Exclusive: Facebook’s Process to Label You a ‘Hate Agent’ Revealed

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.

By: Allum Bokhari, June 24, 2019:

Story continues below advertisement

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.

Breitbart News has already covered some of the individuals that Facebook placed on its list of potential “hate agents.” Paul Joseph Watson eventually was categorized as “hateful” and banned from the platform, in part, according to the document, because he praised Tommy Robinson and interviewed him on his YouTube channel. Star conservative pundit Candace Owens and conservative author and terrorism expert Brigitte Gabriel were also on the list, as were British politicians Carl Benjamin and Anne Marie Waters.

The Benjamin addition reveals that Facebook may categorize you as a hate agent merely for speaking neutrally about individuals and organizations that the social network considers hateful. In the document, Facebook tags Benjamin with a “hate agent” signal for “neutral representation of John Kinsman, member of Proud Boys” on October 21 last year.

Facebook also accuses Benjamin, a classical liberal and critic of identity politics, as “representing the ideology of an ethnostate” for a post in which he calls out an actual advocate of an ethnostate.

In addition to the more unorthodox signals that Facebook uses to determine if its users are “hate agents,” there is also, predictably, “hate speech.” Facebook divides hate speech into three tiers depending on severity and considers attacks on a person’s “immigration status” to be hate speech.

Here’s how “hate speech” — both on and off Facebook — will be categorized by the platform, according to the document:

Individual has made public statements, or statements made in private and later made public, using Tier 1, 2, or 3 hate speech or slurs:

3 instances in one statement or appearance = signal
5 instances in multiple statements or appearances over one month = signal

If you’ve done this within the past two years, Facebook will consider it a hate signal.

Other signals used by Facebook to determine if its users should be designated as hate agents include carrying out violence against people based on their “protected or quasi-protected characteristics,” attacks on places of worship, and conviction of genocide.

That was the attitude I used to take too, but as Ms. Geller has pointed out damn few people come to any counter-jihad websites relative to those who go to Fascistbook so Fascistbook controls the narrative about islum and many other things (e.g. Trump).

These disgusting hard leftists will keep going with their provocations, slanders and far left censorship until people get SO fed up with them that they take the law into their own hands and burn the place down or duff up staff because what do we have to lose ?

People who speak to the problems in society brought upon the guilty and innocent alike are being banned right now for telling the truth in moderate terms and even THAT is “hate speech”. It’s clear that even if a person has a genuine reason for views some find strong, no effort is made to investigate.

Well here’s “hate speech” Mr Sugerburg, keep it up my son and you may find oneday just how “offensive” a bunch of fives can be.

It will jolly well serve you right too.

That Zucker Frog’s name may have been invented by one of his ancestors. Around the times of Maria Theresia the Jewish citizens with traditional Jewish names (like Samuel Ben Simson or so) in some regions of the Austo-Hungarian Empire were forced to get “normal” names to be identified and taxed easier by the mostly antisemite authorities. They were free to chose, but of course the corrupt clerks needed to get bribed to release a “nice” name – like ZUCKERBERG (mountain of sugar) which must have been pretty expensive. The poor ones weren’t that lucky – names like Knoblauch (garlic), Eierstock (Ovar), Kanalgeruch (Channel Odor) were not uncommon…
Regarding his merits the todays porter of “Zuckerberg” should wear the name “SHITEMOUNT”

FB is soon to be in a death spiral from which it will be difficult to recover. They have announced the hiring of over 10,000 monitors to police content on their 2.3 billion users. Well, if they pay them, say, an average of $20K a year that’s $200 million and certainly affordable.I can imagine who they are hiring. I really do not know too many rational people, conservative or not, who want to pursue a career as a censor, but I suspect it would be a great career choice for one of a leftist, communist, dependent orientation, especially the product pouring out to the LibTard schools in California and throughout the world. These People wouldn’t know true hate speech if it spits in their face. They only know what disturbs them and that could be anything imaginable. This is going to create a huge problem and led to the breakup FB as competitors spring up to challenge their market dominance. Soon there will be a CNN version, Fox News version, Rush Limbaugh versions, Guardian version, and so on. The landscape will rapidly change and anyone with a few shares of FB is best advised to sell now before they are eaten alive by the market.

Ironically, the most significant, protracted hate agents are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others akin to their hatred of those diverse of their hate-filled, Leftist agenda. The world, as mentioned already, would be better off without the above mentioned.

The very BEST way to rid a society of blight is to get rid of them legally:
— BOYCOTT
— SHUN ANYONE WHO IS ON FB

Take away their livelihood of evil and they will be destroyed. AND, if they are REALLY EVIL, like Hitler was, then other actions need to be taken. When people continue to SUPPORT fascism, socialism, and communism, whether it be people or businesses, you give them more power. TAKE THAT POWER AWAY FROM THEM.

