    Facebook Ups the Creepy Factor

    Facebook Ups the Creepy Factor-facebook-extremist-notification-768x432-jpg

    Tech giant Facebook has taken its invasive surveillance measures to shocking extremes with a set of new notifications that ask users whether they're concerned about their friends "becoming an extremist" and warn users that they "may have been exposed to harmful extremist content."

    One of these notifications states:

    "Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist?

    We care about preventing extremism on Facebook. Others in your situation have received confidential support
    Facebook starts asking users if they're concerned about their friends "becoming an extremist"

    All the liberals will be reporting anything they don't like. And I'm sure FB will ban many that don't deserve it.

    I'm sure Facebook will be obligated to share their findings with the proper authorities.


    Get ready people, it's happening.

    I've pastored country club "churches" that thought I was an extremist. I found it encouraging.

    Like with most things, it comes down to what they end up actually using it for. But the devil is at large, there's no doubt about that.

    We will work to improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs. And on that, I would just note that one of the things we're talking about is the need to do something in this space, like the "See something" — "If you see something, say something" concept that has been promulgated previously by DHS. This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence.

    We will also be (inaudible) efforts to address online terrorist recruitment and mobilization to violence through increased information sharing with the technology sector and through the creation of innovative approaches to fostering digital literacy and building resilience to terrorist recruitment and mobilization.
    and

    So, there are a number of ways in which we're trying to augment our efforts to get at that challenge. One is by enhancing, augmenting the information-sharing the government does with tech companies so as to facilitate their more assertive voluntary enforcement of their terms of service on their platforms to protect other users from those who might pose threats of violence.

    We, as a government, see different things from what any particular tech company might see. Any particular tech company often knows its own platform very well. But the government sees things — actually, threats of violence — across platforms. They see the relationship between online recruitment, radicalization, and violence in the physical world.

    And so, helping to illuminate these threats is a process that has already begun between the government and the tech sector. And it will continue, again, specifically on this issue set, given the priority we're placing in addressing it.
