I don’t have any insider knowledge of this horror, but I can say that this is the sort of person that corrosive disinformation is designed for and that’s why psychographics are so powerful, because it’s possible to microtarget demographics based on many, many different criteria
This is the single most important thing I can emphasize, and I'm very sorry if it is a shitty time to do so. @Facebook has been collecting data on you and everyone you know. They know to a spooky extent who you are, what scares you, what makes you angry, what triggers you, and
who is hanging on by a thread in every aspect of their lives. They have psychological data on the types of isolated, impoverished who are so close to the brink that they have no hope left, and they flood them with violent imagery and corrosive imagery to be sure to push them in
a certain direction when they finally do go over the edge. They warn them to buy guns and to single out people a certain way, and they're doing it using a combination of very powerful priming and dark ads. And here's the thing: IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY HAVE FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS.
They have this data on you anyway, if you've ever been mentioned by anyone who has a Facebook account. And these people are being pushed into stochastic acts of terrorism, knowingly and willingly, to bring about specific political outcomes at the behest of specific groups.
It is what I want the world to know and it is why I went to the press about it, knowing full well that it might be the end of my career -- or worse. It still might be. Big Tech has the data; they know all of this. And it is not just Facebook.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/13/they-dont-care-facebook-fact-checking-in-disarray-as-journalists-push-to-cut-ties …
The way social media has leached into just about every aspect of our everyday lives is being used to prune and distort everything via algorithm. It is warping our perceptions of the world in every aspect even if you are not logged in to any platform.

The people funding this sort of psychological fuckery will profit handsomely from having citizens in any country too scared to assemble or speak out or vote or go talk to their friends, and instead get their information online, always freshly reorganized via algorithm
Also: Who has ownership stakes in big social media platforms? Some of it is public knowledge.https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/russia-funded-facebook-twitter-investments-kushner-investor …
Kinda seems like @Facebook really doesn't have much of a problem with politics after all, as long as it's the politics that's paying.
But everyone forgot. We've been firehosed into forgetting. This, too, is intentional.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/world/yuri-milner-facebook-twitter-russia.html …
This is the most important takeaway: Stochastic terrorism is happening more frequently as a direct result of corrosive propaganda and disinformation, and it is being done intentionally to people psychologically targeted as vulnerable to bring about desired political outcomes.
Those who built and enabled this need to be held publicly accountable.

This isn't especially user-friendly on my laptop but if you maneuver to the November 26th show, about 4 minutes in, he details how psychological data works on people.https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-4-bc-today …
