4 of 4 (5 conclusion follows)
Omidyar is also the founder of First Look Media, the parent company of the online news site The Intercept.
Intercept cofounder Glenn Greenwald, who led the NSA reporting for a Pulitzer for the Guardian, shares a seat at the FPF table with his subject, Snowden.
Julian Assange did not hide the apparent falling out with FPF over its subsequent abandonment of WikiLeaks, likening the board to rats on social media.
The Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF), Omidyar Network, and Google.org partnered on a $17 million-dollar Investment Company for startups. Even Facebook co-founder and critic Chris Hughes joined their elite philanthropic ranks, with a $10 million "anti-monopoly fund," backed by Soros and Omidyar.
Having involvement with prior color revolutions throughout the decades in other countries, Soros and Open Society funding is currently linked to organizations that include Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
This is just one but a significant example of a cursory dig into the tangled web of economic pressure and influence over 'alternative' media and even more alarming, popular whistleblower platforms - an illustration of the potential avenues for exploitation, astroturfing and costly honeypots.
These influencers contribute towards the management of information. Even leaked or declassified information is subject to selective release and ad hoc redaction across all platforms, including usurpers within our own three letter agencies.
YEAR OF THE RAT
The year began with harrowing social media scenes of mosh-pit waiting rooms and citizens lining the roads outside of Chinese hospitals. We saw ghost towns, trucks full of body bags, incinerators working overtime and people barricaded into their homes as agents wearing white HAZMAT coveralls forced others into unmarked vans.
Managing to escape the heavily censored Chinese bandwidth, recordings of distressed citizens flooded Twitter. Facing an impending pandemic of disease and starvation, they risked everything to send out these messages - to warn the world of what was coming.
Avid researchers feverishly refreshed Johns Hopkins' Resident Evil-styled dashboard1 as it ticked up the recovered and dead at a remarkable rate of 50% according to China's initial reporting.
It looked bad. Doomsday bad.
The next day after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern2 and reiterated Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's warning against limiting travel and trade913, the State Department began the process of imposing the highest global level travel advisories on coronavirus hotspots.3
The Trump administration's task force artfully navigated the move as 'complementary' to WHO's announcement. It wasn't complementary. It was in direct defiance.
Some of the more inquisitive reporters challenged the WHO on China's response and absence of adequate personal protective equipment (PPE). The WHO had some interesting answers.
Director of the Pandemic and Epidemic Diseases Department Sylvie Briand said that trained health professionals would get too cocky if they had PPE - that they would forget to wash their hands.13
The Executive Director of WHO's Health Emergencies Michael Ryan topped that with a metaphor - giving frontline healthcare workers the PPE they need would be akin to burdening a novice with scuba equipment and telling them to go jump into the ocean.13
It was clear the WHO were shamelessly running PR for China.
The White House established the Coronavirus Task Force and held lengthy daily press briefings in collaboration with the NIH and CDC, culminating in the 15 Day Plan to Slow the Spread, then 30 Days to Slow the Spread, then a phased plan to open up, followed by the infamous 'second wave.'
The nation entered summer with 'illegal' haircuts, banned worship, mandatory masks, sand-filled skate parks, Interstate checkpoints, and shutdown shorelines and beaches.
The Navy hospital ships, Mercy and Comfort embarked battle. Makeshift field hospitals were constructed in parks and convention centers. The National Guard was deployed. Distilleries repurposed their outfits to produce hand sanitizer. Ford turned out face shields, respirators and facemasks. It was mass mobilization against an invisible enemy - a whole-of-nation effort.

>Franklin Foer
fuckin joos with their fuckin atonement…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Foer
Franklin Foer (/?f??r/; born July 20, 1974) is a staff writer at The Atlantic and former editor of The New Republic, commentating on contemporary issues from a liberal perspective.[1][2]
Personal life
Foer was born in 1974[3] to a Jewish family.[4][5] He is the son of Albert Foer, a lawyer, and Esther Safran Foer. He is the elder brother of novelist Jonathan Safran Foer as well as freelance journalist Joshua Foer.[6] He graduated from Columbia University[7] in 1996 and lives in Washington, D.C.
Career
Foer has written for Slate[8] and New York magazine.[9] He served as editor of American magazine The New Republic from 2006 until 2010, when he resigned - by his subsequent account, because of exhaustion over an interminable search for a patron who could save the magazine.[10] He then became editor again in 2012, recruited by new patron Chris Hughes.[10][11] His book How Soccer Explains the World was published in 2004.[12] The book Jewish Jocks, which he co-edited with New Republic writer Marc Tracy, was published in 2012. It won a National Jewish Book Award in 2012. Foer has described it as an effort to avoid the "simple hagiography" he found in some of the many existing books about Jewish sports figures.[13][14][15]
Foer was editor of The New Republic during the Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy.[16] His firing in December 2014 by New Republic owner Chris Hughes and his replacement by former Gawker editor Gabriel Snyder provoked an editorial crisis that culminated in the resignation from the magazine of two-thirds of the people on its masthead.[17]
In 2017 Foer published World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, which was named a New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017.[18][19] Using Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Apple as case studies, World Without Mind argues for a closer examination for the role of technology in our lives, particularly the ways it is shaping the values of individuals globally.

