Boycott Social Media.

"The public should start boycotting social media companies in order to force them to act....

Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the country's leading child protection police officer, said handing out fines to tech giants, was just a "drop in the ocean", adding that damaging their brand might be the only way to get them to take notice.

Platforms that host content promoting bullying, harassment, self harm, suicide, child abuse and terrorism could face huge fines as well as senior executives being held personally responsible.

But while welcoming the proposals, Mr Bailey said he feared the suggested sanctions might still not be enough to persuade the overseas firms to act."

From the Daily Telegraph

"Overseas firms" ?..that is Wireclub.

But the UK Government is dependant on Google and the recruitment agency websites and the Fake news sites and has been so for years.

Any Take Down could come from abroad where the UK Government is fairly boycotted anyway so who is going to really do it??

I think the unsaid idea is the institutionalised bullying and hate such as the use of Cookies and other data gathering devices, they are a million times more powerful and fast then they were when people first said they should be restricted, can provide to those who want to cause harm.

If Google wanted to stop it they could have because they certainly do have the software to do so.

The reward for collecting them is to damage or disturb other people.

And there are more powerful ways of finding out private information from our computers. We were told these are secure and private but they are obviously not and all you have to do is buy the legal software to peep in to other peoples lives.

But wrong doers are not detected by the Internet spies.

You have to conclude that the wrong doers and the Internet companies are the same people.

Its a bit like buying Adolf Hitler tanks or sending him money.

I don't watch the news either,- so I can't tell yer.

You just have to be very careful which is n't Anti Social exactly but it does stop freedom to speak.

In the UK we have to pay a lot of money to get on the internet and talk to others but it is not safe or free - people with yet more money can and do buy more powerful computers to spy on others- to do them harm- and there even a service sector for these activities.

So in other words, some people are encouraged to think they are above the majority and can gain information from them in secret.

refurbwoodart: Well I don't really have social media or use it much dont have Facebook or anything only here and one uncensored site I visit. But its pretty obvious that since George Soros demanded a few days ago that Mark Zuckerburg and Sheryl Sandberg be removed from being able to run or even own Facebook claiming that they are in collusion with Russia to try and help Trump win again,it seams that the associated press has been attacking Facebook and this morning on the news pretty much claimed that Russia has already helped Trump win the 2020 election already. They might want to lol at some of the crooked democrats running for president too though. Butigieg is bring Investigated for paying off the shadow inc. So he could declare himself the winner in Iowa. Bernie owns three houses worth over a million each and is one of the wealthiest people in congress. Elizabeth Warren takes her private jet to campaign rallies but hides her head in a blanket or jacket until she gets in a limo or bus to go to rallies. Bloomberg well he has made many remarks way worse than anything Trump has said in any speech or press conferences. Joe Biden well he is under investigation by the CIA for his involvement in the Ukraine. That really only leaves Amy Klibichare or however its spelled is the only one that lots of dirt hasn't been dug up on. And its very obvious that George Soros has already picked Elizabeth Warren to be the democrats nominee so everybody else probably could just drop out and not even campaign anymore because the associated press is going to be feeding everybody Elizabeth Warren over and over until we can't stand it. And they will be trying to report every little dumb or stupid move every other candidate makes will be under the microscope. For those who don't know who Soros is he owns an empire that more or less controls all the news you see on tv and all the cable news networks. He owns more associated press outlets thsn anyone else in the world. Thats why he is attacking Facebook its a media outlet for news that he can't control. Thats also why do many other news outlets try to claim Fox news is fake but they are the only news outlet left on tv that doesn't report only from the AP. They report just lil the old days of news like Walter Cronkite did,from the AP the UPI and The BBC. Soros can't control those so he is pitching a fit about it.

refurbwoodart: Well I get that but what I'm saying is the reason this man owns so many newspapers is each paper is a vote on what news is reported. Having as many papers that he has controls what stories you see report on on the nightly news outlets. For example one day I read the coast guard news I often I read border patrol newsroom. One example is the news went way overboard reporting about Trump having so many kids in the facilities on the border. They actually reported his admin. Took children from the hands of their parents and locked them up. However Border patrol newsroom a certified homeland security news outlet reported it quite differently. They had 86 news stories of children brought into the Us in parties of 16-22 kids without accompanying adults this was groups of Coyotes' bringing nothing but children without adults in to make it look like they took kids away from parents when the kids came in without parents. Then one coast guard news story said just a few weeks after the hurricane hit. The coast guard busted two ships with a total of 12.8 tons of cocaine and heroine into Puerto Rico. They were unloading I on the dock in San Juan right in clear view of Yulin Cruises window of her office. Now the helicopter noticed something on the mountain and once the cutters busted the boats the helicopter investigated what it was. It was 1 million bottles of water and 14 tractor trailers full of food for hurricane victims that Yulin Cruise signed for but didn't distribute so she coup go on Good morning America and da Trump hasn't sent us anything. Well the next day not one network at all reported that bust or the find of water and food. But the top story for that day was. Stormy Daniels was arrested last night by Trump supporting police officers. So that tells you what owning the papers and controlling what stories get reported can have. Just one example there and it happens every day.
