Not only has Mark Zuckerberg instituted the same speech restrictions on the general public that totalitarians have imposed in the past, he has installed the same terrifying techniques with Facebook employees.
Mark Zuckerberg reportedly deploys ‘secret police’ to catch leakers at Facebook
- An unnamed employee said he was called into a meeting last year under the guise of a promotion and found himself in front of Facebook’s investigative team armed with proof he’d been leaking to the press.
- The investigative team had records of screenshots the employee had taken and links he had visited or even just hovered over.
Sara Salinas | CNBC:Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg deploy a “secret police” to catch leakers in the company, The Guardian reported Friday, citing a person who worked there.
The unnamed employee said he was called into a meeting last year under the guise of a promotion and found himself in front of Facebook’s investigative team armed with proof he’d been leaking to the press.

But you get on their bad side and all of a sudden you are face to face with [Facebook CEO] Mark Zuckerberg’s secret police.”
The investigative team, headed by Sonya Ahuja — confirmed by her LinkedIn profile — had records of screenshots the employee had taken and links he had visited or even just hovered over.The investigators also indicated they had records of chats between the employee and a journalist.
“When you first get to Facebook you are shocked at the level of transparency. You are trusted with a lot of stuff you don’t need access to,” the employee told The Guardian. “The counterbalance to giving you this huge trusting environment is if anyone steps out of line, they’ll squash you like a bug.”
Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC, but a company spokesperson told The Guardian, “Companies routinely use business records in workplace investigations, and we are no exception.”

The fourth reich is alive and well in the form of face book. Why are people so gullible as to allow a private police state to observe then control their lives?
Because it’s free! Sorta…
Allow me to explain a simple fact of business, “There is no free lunch” if you are getting something for free, it is because you are selling yourself for “free stuff” who’s owners then take and make you a marketable commodity.
You mean it’s NOT free!? 😉
Yes Virginia, there is a fine print clause that allows face book to own you.
Thankfully I never felt the need to post pictures of my meals or dogs and so never joined…
LOL thats the thing that struck me about it, how boring it is.
I never understood why people needed to tell those they didn’t know all bout themselves….and what they do…where they go….who they know. It reminds me of the topic of sex…and voting ..It is nobody else’s business. . . . why make it public?
Perhaps a hybrid of the most scary sentence in the world, “I’m from Google/Facebook/YouTube/the government and I’m here to help…
Its dangerous to allow facebook to get away with their pro-jihadi anti-conservative censorship.
This is how you end up handing over country to Left/liberal and jihadis

Kinda like getting a ‘free’ flu shot. Somebody pays.
What’s wrong with Jeff Sessions?
These are fascist monopolies that need to be broken up and charged with infringing on free speech. Sessions really frustrates me… Any news on McCabe? Will the criminal be able to retire with a fat pension?
I am with you regarding Sessions, Felix.
Yes, he was fired last night….at least Sessions showed some backbone there…but then again….if he had not fired him he would have been suspect as part of that cabal…..
Unfortunately, lw, that McCabe was fired will not cut off his pension, just postpone it ’til he’s 57yo (just turned 50). Unless more charges are brought against him his pension won’t be touched. Again, pension simply delayed
I was going to write much the same, Mahou, you saved me from prattling. He has created his personal Gestapo which is ironic. People, sheeple, are gullible, stupid and will bow to any self-anointed deity who created Facebook in his own image. A billionaire, an oligarch using his Daddy Big-Bucks power to subjugate his underlings. Unfortunately, Mark is not an anomaly but the norm in the billion dollar, digital world of deceptiveness and despotism.
Like the monk said to the Tsar when asked for a statement that was alway true, “And this too shall pass”.
Only with God’s grace and our constant vigile to stop it….
What is ironic is Zuckie is a self-hating Jew…..and like in Hitler’s time…there were plenty of those who helped Hitler wipe out 6 million of their people….which puts him in the same category as George Soros….born a Hungarian Jew who hated his people. Changed his name and joined Hitler’s camp to tell the Nazis where the Jews were hiding and where their valuables were.
The Nazis would go in, take the wealth and march the Jews off to death camps….and Soros was handsomely rewarded…which became the basis for his wealth that he now uses to force “nazi-like” standards on everyone else.
To this day I still don’t understand how he got a dual citizenship with Hungary and the US…..and even more confused that he is allowed to keep his US papers due to him financing all the violence and sedition in America…and around the globe. Four countries have banned him and there is an arrest warrant out for him in Russia.
Zuckie has no shame and no sense of humanity. Prior to the alleged “Arab Spring” orchestrated by Killary and the Muslim Marxist Obama…Zuckie went there and put up cell phone towers so the “spontaneous” uprising of the people could coordinate their phony “spontaneous” uprising.
He also was involved with Obama in the meddling in the Israeli Prime Minister election trying to force out Bibi….$400,000 US dollars were used against BB by Obama minions who were there trying to stop Bibi…..