Internal Facebook memo accidentally sent to journalist reveals the platform 'expects more scraping incidents' following breach that saw data from 533 MILLION users leaked
Belgian publication Data News was accidentally sent the memo on April 8 2021
It was intended for Facebook's PR staff in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
The memo reveals the firm's intent to 'normalise' data scraping leaks in future
Facebook is expecting more scraping incidents like a security breach that saw data from some 533 million users exposed, a leaked internal memo has revealed.
The email was intended for Facebook's PR staff in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but was accidentally sent to journalists at the Belgian publication Data News on April 8.
Rather than exclusively focusing on the security problem, the social media firm is planning to spin future leaks as a 'sector problem' as to 'normalise' the issue.
The leak, involving data on users from across 106 countries, occurred back in 2019, but the trove of personal information was only freely published this year.
Before being posted on a hacker forum, however, the database was sold and resold privately by various cybercriminals who likely took advantage of the information.
Among users whose data was publicly leaked was Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and platform co-founders Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz.

Mark Zuckerberg's phone number included in huge Facebook user leak
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was reportedly among those affected in a mass data leak that revealed users' phone numbers.
It was reported on Saturday that a huge stolen database of 533 million Facebook users had been leaked for free online, with the data having previously circulated on criminal marketplaces.
The leak affects users from around the world and includes names, phone numbers, dates of birth, email addresses, and marital statuses - and in an ironic twist, it appears that Zuckerberg is among those affected.
Cybersecurity researcher Dave Walker pointed out on Saturday evening that Zuckerberg's personal phone number was now public due to the leak and joked, "If journalists are struggling to get a statement from @facebook, maybe just give him a call, from the tel in the leak?"
According to the Daily Mail, Zuckerberg's fellow Facebook co-founders Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz also had their personal information leaked.
Facebook has attempted to downplay the incident, noting that the data came from an old security breach - though it's the first time that the information from the leak has been made free to the public after it was posted on a hacking forum this week.

Q Research General #15609: Wwg1wga Edition
Stacey Abrams, Andrew Gillum draw cash from same bank of national donors
The biggest donors to both Gillum and Abrams have been Soros and his family. Soros donated $1.2 million to Gillum's Forward Florida PAC and $21,000 to Abrams' campaign, the maximum allowable. Soros has also donated $1 million to the Georgia Democratic Party, which is heavily backing Abrams. His daughter, Andrea , and sons, Alex and Jonathan, have also given to both candidates.
"In both cases, Mr. Soros has a long-standing relationship with the candidate," said Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Soros. "They all share the same set of values. It was a natural that he would support them in their campaigns for higher office."
Steyer, meanwhile, has given nearly $13,000 to Abrams and $6,000 to Gillum. His affiliated political non-profit, NextGen Climate America, has written much bigger checks, donating $2.8 million overall to Gillum's Forward Florida.
"Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum represent the future of the Democratic Party," said Aleigha Cavalier, a spokeswoman for Steyer. "They tell the truth about issues facing Americans today and are bringing people into our political system who have either felt shut out or have not been given a reason to participate - and other Democrats would be well served to follow in their footsteps."
Steyer and Soros have been joined by a host of other major donors in backing both candidates, including:
? Oakland real estate developer Wayne Jordan, who has given $21,000 to Abrams and $50,000 to Gillum.
? Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, who gave $21,000 to Abrams and $6,000 to Gillum's committees.
? Silicon Valley couple Liz Simons, daughter of Robert Mercer's former hedge fund partner James Simons, and husband Mark Heising, who gave more than $365,000 to the Gillum-connected groups and $23,000 combined to Abrams' campaign.
? Comedian and entertainment executive Byron Allen, who gave $6,600 to Abrams and $25,000 to Gillum.
? Children's book author Judy Blume, who has given $2,000 to Abrams and $3,000 to Gillum
Former U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Florida Democrat traced the origins of this network to the individual donors who backed former President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Meek said he was able to turn to these donors for support during his ultimately unsuccessful 2010 bid for U.S. Senate.
"I kind of caught the second generation of that," he said. "Now we're in the 5.0 generation of that."
The coast-to-coast support for Abrams and Gillum represents a break from the past, says James Rucker, who co-founded the group Color of Change, which advocates to improve the lives of black Americans and has a related political committee.
"Your typical donor base on the Democratic side hasn't really embraced qualified black candidates, especially in the South," said Rucker, who has himself given $1,000 to Abrams and $2,000 to Gillum.
And Rucker says that support has been all the more striking because Abrams and Gillum haven't shied away from confronting issues of racism during the campaign.
"You've got candidates who are embracing the conversation around race and around serious progressive issues," he said.
Kathy Mangum, a Pasadena-based executive at the Walt Disney Co., says she was inspired to support Abrams because of what she perceived as Trump's racially sulfurous rhetoric, particularly his statements blaming "both sides" for violence during a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"There's nothing more powerful than the symbolism of a black woman running in the deep South," Mangum said. "I like her politics, too."
She's given $500 to Abrams campaign and a total of $6,000 to support Gillum. She said she met Gillum at a fundraising dinner in California, long before he won the party's nomination.
"I was over the moon when he pulled that off," she said of his surprise victory in the primary.
If Gillum or Abrams is able to continue their success next week on Election Day, Rucker said it could make the path easier for African American candidates in the future.
"If we have even one of them win, I think it will change the conventional wisdom," he said. "It becomes a template for what could happen elsewhere."

