JUST IN: Elon Musk Warns Users That Zuckerberg's 'WhatsApp' Cannot Be Trusted, Here's What He Said About The Messaging Platform... (100percentfedup.com)

FWIW

Of course they deny it.  Once a liar always a liar.

I love how they still use 'conspiracy theory/theorist'.  They really can't be that stupid.  Only the brainwashed, past fixing, believe that conspiracy theorists are bad.  It has been proven that the major conspiracy theorists were 110% correct in EVERYTHING they have spoken about for the last 10 to 15 years.  I mean everything they said, turned out to be the truth.

So if the conspiracy theorists, so far, have been at least 95% accurate, and even if they got something wrong, they weren't purposely lying.

Yet, all these people do is lie.  Constantly.  You would have to be under total mind control if you still believe conspiracy theorists are kooks and don't know what they are talking about.

Just another reason to not have ever had anything set up on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or any other of their tentacles on any device.

LOL...

I heard it said once: The only difference between conspiracy and conspiracy theory is 3 months! (* CHUCKLE *) In other words, they called it conspiracy theory for 3 month and then it was found to be true and thus properly labeled conspiracy!

You would be surprised how totally under mind control many of the people today are. Especially those under 50 years of age.

Yep, and don't forget Twitter, Tiktok, Line and many others too.

You're correct, except it's just as bad in our age group and older.  You see it in this forum, and many forums.  Most are deceived, willfully.  Wide is the gate to destruction.

I would be willing to say many are deceived willfully, but not most... some just don't quite understand yet that they're being deceived! And that is not what I would call willfully! 

Edited to add: Perhaps unknowingly or ignorantly, but not willfully!

Yep. Oh, and I heard that as cable prices keep rising and more and more people quit paying higher and higher subscription fees for sports that they aren't watching, but bundled with the cable packages - the "cord cutters" who give up cable entirely since they can't get it without things like ESPN.

This causes subscribers to drop off, which causes revenue to drop, which causes cable companies to raise the rates, which causes more subscribers to drop off, and the whole thing becomes a death spiral.

But I'm figuring, stay clear of the social media places like that, and cancel culture can't come cancel those who they can't find.

Yep.

A lot of people don't realize that on most of those free sites, their sole income is the advertising companies. 

And so the advertising companies do profiling of those members on those free sites. That in turn means that you're going to get a lot of advertising to things you reply to or press the like button over. And that includes sites like Youtube too. 

Once they've profiled you, if they're a liberal organization, they will pass that intel down their food chain of command to use you as fodder to further their narrative.

,That is why I use a couple of "burner machines" to do assorted research, with totally manufactured fictitious character names and back stories to conduct certain types of research. It lets them build up a profile based on those characters. It's a trick a professional writer taught me years ago.

Throw in using a VPN for those machines so they don't all come back to the same external IP address, which would make some algorithm go, "hmmm - why would any people with such diametrically opposite tastes and such live under the same roof, or even be able to stand one another".

Yeah,. they DO build quite an interesting profile on them, which actually makes some of the kinds of ads that pop up rather amusing.

The important thing is, when researching something, always stay in character for the machine you're using to look for something.

I kind of suspect this is more widespread than many people realize, which calls into question the quality of the info used to produce the ads and data mine things. Also, there's a lot of "ad fraud" being done using bots, that do nothing more than click on hundreds of thousands of ads per hour using several thousand fake names and such.

I read a technical analysis somewhere that estimates between 75% and 90% of the Twitter traffic is generated by bots, and probably a good fraction of the other major platforms' traffic is done the same way.

Now with the rise of artificial intelligence, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns out that an awful lot of "user engagement" is really just bots talking to other bots, in a race to the bottom where the actual ad responses that generate true sales becomes smaller and smaller, and the echo chamber effect becomes more and more pronounced.

This also doesn't bode well for political stability either, as a chatbot echo chamber will probably trend towards the most extreme positions imaginable on every issue.