Over time these little facts have been forgotten and lost…. people need to remember them….forewarned is forearmed…..
FB is like cancer…..once it gets in…it travels all of the body…..just like FB does in our lives….
Wow! A terrific read and bang-on, ladywarrior. ‘Zuckie’ (I love it) is all you say and more. If there is one species of rat I loathe, it is self-hating Jew. Soros, I just pulled over my spittoon. Gross but not as gross or gauche as Soros and his tag-along comrades.
Thank G-d for Bibi; the leftists and other self-hating Jews are doing their utmost to usurp the only man with the chutzpah to take on the Islam scourge and would come out the victor. FB and others of the so-called social media are subversives whose bent is to burrow into the shallow, vacuous minds of the West, as said, cancer-like.
Why the evildoers , Obama, Hillary, Soros, Zuckie and a myriad of others are not indicted for treason is speaks for itself. The inner-workings of the government and its agencies are rife with traitors. Progressives/Democrats deem sedition as noble; witnessing the dismantling of Democratic rights throughout the EU, the UK, Canada and other nations should cause pause to the FB etc. disciples in America. Unfortunately, they are the fawning, vacuous drones of the leftist progressive pandemic. Take care.
Thanks, Ziggy….I try to keep this information germane to everything that is going on today….lest we forget. I was getting whiplash during the Obama years so much was happening at a breathtaking speed…all of it bad for America.
I’ve probably forgotten more than I knew….but ALL of us have to keep reminding the young people….assuming they even listen to us anymore.
“There is no fate, but what we make.” Conor-Terminator”
“I’ve probably forgotten more than I knew….but ALL of us have to keep
reminding the young people….assuming they even listen to us anymore.”
I can relate, ladywarrior; one of my grand kids, 9 years old, asked me why I liked Trump. Being one to jabber incessantly, I had to work at editing my reply: for you, your sister, your generation and hopefully subsequent generations. I was never asked again. Knowing their mother watches The View which pretty much concludes my suspicions and fears.
EP’s post below states, the need to deprogram our children from FB et al, I couldn’t agree more. It is a benefit being old, having senior moments can be a blessing. Dang it, Obama, Hillary, and Soros are creepy-crawlers a recurring nightmare that is in truth a reality.
I can’t stand him, his ponem, (ugly face)…nothing in that Mammon worshipper.
This evil individual is a J.I.N.O., a Jew in name only. You are very right, FB is like cancer or any deadly disease that destroys mainly brain cells.
Parents should do their utmost to deprogram their FB addicted kids and also get a deprogramming therapy for themselves too.
You may want to revise your Soros lore. He was 15 years old when the war ended and was not nearly as important as you make him out to be. He assisted, in a small way, a Nazi who was tasked with snatching belongings from the property of Jews who had already been “disposed of”. I agree with your summation of his character, for sure.
Yes, you are correct he was 15 years old…..but he -like most teenagers during the Hitler years – was more mature than kids the same age today….And it is not “lore”…..some Polish friends of mine have a complete history on the Hungarian Jew and his exploits with the Nazis….I he did not “assist in a small way”….he was their point guy.
He is evil personified.
THOUGHT CRIME IS A SERIOUS CRIME
And if you think that is fiction, welcome to Facebook
“The fouth reich is alive and well in the form of face book.” Yeah, and it’s run by an anti-American jew.
this mamzer (i.e. bastard, hijo de puta) is a J.I.N.O, a Jew in name only. I wish him a deadly illness no money in the world can cure.
got it. Thanks.
Whaaat! Why would you mention jew in this rant? What an awfull indictment.
Because Zuckie is a self-hating Jew…..just like George Soros…and they both use their wealth to destroy Jews and Christians….globally.
And that was hardly a “rant”.
Zuck knows that he has a serious need to stop leaks because he has so much he needs to hide, otherwise if it was anything like what is advertised, no problem. Regarding FB’s popularity, purposeless people feel so insignificant that they are desperate for any kind of attention and approval from any anonymous source, and since they will sell their soul for such attention, giving up their privacy seems a small price to pay..When it first started, i signed up with my name and got many offers to be my “friend”, and I suspiciously wondered…. WHY?
I never use facebook yet I get nitifications daily that someone wants to be my friend or LinkedIn wants me etc.
Me to….I just delete them and keep going…..which probably puts me in some alert file of Zuckie….
You understand my remark exactly, and i get the same from Link..Why does someone we don’t even know want to be our friend, or contact. I frequently wonder if my 3 friends are too many. They either want something from us or they are desperately needy.
You are absolutely right.
I was told “Gab” was a better site, not giving out information and such. I started to sign up for it and changed my mind….never got to the part about a sign in name or password, but I get little things on my e-mail telling me that so and so has followed me and wants to “be my friend”. They all lie.
I hear that Gab is more open to free speech but didn’t get past the invite to join either. Friend? What do you want??