Astroturfing
A significant portion of the population has self-ejected from mainstream narratives, finding cover in yet another layer of information matrices with independent and alternative media.
These spaces, too, are infiltrated.
Grassroots creative and alternative info markets have been subject to the same controls, reduced to despotism through spec work and globalized markets, software monopolies, astroturfing, honeypots, selective boosting and suppression.
As an example, consider the context and complexity of the connected entities surrounding WikiLeaks.
Two of the architects of SecureDrop, the whistleblower software deployed after WikiLeaks' Tor submission system went offline, namely Reddit founder Aaron Swartz and James Dolan, both died of apparent suicide. The third SecureDrop founder can still be found lightly covering aspects of these connected platforms and their misadventures as editor for Wired Magazine.
Snowden, who was first forged in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) prior to his rendezvous with the National Security Agency (NSA), now sits at the end of the table of the board of directors of Freedom Press Foundation (FPF), which once funded WikiLeaks.
Hollywood directed our attention to the far-reaching capabilities and abuses of government surveillance. Although eye-opening, Snowden's narrowed focus tends to leave unrestrained and poorly regulated corporate data collection and big tech with a comparatively free pass.
In 2013, Freedom Press Foundation, affiliated with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which aimed to remove the final barrier - ISP gatekeepers' ability to stall the advance of media monopolies, calling it "Net Neutrality" - took over the development of SecureDrop.
EFF hosts hackathons for the software and has received multiple six-figure contributions from George Soros and his Open Society Foundations.
Billionaire Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, also held significant shares with PayPal, the company that withdrew the funding mechanism for the WikiLeaks platform. FPF then organized to raise funding for WikiLeaks, before they too eventually abandoned support.
Omidyar is also the founder of First Look Media, the parent company of the online news site The Intercept.
Intercept cofounder Glenn Greenwald, who led the NSA reporting for a Pulitzer for the Guardian, shares a seat at the FPF table with his subject, Snowden.
Julian Assange did not hide the apparent falling out with FPF over its subsequent abandonment of WikiLeaks, likening the board to rats on social media.
The Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF), Omidyar Network, and Google.org partnered on a $17 million-dollar Investment Company for startups. Even Facebook co-founder and critic Chris Hughes joined their elite philanthropic ranks, with a $10 million "anti-monopoly fund," backed by Soros and Omidyar.
Having involvement with prior color revolutions throughout the decades in other countries, Soros and Open Society funding is currently linked to organizations that include Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
This is just one but a significant example of a cursory dig into the tangled web of economic pressure and influence over 'alternative' media and even more alarming, popular whistleblower platforms - an illustration of the potential avenues for exploitation, astroturfing and costly honeypots.
These influencers contribute towards the management of information. Even leaked or declassified information is subject to selective release and ad hoc redaction across all platforms, including usurpers within our own three letter agencies.

Laurene Jobs is buying The Atlantic magazine
Steve Jobs' widow and the Emerson Collective will purchase a majority share in the magazine, according to Atlantic Media owner David Bradley.
Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, will soon co-own The Atlantic magazine.
Chairman and current owner of Atlantic Media David G. Bradley said Friday that he'll be selling the majority of the magazine to Emerson Collective, the social justice organization led by Jobs.
Bradley, who will keep a small portion of the company, told The Atlantic that Jobs stood out on his list of over 600 potential investors and was the only person to whom the company made an offer. The price of the sale is unknown at this time.
The shift to digital media has taken a toll on the magazine, according to The Washington Post, and over the past decade the company has lost more than $100 million. But Bradley says, "against the odds, The Atlantic is still prospering."
"While I will stay at the helm some years, the most consequential decision of my career now is behind me: Who next will take stewardship of this 160-year-old national treasure? To me, the answer, in the form of Laurene, feels incomparably right," Bradley told The Atlantic.
Jobs' foray into the journalism industry follows a recent trend among tech leaders. In 2012, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes bought a portion of the New Republic, and Amazon CEO and co-founder Jeff Bezos purchased The Washington Post back in 2013.

