Mark Zuckerberg has blasted Twitter over its decision to to tag two of President Donald Trump ’ s tweets about mail-in voting with fact-checking links .
The Facebook CEO said that private companies “ shouldn ’ t be the arbiter of truth.
” Zuckerberg ’ s criticism of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey comes just as President Trump prepares to sign an executive order targeting “ left-leaning bias ” on American social media platforms .
Zero Hedge reports : Asked to comment in Twitter ’ s decision to tag two Trump tweets as “ misinformation ” by CNBC ’ s Andrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I don ’ t think that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth…Political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy , and people should be able to see what politicians say.
” Although Facebook does use independent fact-checkers to screen content , they ’ re really only there to “ catch the worst of the worst stuff.
” “ The point of that program isn ’ t to try to parse words on is something slightly true or false…in terms of political speech , again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broad deference to the political process and political speech , ” Zuck said .
This isn ’ t exactly a surprise : Facebook said back in October that it would allow political ads on its platform , even if they contained “ misinformation ” .
The left threw a screaming tantrum over this decision , while conservatives applauded the Facebook CEO for standing up to the left ’ s rage politics .
Still , Facebook has lines that nobody – including politicians – are allowed to cross .
Zuck cited a recent incident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Jair Bolsonaro touting hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as ‘ miracle cures ’ for the coronavirus , despite research showing the medications might be harmful to patients suffering from severe COVID-19 symptoms .
“ There are clear lines that map to specific harms and damage that can be done where we take down the content , ” he said .
“ But overall , including compared to some of the other companies , we try to be more on the side of giving people a voice and free expression.
” Asked about Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media companies for discriminating against conservatives , the CEO said that fighting censorship with censorship didn ’ t strike him as the correct response .
I have to understand what they actually would intend to do , ” Zuckerberg said in response to the president ’ s warning .
“ But in general , I think a government choosing to to censor a platform because they ’ re worried about censorship doesn ’ t exactly strike me as the the right reflex there.
” In a series of tweets , Twitter CEO Jack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insisted that Twitter wasn ’ t positioning itself as an “ arbiter of truth ” .
But as Zuckerberg pointed out during his conversation on CNBC , there ’ s already been a flood of media coverage of Trump ’ s tweets , plus thousands of angry replies calling Trump a racist and a liar .
If Twitter users can ’ t “ connect the dots ” on their own , is it really Twitter ’ s responsibility to do readers ’ critical thinking for them ?

Zuckerberg’s criticism of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey comes just as President Trump prepares to sign an executive order targeting “left-leaning bias” on American social media platforms.
Zero Hedge reports: Asked to comment in Twitter’s decision to tag two Trump tweets as “misinformation” by CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin, Zuckerberg replied that “I don’t think that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth…Political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy, and people should be able to see what politicians say.”
Although Facebook does use independent fact-checkers to screen content, they’re really only there to “catch the worst of the worst stuff.”
“The point of that program isn’t to try to parse words on is something slightly true or false…in terms of political speech, again, I think you want to give broad deference to the political process and political speech,” Zuck said.
This isn’t exactly a surprise: Facebook said back in October that it would allow political ads on its platform, even if they contained “misinformation”. The left threw a screaming tantrum over this decision, while conservatives applauded the Facebook CEO for standing up to the left’s rage politics.
Still, Facebook has lines that nobody – including politicians – are allowed to cross. Zuck cited a recent incident where Facebook removed a post by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro touting hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as ‘miracle cures’ for the coronavirus, despite research showing the medications might be harmful to patients suffering from severe COVID-19 symptoms.
“There are clear lines that map to specific harms and damage that can be done where we take down the content,” he said. “But overall, including compared to some of the other companies, we try to be more on the side of giving people a voice and free expression.”
Zuckerberg made similar comments during a recent appearance on Fox News.
Asked about Trump’s threat to crack down on social media companies for discriminating against conservatives, the CEO said that fighting censorship with censorship didn’t strike him as the correct response.
I have to understand what they actually would intend to do,” Zuckerberg said in response to the president’s warning. “But in general, I think a government choosing to to censor a platform because they’re worried about censorship doesn’t exactly strike me as the the right reflex there.”
In a series of tweets, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey doubled-down on his decision, and insisted that Twitter wasn’t positioning itself as an “arbiter of truth”.
This does not make us an “arbiter of truth.” Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions. — jack (@jack) May 28, 2020
Per our Civic Integrity policy (https://t.co/uQ0AoPtoCm), the tweets yesterday may mislead people into thinking they don’t need to register to get a ballot (only registered voters receive ballots). We’re updating the link on @realDonaldTrump’s tweet to make this more clear. — jack (@jack) May 28, 2020

