This happens every day.....they just happened to be stupid enough to post it to Facebook

You must have seen this video as it is all over the INTERNET and cable news. Four youtes lured a mentally disabled white guy to torture, burn, scalp and beat while stupidly filming it on Facebook and shouting such pearls as "Fuck White People" and "Fuck Donald Trump". There was some debate as to whether or not it would be charged as a hate crime. Various geniuses like Don Lemon of CNN said it was not and that it was not "evil" just poorly educated youtes. All of whom are over 18 and one who was twenty something.

Hoisted by her own petard when all she wanted was a double headed dildo.

Janis Ian gets booted from Facebook for reposting lewd cartoon

Sixties folkie Janis Ian is fighting The Man again — but this time the man is Mark Zuckerberg.

Ian — whose early recordings were censored because of their socially progressive themes — has been banned from Facebook after reposting a cartoon showing an elderly woman with incongruously perky breasts standing naked in front of a mirror with the caption, “Beauty fades, but implants last forever.”

The “At Seventeen” singer was locked out of the site for 24 hours, then posted the image again only to be given the boot again.

Her wife, Patricia Snyder, told Ian’ s 400,000 followers that they believe the ban’s the work of a troll Ian blocked from her page for making racist remarks, who then complained about the cartoon in retaliation.

Facebook conducts another social experiment on its members

By tweaking the news feeds of nearly two million users to present more hard news pulled from various sources that they claim are neutral. They attempted to increase voter turnout of 2012 elections and may have succeeded in increasing turnout by 3%.

The company made news articles posted by users' friends appear higher up in the stream of status updates and articles that display when users first log onto the site, to see if the stories shared by friends before an election would convince them to vote.

Facebook shared the information with academics but did not publicly disclose their experiment until Mother Jones revealed research the academics intend to publish.

“Voting is a core value of democracy and we believe that encouraging civic participation is an important contribution we can make to the community," a Facebook spokesman said.

Well, look at you. Your sanctimony shines right through.

Facebook also encourages its members to vote by including a clickable button that reads, "I'm a voter" or "I'm voting." According to their findings the buttons increased turnout by 340,000 additional votes.

I wonder if it ever occurs to these get out vote enthusiasts that the vote they get out might not be the vote they're looking for, and that inducing easily manipulated lazy or indifferent voters to act might not be the best idea.

To register your disapproval at the article on Huffington Post you must first sign up to Facebook to comment.

To read the comments to the article on Huffington Post, I must first turn off "do not track me" Safari extension. Half the commenters are fine with it, showing over half Facebook users are on the short side of the IQ bell curve or else none of the commenters would tolerate it. 

So just shut up. Or they will experiment upon you, one way or another, use you, sell your personal information and opinions. There is no advantage to  giving these people power and zero opportunity to make money off you. They're all short a few semesters of business ethics.