Barr And State AGs Discuss Big Tech Monopolies As 'Flipped' Facebook Co-Founder Helps Devise Antitrust Action
A bipartisan group of eight state attorneys general met with US Attorney General William Barr on Thursday to discuss "the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition," according to Politico.
"Our bipartisan coalition of eight state attorneys general was pleased with the opportunity to meet with U.S. Attorney General Barr to talk about the real concerns consumers across the country have with big tech companies stifling competition on the internet," reads a joint statement from the state AGs, which include Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined comment. Some of the states that had planned to attend the meeting, including Nebraska and Arizona, have opened inquiries into Google's practices. Representatives from the Nebraska and Arizona offices did not immediately return requests for comment.
The potential state action adds yet another layer to the growing scrutiny of the power of online platforms. In announcing its antitrust review this week, the DOJ said it will consider "widespread concerns" expressed about search, social media and online retail services. -Politico

The Left-wing financier George Soros, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and heiress Abigail Disney are among signatories.
The move has been met with shock and condemnation. Conservatives said the billionaires could simply write a big check to the taxman without the need for any new legislation.
'A wealth tax could help address the climate crisis, improve the economy, improve health outcomes, fairly create opportunity, and strengthen our democratic freedoms.
'Instituting a wealth tax is in the interest of our republic.'

WASHINGTON - A liberal activist group is ramping up pressure on Democratic congressional leaders with a new campaign to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.
?Stand Up America, which says it has amassed 2.4 million members since former congressional candidate Sean Eldridge founded it after Trump's election, will begin pushing those members to call, confront and otherwise lobby Democratic members of the House to start the impeachment process.
The campaign kicks off on Tuesday, when the group will begin running digital ads to broadcast its message while also emailing and text messaging its members with information on how to contact their representatives.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other party leaders have urged patience on impeachment, and ?Stand Up America, which focuses on defending the investigations into Trump and his allies, had until now echoed her call.
"When some progressives demanded impeachment after Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey, I thought we should let special counsel (Robert) Mueller do his job first," said Eldridge, the husband of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes.
"When Mueller's redacted report was released detailing Trump's criminal conduct, I believed Democrats in Congress should hold Watergate-style hearings to air the evidence, subpoena key witnesses and obtain Mueller's full report before considering impeachment," he continued. "I'm now convinced that it's time to stop waiting."

Facebook breakup could boost China rivals: Sandberg
Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg said Friday a breakup of big US technology would not address "underlying issues" facing the sector and suggested that such a move could help rivals in China.
Sandberg, interviewed on CNBC television, was asked about the latest calls to break up Facebook and other major Silicon Valley firms which dominate key sectors.
"You could break us up, you could break other tech companies up, but you actually don't address the underlying issues people are concerned about," Sandberg said in the interview.
Sandberg said the social network used by more than two billion people was working to address concerns about election security, online violence promotion and data protection, but that a breakup might only serve to help competitors from China.
"While people are concerned with the size and power of tech companies, there's also a concern in the United States with the size and power of Chinese companies, and the realization that those companies are not going to be broken up," she said.
The comments come a week after one of Facebook's co-founders, Chris Hughes, said in an essay "it's time to break up Facebook," warning that it has gained too much power over what people see online.

Facebook Co-Founder Doubles Down: Says Zuckerberg Has "Near-Unilateral Power"
The co-founder of Facebook has stepped up his attack on Mark Zuckerberg just days after calling on the United States government to break up Facebook, according to Bloomberg. Chris Hughes, 35, who started Facebook with Zuckerberg said in an interview to CNN: "Zuckerberg has too much power – near-unilateral power. We all make mistakes, but I think that in his case it is different because there is no accountability for those mistakes."
Hughes - perhaps in a bid to stay relevant, perhaps with altruistic intentions - has wound up in the center of a debate about how the government should regulate the social media company after writing a May 9 op-ed in the New York Times calling Facebook a monopoly that "never should have been allowed to buy a Instagram and WhatsApp".

Co-founder's call to break up Facebook energizes its critics
A call to break up Facebook from one of the company's co-founders is bringing new momentum to the movement targeting Silicon Valley's giants.
Chris Hughes published an op-ed in The New York Times on Thursday arguing that the company that he helped build as a college student at Harvard had grown too large and unaccountable.
The article was a stunning rebuke to Facebook from a former insider and made waves in the political world and across social media.
"I think that blew open the conversation in an incredibly meaningful way," said Sarah Miller, the deputy director of the Open Markets Institute, which has helped push antitrust questions about tech companies to the forefront over the past year and a half.
It's getting harder and harder to defend Facebook maintaining its monopoly power."
In the op-ed, Hughes said that he was worried about the amount of power Facebook had amassed over the world's communications and how his former roommate and co-founder, Mark Zuckerberg, had complete control over the company.
"We are a nation with a tradition of reining in monopolies, no matter how well intentioned the leaders of these companies may be. Mark's power is unprecedented and un-American," Hughes wrote.

In a recent op-ed for the New York Times, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes calls for the government to regulate speech on the Internet as part of the breakup of social media giant Facebook. Hughes states that despite not working at Facebook for more than 15 years, he feels a sense of "anger and responsibility" following Facebook's recent privacy scandals. The answer to this, according to Hughes, is the creation of an independent government body to regulate online speech and content.

