Campbell Brown of Facebook's News team explicitly stated that Facebook would be changing its news algorithms to give Facebook "a point of view."
>Campbell Brown, a former anchor on NBC and CNN who now leads Facebook’s news partnerships team, told attendees at a recent technology and publishing conference that Facebook would be censoring news publishers based on its own internal biases:
>“This is not us stepping back from news. This is us changing our relationship with publishers and emphasizing something that Facebook has never done before: It’s having a point of view, and it’s leaning into quality news. … We are, for the first time in the history of Facebook, taking a step to try to to define what ‘quality news’ looks like and give that a boost.”
This has resulted in Conservative News being harmed massively, while far left and leftwing news outlets are unaffected, and center-left news outlets benefit greatly.
>The 25 on the liberal side of the scale averaged a 1.86 percent boost in traffic from Facebook, whereas the 25 news organizations on the conservative side averaged a 13.71 percent decrease in traffic.
>Based on this analysis, it is clear that liberal news sites are being promoted in Facebook users’ news feeds more often than conservative sites.
>After removing the 15 publishers with the least traffic from Facebook, the trend becomes even more clear.
>Of the remaining 35 news sources, the 12 most liberal sites averaged a boost of 0.21 percent — in other words, they don’t appear to have been affected in any meaningful way.
>The 11 sites in the middle — which ranged from “left-center” to “least biased” on the MBFC News scale — saw a significant increase in Facebook traffic of 12.81 percent.
>The 12 most conservatives sites lost an average of 27.06 percent of their traffic from Facebook.
>Of the 12 most liberal sites, six saw double-digit decreases in traffic, while four saw double-digit increases and two — The Washington Post and HuffPo — saw single-digit increases. CNN’s traffic increased 43.78 percent.
>Of the 11 sites in the middle of the scale, nine saw traffic increase. Only two — CBS News and The Atlantic — saw a traffic decrease.
>Of the 12 most conservative sites, only two benefited from increased Facebook traffic — the Daily Mail with 3.51 percent and Fox News with 31.67 percent.
Two Conservative News Outlets seem to have been forced to close down because of this
>The other 10 saw decreases ranging from 3.13 percent at Breitbart to a whopping 76.49 percent at Independent Journal Review. On Feb. 15, IJR announced significant layoffs to an “already skeletal staff,” The Daily Caller reported. Rare, a conservative leaning news media publication owned by Cox Media Group, experienced a 68.7 percent drop in traffic after the algorithm change. Rare will shut down entirely at the end of the month, Axios reported.

Here's an article written by Campbell Brown a year ago named "why I blame TV for Trump"
>"I really would like to blame Trump. But everything he is doing is with TV news’ full acquiescence. Trump doesn’t force the networks to show his rallies live rather than do real reporting. Nor does he force anyone to accept his phone calls rather than demand that he do a face-to-face interview that would be a greater risk for him. TV news has largely given Trump editorial control. It is driven by a hunger for ratings—and the people who run the networks and the news channels are only too happy to make that Faustian bargain."

If anyone on this board has a Facebook account, delete it. Right now. Open a new tab, go to Facebook and immediately delete it while you're thinking about it, don't just resolve to do it eventually. Send a message to your friends or whatever explaining that you're leaving for whatever reason you want to tell them and leave ways to contact you if they want to stay in touch, but kill your account.
They will give you the option to "put it on hold" or "go invisible," don't take it. Go for the full delete. That's how you send a message to these people. You are literally their product, if they can't collect data on you to sell anymore it's revenue lost.
There is nothing on Facebook that is essential to your life. Delete it and live better.

Facebook tracks your visits to any site with a like button.
They have your name and location.
They know what kind of people you associate with.
They know what kind of pages you subsribe to.
They know what kind of pages you spend time reading through.
They track which photos and events your friends tag you in.
They have figured out most of your life history.
Advertisers will lick facebooks toenails to narrow down their audience based on those kind of metrics. That you decided to stop making personal posts at some point would trouble some advertisers, but most already have enough selectors to in- or exclude you from their campaigns.

Nah
I am seriously shady as fuck when it comes to my privacy, a guy tried to blackmail me once and he fell for my "I was born in Italy" story.
The only one following me everywhere is Google thanks to this shitty phone that keeps recording everything I do.

I deactivated mine, didn't see an option to permadelelte it unless you are dead and before you died you requested faceberg to delete your account after death.
Is deactivation good enough?

Thats a good one!
We just need to get an HF capable device for everyone and an encripted frequency (maybe we could use HOP to ensure privacy)
So we get a completely private chan!

And this my friends is why you don't allow your computer to connect to Facebook's, under any circumstances.
If you see Facebook comments, you have done something wrong. If you see a Facebook like button, you have done something wrong.
If at all possible, do the same with Google- don't even connect to their fucking font servers.
Nearly all variants of adblock will allow you to do this.

https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-completely-delete-your-facebook-account-3529463/
There's no way to tell if your account is 100% deleted, I'm guessing they still keep some things in their database, but if you follow these steps it will at least put an end to your visible presence and their ability to track you. According to this site your account is deleted after 14 days, this is what I did and I confirmed that I can no longer log in. You might want to also consider a complete wipe and reinstallation of your system to get rid of any tracking software they might have put on your machine. Phones are a little bit trickier, if you're really paranoid you may want to just change providers and get a prepaid or something, otherwise I guess just uninstall the app and dissociate the account from or ideally uninstall every app you gave Facebook permission to talk to.

Call it blackpilled, but something tells me Facebook doesn’t actually delete your account. If you’ve ever given your info to Facebook or Google, they probably still have it. The best you can do is try to prevent them from getting any more.

My view is that anyone studpid enough to have a facebook account at anytime in the last decade deserves everything they get.
Facebook warned them quite clearly their data was going to be used. Facebook warned them about content and the whole internet community was tin-hatting about it for years.
My other view is that traitor boy Christopher Wylie needs a healthy does of gypsy-jizm.

Facebook is going to suffer quite a lot soon. EU law and UK law are changing and the UK body in charge of this will be able to fine it 4% of global profit for non-compliance as well as have powers for internal inspections. Either facebook delete all data of EU citizens including UK or will essentially get shut out of advertising funding.
Those who are eating the vomit news that CA are the bad guys wont need to wait for long to the reach around.
