Today Josh Hawley revealed, via a whistleblower, how Facebook is coordinating the censorship of users with other big tech companies like Google and Twitter. He asked Zuckerberg about this in the hearing, who suddenly got select ‘amnesia’:
Under oath, Zuckerberg admits @Facebook DOES have “tools” to track its users across the internet, across platforms, across accounts – all without user knowledge. I ask how many times this tool has been used domestically against Americans. Zuck won’t say

A @Facebook whistleblower tells me it’s called Centra. Example below. Zuck said he couldn’t recall the name … he’s only the company CEO, after all pic.twitter.com/DLkQ46MiR4

.@Facebook whistleblower tells me FB uses its internal project management system, “Tasks,” to coordinate censorship with @Twitter and @Google. Pic of example Task page below pic.twitter.com/TR2qbFawpl

Whistleblower says @Twitter and @Google routinely suggest censorship topics – hashtags, individuals, websites, many of them conservative – and @Facebook logs them for follow-up on Tasks. But Zuck REFUSES under oath to turn over list of @Twitter or @Google mentions on Tasks

Ever wonder how a user banned or locked on one platform often gets quickly banned or locked on the others? This is how

Zuckerberg, who you’d think would be familiar with a tool like this, had never heard about Centra before today. Now, suddenly, Facebook admits that they are using it:
Mark Zuckerberg under oath to me today: I don’t know, I can’t recall, I don’t remember, I’ll follow up later, let me get back to you
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) November 17, 2020
Zuckerberg refused to answer whether @Facebook ever uses Centra to track and monitor American citizens

Another example of Big Tech coordinating against conservatives, and why section 230 must be repealed or rewritten.