Explainer: What would it take for U.S. regulators to break up Facebook?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook Inc co-founder and Mark Zuckerberg's former college roommate Chris Hughes urged U.S. regulators to break up the social media company in a New York Times opinion piece on Thursday. But antitrust law makes such a proposal tough to execute because the government would have to take the company to court and win. It is rare to break up a company but not unheard of, with Standard Oil and AT&T being the two biggest examples. Hughes' call to split Facebook from WhatsApp and Instagram followed a March pledge by U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination for the 2020 election, to break up big tech companies.
Facebook rejected Hughes' call for a breakup. "Accountability of tech companies can only be achieved through the painstaking introduction of new rules for the internet. That is exactly what Mark Zuckerberg has called for," Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president of global affairs and communications, said in an emailed statement. What is Hughes' argument? Hughes called for the Federal Trade Commission, working with the Justice Department, to force Facebook to undo its purchases of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. He said the three could become separate publicly traded companies. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives would be required to divest management shares. Hughes' criticisms of Facebook focused on its massive power over speech, and the fact that it was a tool that Russia used to manipulate U.S. voters in 2016 with false news reports. He also expressed concern that Zuckerberg had outsized power in such a dominant firm, saying: "Mark is a good, kind person. But I'm angry that his focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks."
How could a breakup happen? To force a company to break up, the government would have to file a lawsuit demonstrating that the firm has market power in the industry and that the deal has hurt consumers by pushing up prices or reducing product quality. This could be particularly hard in the case of Facebook or other technology companies, especially those that provide a free service to users. "The case law as it stands today would make the structural breakup of any of these companies very challenging," an antitrust expert based in Washington said. It is rare for the government to seek to break up an existing company, but it has been done.
Famously, the United States sued to break up Standard Oil, accusing it of being an abusive monopoly. The case was fought all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1911 that the company should be broken up. In 1974, the U.S. government filed an antitrust lawsuit against AT&T Corp because it had a monopoly on telephone lines. After eight years of litigation, the two sides reached a settlement that led to AT&T giving up control of its regional operating companies, or Baby Bells. Perhaps the most famous case is the government's effort to break up Microsoft. The Justice Department won a preliminary victory in 2000 but was reversed on appeal. The case settled with Microsoft intact. There are recent examples with smaller companies. The Justice Department forced consumer review website Bazaarvoice Inc to undo a 2012 merger with rival PowerReviews in 2014. The FTC this week won a victory in trying to break up a merger of two prosthetic knee makers: Otto Bock HealthCare North America, Inc and Freedom Innovations. An administrative law judge ruled in its favor on May 6.
What about privacy issues? U.S. lawmakers are also considering privacy legislation that would weaken companies like Facebook by reducing the amount of personal user data they control, thus reducing their value to advertisers. Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, said in April that the was considering legislation that would focus on data portability, so users of one social media could take their information from one site to another.
How powerful is Facebook?
Congress held a series of hearings last year looking at the dominance of major tech companies, including their considerable political heft. Facebook has huge global reach, with 1.56 billion users daily as of March. It had 37,700 full-time employees as of the end of March spread around offices in 20 U.S. cities and dozens more around the world. Tech companies are among the biggest U.S. political donors. Google spent $21 million to lobby in 2018 while Amazon spent $14.2 million and Facebook spent $12.62 million, according to their filings to U.S. Congress.

Facebook rejects co-founder call for breakup, senator urges U.S. antitrust probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook Inc quickly rejected a call from co-founder Chris Hughes on Thursday to split the world's largest social media company in three, while lawmakers urged the U.S. Justice Department to launch an antitrust investigation. Facebook has been under scrutiny from regulators around the world over data sharing practices as well as hate speech and misinformation on its networks. Some U.S. lawmakers have also pushed for action to break up big tech companies as well as federal privacy regulation. "We are a nation with a tradition of reining in monopolies, no matter how well intentioned the leaders of these companies may be. Mark's power is unprecedented and un-American," Hughes, a former college roommate of Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, wrote in a lengthy New York Times opinion piece.
Facebook's social network has more than 2 billion users across the world. It also owns WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram, each used by more than 1 billion people. Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. Facebook rejected Hughes' call for WhatsApp and Instagram to be made into separate companies, and said the focus should instead be on regulating the internet. Zuckerberg will be in Paris on Friday to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss internet regulation.
"Facebook accepts that with success comes accountability. But you don't enforce accountability by calling for the break up of a successful American company," Facebook spokesman Nick Clegg said in a statement. "Accountability of tech companies can only be achieved through the painstaking introduction of new rules for the internet. That is exactly what Mark Zuckerberg has called for." U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, told CNBC on Thursday he thinks Facebook needs to be broken up and that the Justice Department's antitrust division needs to begin an investigation. Antitrust law makes such a proposal tough to execute because the government would have to take the company to court and win. It is rare to break up a company but not unheard of, with Standard Oil and AT&T being the two biggest examples.
Hughes co-founded Facebook in 2004 at Harvard with Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. He left Facebook in 2007, and has said in a LinkedIn post that he made half a billion dollars for his three years of work. "It's been 15 years since I co-founded Facebook at Harvard, and I haven't worked at the company in a decade. But I feel a sense of anger and responsibility," Hughes said in the New York Times piece. Hughes also suggested Zuckerberg should be held responsible for privacy and other lapses at the company. "The government must hold Mark accountable. For too long, lawmakers have marveled at Facebook's explosive growth and overlooked their responsibility to ensure that Americans are protected and markets are competitive," he said.

