As someone who used to do business with Facebook … hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars of business with Facebook, I can tell you first hand that they are among the most unscrupulous corporations on the face of God’s green Earth.
We are talking about a company who will crush entire industries, not even for their own gain, rather just to see others bleed.
Facebook offered the entire world a ‘platform for all ideas’, however, once they no longer needed conservative content in order to gain data on their ‘users’, Facebook put thousands, if not millions of hard working people, they people who built the Facebook platform for FB out of business.
As if that was not enough, Zuckerberg and his wife spend nearly half a billion dollars to, IMHO, help rig the election against Trump.
Luckily for us down here in Florida we have a Governor who ‘gets it’. DeSantis knows that Big Tech is the #1 threat to freedom on this planet and he is doing more than just complaining about it, he is taking ACTION!
Fox News reported:
‘For at least two Florida counties, the new voting law means losing millions in private grant money bankrolled mostly by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and closing the spigot for more private dollars to fund election administration.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed the bill Thursday that includes provisions such as adding voter ID requirements to absentee voting and limiting ballot harvesting. The law also outright bans private money from being used to pay for local elections.
“No agency or state or local official responsible for conducting elections, including, but not limited to, a supervisor of elections, may solicit, accept, use, or dispose of any donation in the form of money, grants, property, or personal services from an individual or a nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding election-related expenses or voter education, voter outreach, or registration programs,” the legislation read.
The Zuckerberg-financed Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) gave almost $400 million to election jurisdictions across the United States, asserting it was to assist election offices amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Republicans countered the money disproportionately went to turn out the vote in heavily blue areas of the country. The CTCL money went to 49 states across 2,500 jurisdictions for election administration to pay for additional polling places, ballot drop boxes, “voter education” and other matters.
Officials from Palm Beach County – which got $6.8 million in CTCL grants—and Miami-Dade County—which got $2.4 million—told Fox News last week the leftover funds would be used to pay for future elections.
Miami-Dade, which did not get the grant money until Oct. 15, did not spend any of it for the 2020 election.
“We will not use or dispose of any unspent funds now that the law is in effect,” Robert Rodriguez, assistant deputy supervisor of elections for Miami-Dade County, told Fox News after DeSantis signed the bill. “The unspent funds will be returned.”
The money was going to be spent mostly on additional election equipment, Rodriguez said.
The Foundation for Government Accountability, a Florida-based government watchdog, that has researched how the Zuckerberg-funded grants were used, praised the legislation for blocking all private funds going to election administration.’
