Allum Bokhari at Breitbart has this scary report:
Facebook monitors the offline
behavior of its users to determine if they should be categorized as a “Hate
Agent,” according to a document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a
source within the social media giant.
The document, titled “Hate Agent
Policy Review” outlines a series of “signals” that Facebook uses to determine
if someone ought to be categorized as a “hate agent” and banned from the
platform.
Those signals include a wide range
of on- and off-platform behavior. If you praise the wrong individual, interview
them, or appear at events alongside them, Facebook may categorize you as a
“hate agent.”
Facebook may also categorize you as
a hate agent if you self-identify with or advocate for a “Designated Hateful Ideology,”
if you associate with a “Designated Hate Entity” (one of the examples cited by
Facebook as a “hate entity” includes Islam critic Tommy Robinson), or if you
have “tattoos of hate symbols or hate slogans.” (The document cites no examples
of these, but the media and “anti-racism” advocacy groups increasingly label
innocuous items as “hate symbols,” including a cartoon frog and the “OK” hand sign.)
Facebook will also categorize you
as a hate agent for possession of “hate paraphernalia,” although the document
provides no examples of what falls into this category.
The document also says Facebook
will categorize you as a hate agent for “statements made in private but later
made public.” Of course, Facebook holds vast amounts of information on what you
say in public and in private — and as we saw with the Daily
Beast doxing story, the platform will publicize private
information on their users to assist the media in hitjobs on regular American
citizens.