However, the Justice Department will continue the investigation against Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).
Breitbart report: Burr recently stepped down as the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman. He reportedly sold between $628,000 and $1.7 million in a single day in February. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) now serves as the acting Intelligence chairman. Burr reportedly had more direct involvement in his trades compared to the other senators.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began the investigation after reports suggested that members of Congress, their spouses, or their investment advisers sold hundreds of thousands of shares of stock after lawmakers were briefed about the threats posed by the coronavirus.
Feinstein, Loffler, and Inhofe have contended that their investment advisers made the trades and that they did not learn of them until after the fact.
Loeffler, who is running for reelection in a jungle primary against Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), said that the closure of the investigation serves as a “clear exoneration” of Loeffler.
Stephen Lawson, a spokesperson for Loeffler, said in a statement on Tuesday:
Today’s clear exoneration by the Department of Justice affirms what Senator Loeffler has said all along– she did nothing wrong. This was a politically-motivated attack shamelessly promoted by the fake news media and her political opponents.
Loeffler announced in April that she and her husband Jeffrey Sprecher, the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, would divest from individual stocks after facing criticism for her alleged insider trading.
“Senator Loeffler will continue to focus her full attention on delivering results for Georgians,” Lawson added.

Unearthed Biden Speech in China Urged CCP Intrusion Into ‘All Levels Of US Govt, Classrooms, Labs, And Boardrooms’

Disturbing comments Joe Biden made in China in 2011 have been unearthed , raising the question – is he a useful idiot , or is he colluding with China to wreak havoc on U.S. companies , institutions , and national security ?
During a speech at the Sichuan University while he was Obama ’ s Vice President , Joe Biden said he welcomes Chinese intrusion into “ all levels of [ U.S. ] government , classrooms , laboratories , athletic fields and boardrooms.
” The former veep stated at the time : “ In order to cement this robust partnership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ties between Washington and Beijing , which we ’ re working on every day , go beyond it to include all levels of government , go beyond it to include classrooms and laboratories , athletic fields and boardrooms.
” WATCH the video here before it gets taken down : Biden , 77 , even advocated for closer ties between the U.S. and CCP on the military front : “ …that ’ s why it ’ s also important that our military leaders work together , get to know one another — not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders.
” Biden takes this reckless approach to the private sector , too : “ The United States should undertake to make it easier for Chinese businesspeople to obtain visas to travel to the United States .
It takes much too long for that to happen.
” During the 50-minutes he spoke , Biden expressed support for granting China increased access to high-tech U.S. products : “ Already , we have made thousands of new items available for export to China for exclusive civilian use that were not available before , and tens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ available very soon .
That ’ s a significant change in our export policy and a rejection of those voices in America that say we should not export that kind of technology to – for civilian use in – China .
We disagree , and we ’ re changing.
” Critics are right to oppose exports of this nature : they often have military applications and can end up in the hands of the CCP .
And despite his insistence in the speech trade with China “ supports hundreds of thousands of jobs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s in our mutual interest in each of our countries to promote that exchange , ” the nearly 4 million jobs lost in under 20 years due to China ’ s predatory trading practices such as currency manipulation tell a different story .
China ’ s exports have even harmed American lives : Chinese toys are made with toxic lead paint ; Chinese fish are carcinogenic due to the country ’ s polluted water ; Chinese candy has been contaminated formaldehyde ; and Chinese drywall is made with radioactive material .
Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believed in 1979 and said so and I believe now that a rising China is a positive development , not only for the people of China but for the United States and the world as a whole.
” He continues : “ it is in our self-interest that China continues to prosper ” and retained hope “ a rising China will fuel economic growth and prosperity and it will bring to the fore a new partner with whom we can meet global challenges together.
” None of this has materialized .
Even the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the final stop of his four-day China trip of which increased ties with the country was the main takeaway , speaks volumes : Sichuan University is a CCP funded and controlled institution with former high-ranking party apparatchiks on its board .
The university even utilizes “ student information officers ” tasked with identifying professors and peers who “ show any sign of disloyalty to President Xi Jinping and the ruling Communist Party ” and has a track record of intellectual property theft .
The remarks are especially concerning in light of a Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese ] organization or [ Chinese ] citizen shall support , assist , and cooperate with state intelligence work in accordance with the law , and maintain the secrecy of all knowledge of state intelligence work.
” In other words , the CCP can requisition any citizen at any time in any place to assist with any goal of which surpassing the U.S. in international standing is paramount .
And Joe Biden wants to facilitate China ’ s unrestricted access to virtually all corners of the U.S .
The dangers of inviting Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not purely hypothetical .
Many of the “ partnerships ” Biden urges already exist – and at great detriment to U.S. workers , companies , and the economy as a whole .
The CCP has coerced U.S. corporates to pull advertisements and products displaying Taiwan as a country independent from China and expressing support for the Hong Kong protests along with compelling the entertainment industry to frequently cut anti-CCP content .
The CCP already has a solid foothold in U.S. schools through Confucius Institutes , the regime ’ s international propaganda arm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ horse organization have admitted it ’ s a smokescreen for imposing “ Chinese morality and values.
” And the CCP-orchestrated Thousand Talents Plan seeks to lure prominent academics away from Western institutions and reorient their research towards granting China an upper hand technologically and scientifically .
Granting China broader access to American laboratories is also a clear and present danger .
Two Chinese nationals were recently arrested for smuggling U.S. biological research , ostensibly at the request of the CCP .
But this isn ’ t an isolated incident or confined to scientific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s modus operandi with nearly one in five American companies falling victim to the predatory scheme in 2019 .
A study published by the US International Trade Commission the same year Biden praised China ’ s progress on the issue “ estimated that if IP protection in just China were improved to a level comparable to that in the United States , the U.S. economy would obtain an estimated $ 107 billion in additional annual sales and net U.S. employment could increase by 2.1-million jobs.
” There ’ s not enough time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enumerate all the abuses U.S. businesses and workers endured at the hands of the CCP .
But it certainly doesn ’ t take much convincing to see why Biden ’ s approach to China would wreak havoc on U.S. companies , institutions , and national security .