Facebook Co-Founder Calls for Government to Break Up Mark Zuckerberg's Empire
Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes has called for the empire he helped Mark Zuckerberg to assemble to be broken up by the government. Taking it a step further, Hughes argues that the government should regulate big tech and control "acceptable speech" on social media. In an op-ed published in the New York Times titled "It's Time to Break Up Facebook," Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes called for further government regulation of the very social media platform that he helped to launch. Hughes states that despite not working at Facebook for more than 15 years, he feels a sense of "anger and responsibility" following Facebook's recent privacy scandals. Hughes states that although he believes that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a good person, he has become increasingly worried over decisions made by Facebook and Zuckerberg in recent years. Hughes writes: Mark's influence is staggering, far beyond that of anyone else in the private sector or in government. He controls three core communications platforms - Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp - that billions of people use every day. Facebook's board works more like an advisory committee than an overseer, because Mark controls around 60 percent of voting shares. Mark alone can decide how to configure Facebook's algorithms to determine what people see in their News Feeds, what privacy settings they can use and even which messages get delivered. He sets the rules for how to distinguish violent and incendiary speech from the merely offensive, and he can choose to shut down a competitor by acquiring, blocking or copying it. Mark is a good, kind person. But I'm angry that his focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks. I'm disappointed in myself and the early Facebook team for not thinking more about how the News Feed algorithm could change our culture, influence elections and empower nationalist leaders. And I'm worried that Mark has surrounded himself with a team that reinforces his beliefs instead of challenging them.
Hughes then states that government intervention is the key to protecting user privacy across Facebook, stating: The government must hold Mark accountable. For too long, lawmakers have marveled at Facebook's explosive growth and overlooked their responsibility to ensure that Americans are protected and markets are competitive. Any day now, the Federal Trade Commission is expected to impose a $5 billion fine on the company, but that is not enough; nor is Facebook's offer to appoint some kind of privacy czar. After Mark's congressional testimony last year, there should have been calls for him to truly reckon with his mistakes. Instead the legislators who questioned him were derided as too old and out of touch to understand how tech works. That's the impression Mark wanted Americans to have, because it means little will change. We are a nation with a tradition of reining in monopolies, no matter how well intentioned the leaders of these companies may be. Mark's power is unprecedented and un-American. It is time to break up Facebook.
Hughes doesn't just want to break up the company, however, he wants the creation of an entirely new agency designed to regulate tech firms. Hughes argues this agency should also regulate free speech: Just breaking up Facebook is not enough. We need a new agency, empowered by Congress to regulate tech companies. Its first mandate should be to protect privacy. The Europeans have made headway on privacy with the General Data Protection Regulation, a law that guarantees users a minimal level of protection. A landmark privacy bill in the United States should specify exactly what control Americans have over their digital information, require clearer disclosure to users and provide enough flexibility to the agency to exercise effective oversight over time. The agency should also be charged with guaranteeing basic interoperability across platforms. Finally, the agency should create guidelines for acceptable speech on social media. This idea may seem un-American - we would never stand for a government agency censoring speech. But we already have limits on yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, child pornography, speech intended to provoke violence and false statements to manipulate stock prices. We will have to create similar standards that tech companies can use. These standards should of course be subject to the review of the courts, just as any other limits on speech are. But there is no constitutional right to harass others or live-stream violence.

Facebook at 15: Mark Zuckerberg in 2008 on Facebook's political power, ad targeting
"So Facebook is changing the way we communicate with our friends and with our grandparents. It's also changing politics. Every major candidate has a page. Zuckerberg says there seem to be more Republicans on the site than Democrats. And among them, Barack Obama with his young persons following, is hugely popular. Hillary Clinton is hugely unpopular.
Lesley Stahl: You know, it used to be, first, you went on "Face the Nation" if you were a candidate; then well, no, you went on "Letterman." Now it seems the candidates have to be on Facebook. Are you changing the way candidates are running for president?
Mark Zuckerberg: Well, I think because politicians can communicate with tens of thousands of people at the same time, it's pretty effective for them in campaigning"

WHOA - MARK ZUCKERBERG CALLS OBAMA DIGITAL TEAM HEAD A LIAR

The Facebooker Who Friended Obama
By BRIAN STELTER <←–
JULY 7, 2008
Last November, Mark Penn, then the chief strategist for Hillary Rodham Clinton, derisively said Barack Obama's supporters "look like Facebook."
Chris Hughes takes that as a compliment.
Mr. Hughes, 24, was one of four founders of Facebook. In early 2007, he left the company to work in Chicago on Senator Obama's new-media campaign. Leaving behind his company at such a critical time would appear to require some cognitive dissonance: political campaigns, after all, are built on handshakes and persuasion, not computer servers, and Mr. Hughes has watched, sometimes ruefully, as Facebook has marketed new products that he helped develop.