FB can be destroyed by NOT using FB, by deleting your account.

IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE.

STAY OFF FACEBOOK. The more people who do and FB sees the drop in users, they will change their policies OR they will be destroyed. YOU, AN AMERICAN, HAVE MORE POWER IN YOUR 2 PINKIES THAN FB WILL EVER HAVE, but it must be done in NUMBERS. The more people who say NO to FB, the more things will change for the better.

I have NEVER had a FB account, probably because I was an I.T. Administrator/Specialist and KNOW the ins and outs of privacy on the Internet. Never use GOOGLE. Never use Twitter or Facebook. There ARE ALTERNATIVES. Tell your family and friends you are leaving social media or have to go to GAB.ai for Twitter and search for other alternatives to FB and Instagram. And NEVER tell anyone online which ones you use. Always use DuckDuckGo for your search engine (no tracking) and do your homework on making your online experience SECURE.

I once met a woman married to Jew. She told me that after WW2, many Jews became agnostics and some of these took the same attitude that Soros has. That is- ” As we have become victims of humans , let us now give humans the same treatment.”.So we are noe seeing these agnostics become dictators to destroy humanity. May God have mercy on us all.

I am NOT on ANY social media – NONE WHATSOEVER, so they can try and tag me all they want. I am behind the best VPN and TOR firewalls, and being a retired I.T. Administrator, I can tell you that even Govt agencies, who at one time tried to recruit me, will not get through! And, THIS is exactly what people need to do these days if they want to remain anonymous:

1. Open a browser.

2. Load TOR

3. Load a VPN (I use 3: PIA, NORD, PureVPN), switching between the three OFTEN AND sometimes I use all 3 at the same time.

And, I never stay on any one site for very long. That is what the NSA expects you to do and people do this all the time, thinking they are SAFE. There are other things to ‘hide’, but these are the basic ways.

Also, you ISP can track you by injecting specialized COOKIES. Most people do not realize that this happens because they sign a doc with an ISP while NOT reading it. Verizon creates ‘perma-cookies’ into your network traffic. This privacy-unfriendly move could see Verizon subscribers’ browsing activity accurately tracked across the Internet by third parties. Nothing you can do about it. REMEMBER, you signed that agreement when you sign up with Verizon. There are other things that ISP do as well, but I think you know that the average American IS NOT AS CLEVER AS THEY THINK THEY ARE.

Another thing is your DNS. CHANGE IT IN YOUR ROUTER or IN YOUR IP4 TO A MORE SECURE DNS (there are 2, one for IP4 and one for IP6, which is to come). Search for SECURE or PRIVATE DNS. AND NEVER USE GOOGLE FOR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN IN SEARCHING. Use DuckDuckGo and/or StartPage for your search engines.

Check out Mumblit. I recently discovered it. I keep sharing it on FB hoping to get conservatives to go over there so we can get it big enough to crap on fb. It looks quite similar without censorship. Haven’t dug into it a ton yet, but sure would like to leave fb. Need to bring all conservatives to a new site and leave those left wing devil worshipping clowns in the dust.

68% of the FB shareholders voted to remove Zucky from running FB! On a June 7, 2019 Sharreholder meating shareholders’s voted overwhemlinly to retire Zucky from running FB. They demanded FB respect free speech, but their votes counted for nothing. Here’s the story. Follow thelink for further information. 68% Of Facebook Investors Vote To Oust Mark Zuckerberg

Majority of Facebook investors sought the removal of founder CEO Mark Zuckerberg from the company’s chairman rolle.

The demand received 68 percent vote at the last shareholder meeting. They are seeking an independent director to adorn the chairman’s position.

This was evident in the details of voting trends at the recent annual meeting of Facebook released Monday. The votes had an upsurge of 17 percent over last year’s 51 percent.

But the move was shot down by Zuckerberg and a group of insiders using their leviathan 58 percent voting power coming from the special class shares owned by Zuckerberg.

(1) This is nothing more than FB enacting the same ” Social Credit” scheme China has to completely silence and marginalize ( and eventuall k i ll) those who criticize Communism/Socialism.

(2) “Designated Hateful Ideology” … = …. isam. Is it labelled correctly yet and banned ?

(3) “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.”

This one is easy …….. they mean Every Gun owner in America.

According to Lexico – the online version of the Oxford English dictionary the term ‘okay’ has a number of origins, but likely became popular during the 1840 election cycle when Democrats formed the OK club in honor of their candidate – Martin van Buren who was known as ‘Old Kinderhook’ …

The story is probably not true, but I like it anyway since it puts the blame for the expression on the Democrats.

Have a great week Mike!!
