankfully, I shutdown my Facebook page about five years ago, after seven years of questionable engagement that did more harm than good. The unreality of “friendships” that add up to not very much at all, coupled with those cringey reminders of life events that are best forgotten, propelled the urgent need to drastically downsize for the sake of sanity.

Not long after I walked away from the platform of my discontent, the activation of the Cambridge Analytica scandal was interjected across continents with the damning assistance of Facebook, through the platform’s exploitative methods of lucratively mining data for the purpose of coercing the chaotic political climate of weakened nations.