Q Research General #7129: Ohr Transcript Analysis Edition
I apologize to BO for posting this in the meta thread initially. I have only just now discovered that I was in the very wrong place. I will repost here as the original should rightfully be deleted for being out of context. Forgive me while I learn the ways of 8chan. Also, thank you Anon who walked my hand in this direction. I'm learning~
Anons,
First time posting, thought I found some interesting things with people at Facebook.
First image: This goes over the now-known divisions in Facebook, including the newly discovered Building 8 / Portal. It was headed by Regina Dugan (we know her connection already but here she is). She was DARPA's first female director. She went on to work for Google and started their own skunkworks laboratory, which birthed the ATAP work group where Project Ara was housed (Project Ara were those modular phones that nobody cared about a few years back). Project Ara was run by a man named Rafa Camargo, who went on to be a VP for Building 8. Rafa worked for Regina.
The second image shows a loose link between BBN Technologies and Facebook. BBN was heavily funded by the CIA in it's early days and worked closely with DARPA to produce ARPANET (basically the proto-internet). Of note, here, are Anita Jones who was on BBN's board of directors, and also oversaw DARPA to some official capacity. Another person on BBN's board of directors was Jim Breyer, who donated $12.7 million of his own cash to Facebook in it's very early days to get it off the ground and running. As a side note, Sean Parker (Facebook's founding President) was a CIA recruit for his software engineering genius.
The next image is a side note for a man named Taner, who had built Facebook's initial infrastructure. He went on to fund OfferSavvy who's CTO was Kevin Raison, also a former DARPA employee.
And my last note is of a few notable original Facebook employees. Matt Cohler went on to be a founding member of LinkedIn. Steve Chen went to co-founder YouTube shortly after Facebook got off the ground. And Chris Hughes (Facebook's first spokesman) went on to work for Barrack Obama as his Social Networking Coordinator.
I hope this is interesting for some of you, this is very incomplete and doesn't contain solid evidence, this is just based off what I could freely find on Open Source without too much digging

Q Research General #7097: United We Stand. July 4, 2019. Edition
Here is the first 20 employees at facebook
Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook's first CTO, was Mark Zuckerberg's roommate. The two dropped out of Harvard together to move to California and work on Facebook.
Chris Hughes cofounded Facebook and served as the site's first spokesman. He later coordinated all social networking aspects of Obama's 2008 campaign.
Eduardo Saverin was a Facebook co-founder and its first CFO. He famously sued Mark Zuckerberg and the two reached a settlement.
Andrew McCollum designed Facebook's first logo and worked on a side project with Zuckerberg called Wirehog.
Taner Halicioglu was Facebook's first "real" employee outside of the founders. He built out the entire initial hardware infrastructure.
Sean Parker was an early employee at Napster and was founding president of Facebook.
Naomi Gleit was tasked early on with making sure "literally everyone in the world was on the site." Aside from Mark Zuckerberg, she's the longest serving employee still at the company.
Kevin Colleran lived with Zuckerberg in Facebook's 2004 summer sublet house in Palo Alto. Now he's a VC.
Gilles Mischler built and designed Facebook's IT infrastructure from the ground up.
You can thank engineer Scott Marlette for being able to visually stalk all of your friends. He created Facebook's first photo application.
Aaron Sittig was brought on early by Sean Parker from Napster. He created the concept of tagging friends in Facebook pictures and the "like" button
Nick Heyman was in charge of handling Facebook's explosive traffic, although he wasn't there for very long.

Q Research General #1637: We HONOR our Operators
Their plan rolls on!

