Top Secret MKULTRA alive and well.
Only this time the drugs are also brought to you by cute little
companies in the form of phones and apps.
The mind, such a terrible thing to let go to waste ;)

Public ... Unlike their little emoticon Emotional Engineering experiment
where they failed to get one single informed consent from 700,000 users.
Ethics schmethics! Markets are waiting, and the product is you...

Too much all under one roof, too left, definitely into censorship,
outright creepy datamining and psychosocial testing and engineering
(search youtube for facebook talking heads on this crap), shaping
and pushing their narrative down upon userbase, with some say
insecure Zuckerberg seeking validation. Above and beyond the billions
already made exploiting you 'for free'.

Would hundreds of millions of candy crush playing idiots all rising
up at once on command feel like a "safe space" to you?

Facebook is a closed corporation and said to have TOP SECRET government
involvement, the same for Zuckerberg. Trust?

If you want to enter politics and vie for good on your own and
solicit followers, great, go for it. But don't go engineering your
captive users into it as your own private army.

Good that Zuck and Chan sortof spent his wad on medical disease
reserch, but only if it's free for all opensourced and free of
patent royalty copyright license fee, goes on to foster same, etc.

Facebook did opensource some datacenter things, but that's negligible.

Trap? Huge.
At least this time it was announced in public.
Who will listen?
You decide.

Point being he's a "malignant narcissist like Donald Trump, with a touch
of megalomania. But perhaps I'm wrong about DT AND Zucchini.. Another
psychiatrist recently pointed out Donald Trump doesn't exhibit the
'distressed behavior' of a narcissist, and although that pill-pusher
didn't make a diagnosis (just debunked the "malignant narcissist"
label), he amply supports my hypothesis that Trump is a full-on
Psychopath. So is Zucchini boy. He LIKES to break things.

It's as easy as ABC to diagnose.

No Anxiety
No Bonds
No Conscience


They infest the computer industry.

A sprawling new manifesto by Zuckerberg, published to Facebook
on Thursday, should set off new alarm bells for journalists,
and heighten news organizations' sense of urgency about how
they--and their industry--can survive in a Facebook-dominated
world.

​F​
acebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has just published a 5,700
word "letter" on his profile, where he asserts that Facebook
represents one of history's "great leaps." Though he covers a
number of topics, what's most interesting is how he positions
Facebook as a force for political change in the coming years.
His goals are lofty, sometimes even grandiose.  That's not the
problem.  The problem is a fundamental contradiction built
into the way he hopes to create what he calls a "global
community" by essentially gerrymandering the Internet.
