&quot;US government ordering Google to provide users’ search data: report&quot;
https://nypost.com/2021/10/06/us-government-ordering-search-engines-to-provide-search-data/

&quot;You see, Zuck, it&#039;s really not that hard.
Google does it, course they do. No problem.
Are you trying to tell us that Google can do something that Facebook can&#039;t?
Come on, Zuck, don&#039;t make get on our bad side. Don&#039;t make us upset. 
We know you can do it. We know you really want to help us.
Come on Zuck. Help us out here.
Don&#039;t make us do what we really, really don&#039;t want to do it.
Don&#039;t make us feel bad.
Come on Zuck. You&#039;re a decent guy. We&#039;re counting on you....&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hold on! Here&#039;s an unexpected development:
The show, all earnest seriousness up until now(!), is swiftly evolving into a fierce, no-holds barred---and UNCENSORED (imagine that!)---game of &quot;He Said, She Said&quot;! 
(Gosh, who&#039;d a thunk it?)

Yep, it&#039;s time to have a look at &quot;The Daily Mail&quot;...
(because we really WOULD PREFER to read some news...):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10063501/Facebook-calls-internet-regulated-statement-criticizing-Haungen-low-level-employee.html

One would like to sit back and enjoy the popcorn; alas I&#039;ve no appetite..as the stakes in this most sinister---and nauseating---of &quot;games&quot; are colossal....

Moreover, should one wonder if &quot;He&quot; has a smidgeon of a chance against &quot;She&quot; in this staged, sordid slugfest?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AF, thanks.
Would tend to agree that this theatrical moment is FB in the role of BK (i.e., Brett Kavanaugh). 
Here&#039;s more of the same, perhaps with some additional angles...

Mollie Hemingway:
&quot;Top democratic operative Burton&#039;s involvement helping to manage the &#039;Facebook whistleblower&#039; public debut suggests her argument is part of a broader Democratic operation&quot;:
https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1445186374416621572

While Glenn Greenwald adds a characteristically acute wrinkle to this theatrical piece of authoritarian overreach:
&quot;Democrats and Media Do Not Want to Weaken Facebook, Just Commandeer its Power to Censor&quot;
https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1445506265145241608
...and:
&quot;...[T]he real goal of Democrats and their liberal corporate media allies is not to weaken or break up Facebook and Google but to transfer their vast monopolistic power to themselves....&quot;
https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1445554039521873930
H/T for all: Mollie Hemingway twitter feed (as per usual, she&#039;s on fire, BTW, with all kinds of important links...)

Additional note: With this particular &quot;whistleblower&quot; so concerned about the kids, might one wonder where she stands on CRT?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mary Chastain gives some perspective on the Whistleblower.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/10/facebook-and-leftist-whistleblower-want-congress-to-censor-and-regulate-online-speech/

It&#039;s not laudatory.

I think commenter randian nailed the agenda, though:
&quot;Let’s talk about what this is really about: eliminating competition to the left’s stranglehold on social media. Google, Facebook, and Twitter have their algorithmic censorship down pat. &lt;b&gt;Any competition would be required to implement it if Section 230 disappears because manual policing of social media sites is impossible. This enormous cost would eliminate startups in the space,&lt;/b&gt; and make life hell for sites like Odyssey and Rumble, who would be sued into oblivion by the left.&quot;

It&#039;s the usual modus operandi of the Monopolists.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BTW, per Barry&#039;s link, the &quot;Rather interesting development here&quot; contradicts Matt Walsh&#039;s claim about no actual secrets being revealed.
If Haugen&#039;s making the first revelations about the Iran/China espionage, then this bit of political theater (Aggie is totally correct) is a tragedy not a farce.

Cui bono? Or is she for real (even if anti-conservative)?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From the Twitterverse - which definitely IS social media (or maybe social-media, for  Indigo Red&#039;s benefit):
https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1445437916730335234
Matt Walsh: The “Facebook Whistleblower” is one of the most transparent political ploys we’ve seen in a long time. She’s a Democrat operative whose primary beef with Facebook is that they dont censor right wing content enough. She hasnt revealed any actual secrets about the company. A farce.

https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1445438141775683584
Jack Posobiec: Jen Psaki&#039;s PR firm is representing the Facebook whistleblower

Jack Posobiec: Frances Haugen was part of Facebook&#039;s Civil Integrity team in 2020

					<description><![CDATA[Now then, this is starting to take a familiar shape.  A precisely-timed appearance of a passionate whistleblower, before an indulgent committee. The witness is emotional but steadfast.  But to an experienced viewer, it all looks  very much like a staged production.  The witness has &lt;i&gt;too much&lt;/i&gt; support, and it is &lt;i&gt;too professional&lt;/i&gt;.  Every aspect of the production is well-designed.  There is a rehearsed quality to it.  How did all those documents find their way so precisely to the WSJ, how did the witness manage to organize appearing on a TV news magazine, just before testifying to Congress, how did she manage to craft a message, pre-release it, get the word out so slickly?

&lt;b&gt;Does this production remind anybody of Christine Blassey Ford&lt;/b&gt;, just a little bit?  Does the witness look just a little too perfect, a little too rehearsed, perhaps slightly over-coached?  Is she surrounded by experienced DC professionals that she wouldn&#039;t normally be with?  

Are these little dramatic one-act pageant plays in the new Democratic playbook as a winning strategy for getting the Court of Public Opinion lined up, and then hitting the legislators?  Sure looks like it to me.]]></description>
