1. This is absolutely ludicrous. The lengths to which Facebook is going to justify The Daily Wire's obvious violations of their rules is astounding.

Facebook is banking on people not caring but I think people will care.

Let's review.

2. Facebook has a policy against "inauthentic coordinated behavior" I identified 14 large Facebook pages that pretend to be independent but ONLY POST DAILY WIRE CONTENT

AND THEY ALL POST THE SAME DAILY WIRE CONTENT, W/THE SAME TEXT, AT THE EXACT SAME TIME popular.info/p/facebook-all…
3. Facebook is now claiming that these are "real pages" run by "real people." If these pages are real, how is anything on Facebook considered inauthentic?

It's an OBVIOUS a ploy to game the Facebook algorithm and boost Daily Wire content

4. It's also an obvious violation of their policy which prohibits "groups of accounts and Pages working together to mislead people about who they are and what they’re doing"

Networks of liberal pages were taken down in October 2018 for far less

5. I will continue to dig into this story. The stakes are too high. Facebook's decision allows far-right content to flourish -- outperforming virtually everything else. platform.

UPDATE: A heavily-promoted contest to win breakfast with President Trump in New York City on September 26 was a fraud.

The "winner" of the contest did not have breakfast in Trump.

Instead, she was invited to a breakfast that Trump did not attend

popular.info/p/update-trump…
2. The promise of breakfast with Trump was used in hundreds of Facebook ads to entice supporters to donate money.

"I really want to discuss our Campaign Strategy for the rest of the year with you over breakfast," Trump said in a Facebook ad in September

3. The fraud was exposed after an investigation in popular.info questioning whether anyone won campaign contests promising a meal with Trump

UPDATE: The Trump campaign is ADMITTING THE MEAL CONTESTS ARE FRAUDS

It's promoting a Daily Caller story about a woman who won a breakfast w/Trump and Trump NEVER SHOWED UP

(The other "winner" was for a rally in 2017)

Trump has held 15 contests for MEALS.
This is how Trump advertised the breakfast in New York City. His campaign now admits he never showed up to this breakfast.

He is inducing people to donate money based on a false promise. It's fraud.

This story is developing. Sign up for updates ➡️ popular.info
This is the key part of the Daily Caller article where they admit the whole thing was a fraud.

UPDATE: The Trump campaign is promoting a story by THE DAILY CALLER to respond to my story.

They've managed to find two people NEITHER OF WHICH HAD A MEAL WITH THE PRESIDENT

One "won" breakfast with the president AND TRUMP DIDN'T ATTEND
The other person met Trump backstage at a rally in 2017. This was neither the type of contest covered by my report nor in the time period I covered.

Read this Daily Caller article. It is proof this is a scam: dailycaller.com/2019/11/06/tru…
Let's review: The Trump campaign is now admitting they are raising money (probably millions) based on a promise to have a MEAL with Trump. And then TRUMP DOESN'T ACTUALLY SHOW UP

Instead you are in a buffet line with Kimberly Guilfoyle. This is fraud.

#Banking is a business of #trust. With trust gone, the biggest bank will collapse in no time.

This is a true story that happened about 30 years ago. In a village near Faridabad, Govt had acquired some land & paid the farmers in cash. One of them got 10 lacs, which was
1/n
big money at that time. As keeping the money at home was risky, this guy (let's call him "A") came to the town & deposited the entire amount into an FD in a bank.

About a week later, someone ("B") in the village told this A that he (B) had been to the same bank & saw
2/n
the Bank Manager giving out big loans to many people and if they didn't return the loan, the manager may not be able to return his (A's) money also.

The worried A immediately rushed to bank. By the time he reached, it was late evening & bank was closed. He parked himself

All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