I decided I was happy with out social media so I didn’t finish….I don’t need social media to complete my life.
When it comes to getting something done, to quote Yoda “Either do or do not do” there is no “try”.
Three times after stabbing themselves in the back and taking a poison pill.
I refuse to support/use fakebook. Its about a big a pile of sh1t as its founder. Haaahaaar all that money and hes still as ugly as sin
No iron will is needed to stay off Fakebook.
Twice.
It’s management’s right. The employee probably was visiting websites on a company computer to be caught like this. But what Facebook should do is block those sights.
And shouldn’t the employees be working at the office?
Hard to use proper optics, when they “block those sights”.
This ‘idiot’ eliest needs to be told to go screw himself………..we got enough ‘stupid social justice warriors’ without him blowing his mouth off. And while at it, take his precious ‘facebook’ with him.
Don’t count on it……until there is a messaging system that cannot be “monitored” ….there will always be a Schmuckerberg……
Check out Tommy Robinson’s speech at Speaker’s Corner in London:
Fascist Book … is more than just a sarcastic label.
A bit more than I saw (with my magic Space Alien glasses) … but not surprising at all. The ‘tech’ level revealed in this article is nearly twenty years old – so I’m sure there’s more.
I like that label. It suits the situation.
Where is Jeff Sessions on this?
Our freedom of speech is in peril.
Facebook, Google and Twitter need to be broken up.
They are too controlling – consider the anti Sherman Trust Act.
Gee, FB employing underhanded techniques in their quest for total control, both in and outside the company. What a surprise. This is only going to get worse. So, why the fascination for the everyday person to get on FB and give every detail of their lives to not only the world but, to FB.
Mark *uckerberg weaponizing social media.
Google is evil. The good news is quota systems, obsession with gender will destroy any vitality left in this company as real talent is replaced by identity politics.People don’t like to be made into serfs with a race based gestapo. They will go as well. He will be left with the chaff of his own policies destroying any innovation. My Space here we come. Hello AOL. They went SJW too.
I wish Peter Thiel would come up with a messaging system that can’t be spied on or monitored…..I want my privacy back 🙁
Ahhhhhh…the new NAZI police. Why anyone would want to be on Facistbook is beyond me. I quit that worthless social network site long ago and don’t miss it. I hated the fact that NSA monitors the site; its bad enough that NSA reads all our emails, texts and listens in on our cell phone calls, I saw no need in letting them read what I was posting on that pos site.
Why do they have to use the “guise of a promotion”? Who wants to work for a SNEAKY company?? Come to think about it, Isn’t that what FARTBOOK specializes in, anyway?
Creating FACETARDS???
I’m not on facebook thank God.
No reason to be on Fakebook.
What true, freedom loving American is still on Facebook? I saw the danger in FB when it first came out. Same with My Space…the forerunner of Facebook.
If you read George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty Four” you know that FB is the beginning of the take over of people’s lives…..and then control them.
Of course, it does no good to prefer to call friends and family instead of posting on a public forum because we now know that Clapper and Brennan were taping every single call we made…..and I suspect it is still being done…..which was also in “1984”.
If someone is still on Fakebook, they are part of the problem.
I know people who have their kids’ photos on Fakebook…the photos are geotagged.
Might as well say to kidnappers, “come steal my children.”
Trouble is, most people probably have not read “1984.”
When I was in college it was a staple for sociology classes…..now I doubt there is even a copy in the universities libraries……
Trump needs to break the monopoly like they did with Shell oil company and AT&T, asap!
This person is pure evil.
Now, if only their so-called “Counter-Terror” squads were as “efficient” as their internal “police.” After all, Islamic Jihadis run rampant throughout FB, and with none the wiser – or so it would seem.
Anyway, there is so much more to FB than most know, much of which can be found at “BANNED: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad.” Scary sh*t….

Where are our Republican legislators? Asleep soundly, as usual. Worthless.
You are mistaken. The government regulates private business to ensure the general welfare. FB is definitely an effective monopoly or trust, and the government has over one hundred years of anti-trust regulation. They are also discriminating against Americans, and the Government has established anti discriminatory regulations. It also appears they have preyed on the privacy rights of American citizens and their employees. They are also colluding with foreign nations in order to suppress basic rights of men, recognized in the US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Etc. Etc. Being a private entity does not give them carte blanche to trample on our rights and they are using the internet, which is essentially a network under the supervision of the FCC. Why are you promoting false information?
Well :-)there used to be an agency that made sure people weren’t discriminated Against in the US .
Facebook has hired thousands or hundreds of
Anti American , Anti Free Speech foreigners and snowflake liberals.
He also gives Million to aide illegals.
He could be charged any day with aide and harboring illegals which is– Against Our LAWS in the USA.
Maybe He should have hired Lawyers instead of Imported hundreds of foreigners to spy
on Facebook employees and Users…:-)
