A few days ago I wrote about what you all already knew, that the new Facebook news feed format is nothing but a means to control and censure the message and content on facebook, Facebook’s New Censorship
Now they are taking it a step further by collecting data on posters and trying to intimidate them from posting on Facebook.
To that end the new Obama page, this one here Obama Intimidation Page run by Obama for America, collects and posts all Facebook updates that contain the word Obama.

My guess is that this is an attempt by the Obamunists to cover their tracks and preempt a scandal.
I tested it and it’s true. I the first pic you see the post I made on my profile page ( circled in red) and in the second picture you see the post appearing on the Obama Friend Activity Page. No I am no friend of Obama I am not a facebook Friend of Obama and I certainly never “liked” this page on Facebook so the posting showing up on Obama’s page is done for one reason and one reason only, to show posters that Obama is collecting the information, storing it for possible and probable retaliation and to intimidate us from posting!
Welcome to the Facebook mental Gulag!
So here are your choices; First you can keep your posts public and Obama will collect them for your own good. Second you can make them private but then your friends won’t get to see them because now the Zuckerberg algorithm decides what you and your friends see.
What possible reason can a pro Obama propaganda page have to post updates unfavorable to Obama ? Well, just like the Obama Attack Watch web page this one too is used to intimidate Facebook users from sharing Obama updates. That’s all there is to it nothing else.

Yes I know there are sites out there that do the same thing but the question is not about the technology of the site, the question is WHY WOULD OBAMA WANT TO POST ON HIS Facebook CAMPAIGN PAGE POSTS FROM PEOPLE THAT OPPOSE HIS POLICIES? Do you think he’s looking for hints to change his agenda?
My guess is that this is an attempt by the Obamunists to cove their tracks and preempt a scandal. They are already collecting all this data and they are afraid of being discovered. So to diffuse that they just decided to make it public on their own..just like the Birth Certificate.
This is the kind of administration you want for the next 4 years? What do you think the Obamunists will do to us if we actually give them another 4 years?
Picture one shows the update I posted on my profile
Picture two shows my profile post showing up on Obama’s page in the black circle just seconds after it was posted.

Facebook is doing this for search engine optimization reasons, so that people looking for things related to a phrase can be easily found. It is not nefarious, it is just a great way of organizing information and creating a Twitter like concept on facebook.
There is always plausible denaiability
I deleted my Facebook account just a moment ago. It is not that I was intimidated – I am just mad as hell!
If you monitor :
Unified Militia Communications Network
on Facebook, you will see the appearance of a supposed black male named Sonny Black making posts. The strangeness here is that you must be a member to post on this site and Mr. Black isn’t. Further, all of his posts are inflammatory. I can post you some if you wish. Clearly this ‘person’ is a provocateur. Whether I should call him a ‘Cointel provocateur’ is a matter of opinion, but I have little doubt he represents liberal interests, and HOW is he posting as a non-member unless he is hard at work for some agency or Zuckerberg directly ?
I did not see anything proving that Obama posted this ! Anyone can get his photo & post what they want folks to hear !
Paranoia is really pathetic. Your problem on this issue is NOT with Obama or his “intimidation page”…….it is with Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook’s never ending quest to put all of their users information in places they did not want it. Just wait ’til the “Timeline ” feature rolls out on the 30th…….you’re REALLY going to lose your $h*t. Facebook will be announcing every computer move you make.

I am so outraged by this invasion. I too am incorporated into his 23+ million so called friends. My FB has changed dramatically over the past 2 weeks. I never get FB E-mails; before I would get about 20+ per day. If I make a comment to somebody’s write-up, followed by other comments I never see those comments. I’m not able to write on my wall! What is going on here!!
I pretty much just read other people’s comments and if I respond, that’s the end of it. I sent a note to Judge Napolitano about this invasion of our privacy ~ we’ll see what happens. I really feel violated. This guy Zuckerberg is really an evil SOB and has his nose up Obama’s butt.
obumma, “know me well as a man that despises every thing you say and do!” “Your are the Absolute Worst President that America has ever had !”
I’ve noticed that it shows me what those on my Friends list post. So I gathered that each person visiting will only see the posts about Obama that are from those on their Friends list??!!
not only on OBAMA’s fb page but if you say the word MUSLIM, it goes to CAIR’s fb page……check it out….I did, and like this author, I am NOT a “friend” of Odumbo’s or CAIR’s!!!
The “Big Brother” issue will be present ANYWHERE you go on the internet — it’s just a fact of life in our times… FB’s policies are just open enough that we know about them — I’m more comfortable with that than NOT knowing what quieter networks are releasing… We have the responsibility to post what we want to have “public” — I have nothing to hide, from expressions of my faith to abhorrence of a corrupt government… NO point walking in paranoia / fear !
Thanks for spreading the word. I tested it as well!
You can not even block the page, like you can other pages!
Many many qiuatly points there.
