Frances Haugen, the supposed Facebook whistleblower, slipped up in her 60 minutes interview and revealed that she works for US intelligence. The effort she was employed to advance is acceptance of more censorship of Meta and the like. Conspicuously absent from the publicly promoted discussion was any mention of the free alternatives such as the fediverse. 'The Social Dilemma' movie had similar objectives and narrative framing.

I anticipate that self-hosters, linux users, and people who are not Facebooked will be further castigated as radicals and worse in the future.

Also note the irony that Substack contains Google and Amazon trackers.

that story was such a big deal half a year ago to vanishing completely from people's attention

It left something in their memories that we need to fix Facebook with more censorship. Now the reason is to protect us from Russian misinformation.

It was somewhere in the interview where she mentioned about how careful she was at copying FB files because of her previous experience working in intelligence. I am sorry I don't feel like listening to the whole thing again to give you the specific time marker. https://youtu.be/_Lx5VmAdZSI

>... previous experience working in intelligence

Previous? But just moments ago you said...

>... she works for US intelligence.

And even still, the comment you reference is pretty innocuous if you have actual context. She has publicly stated that she worked alongside intelligence assets at a "threat intelligence unit" at Facebook[1].

Of course I cannot prove that she still works with intelligence. The funding and direction of such assets is understably obscured. My statement is merely logical conclusion that you can choose to agree with or not.

[stjohnswarts]

logical possibility? Sure. Logic conclusion, I don't think so.

I see you would be open to my information about how the lizard people run the world. Of course I cannot prove it but my statement is merely a logical conclusion.

You just need to put on the special glasses right? They Live is a great movie. "I came here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of chewing gum." is one of my favorite lines from it.

She disappeared pretty damn quickly huh?