A volunteer in Moderna ’ s coronavirus vaccine trial has revealed that it left him the sickest he has ever been in his life — but during his CNN interview he chose not to reveal the horror he suffered because he was wary about “ triggering anti-vax ” people .
Ian Haydon , 29 , identified himself in a series of interviews as one of four volunteers who had adverse reactions during the trials that Moderna Therepeutics , which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation , hailed for “ positive ” early findings of antibody responses .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ News that he started getting chills within hours of getting home from his second dose — waking in the early hours with a 103.2-degree fever .
NYPost report : He was already nauseous and had aching muscles , so his girlfriend called a 24-hour hotline set up by those leading the study , following their advice to go to urgent care , getting there at 5 a.m. , he told STAT .
Haydon said he turned down an offer to be taken to a local hospital , and instead went home to rest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours , he still had a temperature of 101.5 — feeling so nauseous , he threw up in the bathroom , he said .
He then fainted on his way back to the bedroom — with his girlfriend luckily on hand to stop his head from slamming into the floor , he said .
Calling doctors in the study a second time , he ultimately decided to stay home and rest , with the fever eventually dropping that night , he said .
Haydon initially hid the full drama of his reaction , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cooper that he had a “ rough go of things for 24 hours.
” He was wary about revealing the horror he suffered because he was wary about “ triggering anti-vax ” people , he admitted in a series of tweets .
“ I understand that sharing the story , it ’ s going to be frightening to some people , ” he told STAT News .
“ I hope that it doesn ’ t fuel any sort of general antagonism towards vaccines in general or towards even this vaccine.
” He stressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the trials — one 10 times stronger than others — which he has been told “ will no longer be tested.
” “ There ’ s no failure here — this is a big reason why we do clinical trials , ” he insisted on Twitter .
“ Even safe meds can ’ t be taken at 10x doses.
” He also insisted that as sick as he was , it was never “ life-threatening , ” saying , “ They ’ re over , and I ’ m back to marathon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said , he remains “ cautiously optimistic ” about a vaccine breakthrough from the trial .
“ Vaccines are the single most important medicines we have .
It ’ s important to test them carefully — which is what ’ s happening here , ” he wrote .
“ What I went through pales in comparison to being hospitalized with COVID-19 .
Or to the pain of losing a loved one to the pandemic , ” he said .

