I was speaking with my neighbors son today who works at FB and I asked him about the tech issues/censorship and he told me that "CA residents have much more to worry about than tech censorship since there are foreign entities that have all the data from the industry".
I asked what he meant specifically and he said that "rogue employees have regularly been discovered to be selling data to foreign countries despite the working agreement and that they just come in with flip drive and leave with it and there is no safeguards to stop it".
Take that as you will since I can't verify it of course but several of us have discussed this in the past. Another odd thing to me was that I asked about keywords that Facebook zeroes in on and he named a few but one that really caught my attention was the key phrases "running for office", "running campaign", and many other combinations. When I asked why he said that Facebook targets any local, state, or whatever campaign and then they sell ALL the data of the user (again from a "rogue" employee" - this is their plausible deniability in my opinion) to a "third party".
Finally I asked about the recent odd media stories and he immediately cut me off and said "yes, again, "rogue employees" have been scouring private data and then sending it directly to the media and specific politicians". That makes a lot of sense to me considering it happened to military members, cops and then border patrol in back to back to back weeks.
Again, cannot verify this but if true this is a big deal.