Facebook Co-Founder Wants To Slap $3 Trillion Tax On Rich To Pay For Universal Basic Income
acebook co-founder Chris Hughes wants to tax anyone who makes over $250,000 to the tune of nearly $3 trillion over ten years, then use the proceeds to provide universal basic income (UBI) to every working American who makes under $50,000 a year, including those providing services such as child care and elder care.
Hughes, 34, now devotes his time to evangelizing for higher taxes on the rich, such as himself. He's proposing that the government give a guaranteed income of $500 a month to every working American earning less than $50,000 a year, at a total cost of $290 billion a year. This is a staggering number, but Hughes points out that it equals half the U.S. defense budget and would combat the inequality that he argues is destabilizing the nation. -Bloomberg
Hughes, who has a related book coming out, has made tackling income inequality his top priority by partnering with the Economic Security Project - a major recipient of his philanthropic efforts. The group is focused finding solutions to provide "unconditional cash and basic income" in the United States due to the effects of "automation, globalization, and financialization" forcing the discussion.
The plan would essentially be an expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for low-to-moderate income individuals and families.
The Economic Security Project is a network committed to advancing the debate on unconditional cash and basic income in the United States. In a time of immense wealth, no one should live in poverty, nor should the middle class be consigned to a future of permanent stagnation or anxiety. Automation, globalization, and financialization are changing the nature of work, and these shifts require us to rethink how to create economic opportunity for all. -Economic Security Project
While Hughes notes that the annual $290 billion annual price tag is half the U.S. defense budget, he contends that income inequality is destabilizing the nation - and that there is a "very practical concern that, given that consumer spending is the biggest driver of economic growth in the United States and that median household incomes haven't meaningfully budged in 40 years," a Universal Basic Income is vital to maintaining economic national security.
"Cash is just the simplest and most efficient thing to eradicate poverty and stabilize the middle class," Hughs told Bloomberg at the Economic Security Project's New York offices at Union Square.
There are many ways to pay for a guaranteed income. However, I do think that the resources can and should come from the people who most benefited from the structure of the economy. We had tax rates at 50 percent for several decades after [World War II]. In the same period, we had record economic growth and broad-based prosperity. I'm not making the case, in the book and in general, that we just need higher taxes. It matters what our tax dollars are going to. Cash is just the simplest and most efficient thing to eradicate poverty and stabilize the middle class. -Bloomberg

Rich liberal donors throw weight behind Obama agenda
A network of wealthy liberal political donors is steering funds to Organizing for Action and other groups to push Obama's agenda in Congress. Immigration reform is a high priority.
May 04, 2013|By Matea Gold, Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - An influential network of some of the country's wealthiest liberal political donors is steering resources to an advocacy group backing President Obama's agenda and to organizations working to pass immigration reform, providing a surge of money that could boost the president's legislative goals.
Democracy Alliance, an invitation-only group that makes funding recommendations to its members, selected the pro-Obama Organizing for Action and immigration reform groups such as the National Immigration Forum as some of its top 2013 priorities at its spring conference in Laguna Beach last week, according to leaders of the organization.
The group has a low profile but carries significant sway on the left, with deep-pocketed members that include billionaire investor George Soros and Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes.

Preventing child exploitation online is of course the job of law enforcement around the world, but it is also what companies like the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), working alongside the National Crime Agency, are trying to help put a stop to.
IWF is based in Cambridge, and Chris Hughes oversees a team of analysts there who see harrowing images every day.
"The scale of the problem, you have to see it to believe it. There are so many children that are being abused on a daily basis. There's no getting away from it," he said.
"Some of the images are considerably challenging, particularly those images that involve very young, if not month-old, babies can be particularly distressing for the team… but once we've got clearance we can have content removed as quickly as within five minutes."
Last year, they removed more than 150,000 web pages and millions of images, yet the organisation is funded by the very tech firms that often host the abuse.
IWF's chief executive Susie Hargreaves told me it's not just the tech firms we are familiar with - the household names - that we should point the finger at.
"They are the ones trying to be responsible and bring in measures to crack down on the problem," Ms Hargreaves said.
"It is the companies that we've never heard of that often harbour the abuse, so for that reason there needs to be collective effort and blanket regulation.
"The tech companies can do more, and we can do more. All of us can do more. I think, none of us are going to sit here and be complacent until we've removed all the child sexual abuse there is online.
"But this is also a problem you can't solve without the tech companies. We need to throw everything we can at this problem. You just see children just robbed of their childhood."
Google and Facebook declined to give ITV News an interview regarding our findings in the Philippines, but in a broader context Google did say: "We've been committed to fighting online child sexual exploitation and abuse both on our platforms and in the broader online ecosystem since our earliest days.
"We've invested heavily in the teams, technology, and resources to deter, remove, and report this kind of content, and to help other companies do so - and we publish the results of our efforts in our transparency report.
"This issue cannot be solved by any one company, that's why we're committed to tackling it with industry and partners like the Internet Watch Foundation who are dedicated to protecting children."
Many parts of the Philippines are still in tight lockdown and the rates of vaccination are slow, leaving many children still much at risk.
The hope is that the Online Safety Bill will, in the future, place a duty of care on online platforms to detect and report illegal content created or shared by users, including child sexual abuse materials.
This will be a significant step in protecting vulnerable children, as it will provide crucial information to law enforcement in the UK and internationally, helping them quickly identify and safeguard victims, investigate offenders, and reduce the likelihood of abuse occurring through preventative measures.
What's more, organisations who deal with this problem first-hand want the Bill to incentivise platforms to create early detection tools, so they can pick up illegal content - like the livestreamed abuse of children - and above all, they want online platforms to be more accountable.
This is surely essential when protecting the innocence of children.