The Seattle-based communications manager admitted to STAT News that he started getting chills within hours of getting home from his second dose — waking in the early hours with a 103.2-degree fever.
NYPost report: He was already nauseous and had aching muscles, so his girlfriend called a 24-hour hotline set up by those leading the study, following their advice to go to urgent care, getting there at 5 a.m., he told STAT.
Haydon said he turned down an offer to be taken to a local hospital, and instead went home to rest with Tylenol.
After sleeping a few hours, he still had a temperature of 101.5 — feeling so nauseous, he threw up in the bathroom, he said.
He then fainted on his way back to the bedroom — with his girlfriend luckily on hand to stop his head from slamming into the floor, he said.
Calling doctors in the study a second time, he ultimately decided to stay home and rest, with the fever eventually dropping that night, he said.
Haydon initially hid the full drama of his reaction, having only told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he had a “rough go of things for 24 hours.”
He was wary about revealing the horror he suffered because he was wary about “triggering anti-vax” people, he admitted in a series of tweets.
“I understand that sharing the story, it’s going to be frightening to some people,” he told STAT News.
“I hope that it doesn’t fuel any sort of general antagonism towards vaccines in general or towards even this vaccine.”
He stressed that he had received the highest dose from the trials — one 10 times stronger than others — which he has been told “will no longer be tested.”
“There’s no failure here — this is a big reason why we do clinical trials,” he insisted on Twitter. “Even safe meds can’t be taken at 10x doses.”
He also insisted that as sick as he was, it was never “life-threatening,” saying, “They’re over, and I’m back to marathon training.”
Even after his sickness, he said, he remains “cautiously optimistic” about a vaccine breakthrough from the trial.
“Vaccines are the single most important medicines we have. It’s important to test them carefully — which is what’s happening here,” he wrote. “What I went through pales in comparison to being hospitalized with COVID-19. Or to the pain of losing a loved one to the pandemic,” he said.

The pedophiles have rebranded themselves under the acronym “MAP” which stands for “minor attracted person,” a thinly veiled euphemism.
Now, according to Rappler, obscene and disturbing images featuring minors in sexual contexts, posted from the Philippines, has increased tremendously via the creation of a not-so-black-market on Twitter.
Rappler recounts:
A boy stares into the camera. The phone’s yellow flash illuminates his face, highlighting features that suggest he is barely in his teens.
He is in a pitch dark room, sitting on what looks like a plastic bench. The camera points downward, revealing the boy naked from his waist down. At the 20-second mark, a hand moves into the frame and starts touching the boy’s private parts.
The video cuts abruptly. The sneak peek is up. To watch the entire video, you’d need to pay P300 [$6 USD], says the tweet.

A petition to expel and remove “ dangerous ” Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress has amassed a staggering 125,919 signatures from patriots , reaching the number required for an official response from the White House .
The “ We the People ” petition accuses Maxine Waters of promoting violence , and says her behavior is especially dangerous “ at a time in our country when liberals are so wildly unhinged and violent , have no control over their emotions and are brainwashed by fake news.
” The White House petition can be accessed here .
“ What Waters said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ push back ” against Trump officials , and make it impossible for them to shop , eat out , or go to gas stations , is one of the most irresponsible statements anyone could have said , let alone a so-called Democrat leader .
“ It is especially dangerous to call for public attacks at a time in our country when liberals are so wildly unhinged and violent , have no control over their emotions and are brainwashed by fake news and hoodwinked by lying , sleazy politicians like Maxine Waters .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough for Maxine Waters .

“What Waters said, when she called on Americans to “push back” against Trump officials, and make it impossible for them to shop, eat out, or go to gas stations, is one of the most irresponsible statements anyone could have said, let alone a so-called Democrat leader.
“It is especially dangerous to call for public attacks at a time in our country when liberals are so wildly unhinged and violent, have no control over their emotions and are brainwashed by fake news and hoodwinked by lying, sleazy politicians like Maxine Waters.
“Under the circumstances, censure is not enough for Maxine Waters.
“Waters should face expulsion for what she’s done.”

“We the People is a platform that empowers the American public to take this action like never before – it’s a way for anybody, anywhere, to speak directly to the government and become an agent for change.
“With We the People, you can easily create a petition online, share it, and collect signatures. If you gather 100,000 signature in 30 days, we’ll review your petition, make sure it gets in front of the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”
HUD secretary Ben Carson has also criticized Rep. Maxine Waters for trying to shift the blame onto President Trump for problems in her own district.
Ben Carson also criticized Rep. Maxine Waters and her conduct, stating “Basic manners elude you.”
According to Carson, “basic manners elude” the California lawmaker, who should be ashamed of herself for trying to blame Trump for problems that she has not fixed in three decades. “Shamelessness is a career politician of 30 years laying blame,” said Carson.
