Facebok has toxic.
In recent days, the form of social media plats has been affected by an avalanche of illegal duplicate pages of users in the Philippines.
The timing is suspicious. This happened sometime after The Filipinos turned to Facebok and Twitter to verify the anti-terrorism bill pending President Duterte’s signature. Online controls and complaints were followed through student demonstrations at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliguy and Cebu, which advocate that the bill be codified, which other Americans say threatens freedom of expression and restricts huguy rights.
Apple Mabig Facebok users, adding this writer, have posted evidence of fake accounts carrying their call on their pages. They had a common feature: there were no photos or pre-recording messages on duplicate pages.
According to an Inquirer report, this was a concerted attack, which evidently showed that it was aimed at thousands of students, professors and alumni, De La Salle University, whose design facade is adorned with two gigantic Philippine flags and, below them. , a black canvas with the message “Defend democracy”. #JunkTerrorBillNow. “
The University of San Carlos and San José Recoletos, either in Cebu, have also reported times among their academics and professors.
Who’s the attack?
“Whoever they are, it’s never an individual or a small organization of people,” says Athalia Freya Dy, an online marketer. “Facebok says he has the generation to stumble upon a record wave and proactively shuts down fake accounts. For the most part, we know this is true.
“But those other Americans were able to create that account bureaucracy in a very short time. This comes from organizations with more software and technologies than Facebok, or Facebok has made it possible.”
The moment, Dy tells Lifestyle, it could well be related to the anti-terrorism bill, in the 2022 national elections. “You won’t be surprised if someone started campaigning early. In fact, I have the impression that they are just accounts”resbak”, fake accounts that are loaded to the diversity of actions and pro-director personalities like Mocha Uson”.
Dy was a victim of the modus operandi, had expected attempts to invade the privacy of his Facebok account.
“I was always paranoid about security, so when I made a direct decision to talk more about what was happening on social media, I used my Call in Chinese for my recording and to increase my privacy settings,” he says. “Paint because when the recent series of fake accounts arrived, I was one of the lucky ones who had no duplicates.
She used a site, https://doppelbanger.now.sh/, to duplicate her name in English. “There were more than 100. Some are just namesakes, the big apple was empty,” she says.
He then informed Facebook, which removed the empty duplicates, but not those containing recorded images.
“One of them had 8 friends, there were still no publications and propaganda and stocks of the Mocha Uson blog. Apparently, Facebok didn’t think it was a fake account,” Dy says.
The president of a h8-point university and school said his Facebok page had also been a victim: “I reviewed it sometime after learning of duplicates, but there were few. I was surprised it went off at about 20 after a noon or two. I reported forgeries to Facebok, but it’s tedious to report 20. So I posted them on my page in case those accounts come out and pretend to me and warn others.”
A writer and editor of a country-wide newspaper matching his Facebok page falsified on June 7. He was referring to a Bitcoin scammer who still used the editor’s own photo.
“I was surprised to see my call and recording image on an account that is never very mine,” she says. “The timeline of this Bitcoin scammer also had shots that were stolen from my account, some of them inserted into their old messages; may be able to see it in the “message repositioning” history.
The publisher posted the link to the imposter’s account and asked his friends to report it, which they did.
“Facebok’s custom link showed the so-called reyjohn, blissful. I have no idea who this guy is, he has common effects. I had four, 92 friends when I discovered the account, a big apple that also gave him the number of fake accounts I don’t have 2000 friends either.
Is it Facebo’s fault?
“The fact is that Facebok said he opposed fake news and simulated accounts. However, it monitors the opposite,” Dy says.
“It is true that he deleted many fake accounts and got rid of Twinmark (Trfinishing News Portal, Netcitizen, Daily News PH, etc.), but only after the Cambridge Analytica scandal and after a chain of investigative reports that showed the Mocha Uson blog shared its content and faked news.”
Dy regrets that, while Twinmark is inactive, Mocha Uson’s blog continues. “I mean, come on, if you take your position on fake news seriously, then we know which page goes first. Here the source of fake news is blank, but not page 1 that stores it. This makes you think a little bit that Mocha Uson’s blog is untouchable.
Reporting fake accounts is also frustrating. “Facebok says he’d rather report,” Dy says. “However, once it informs, the soul is told that this ‘does not violate beyond the proper net painting patterns’. For example, after reporting DDS (Diehard Duterte Supporters) pages that showed malice and threatened to kill the vice president in 2019, Facebok did not even delete a single publication “.
He added: “More recently, a supposedly Christian page released homophobic statements opposed to Pride Month and the LGBT community. I reported on the page and 3 of his posts. Facebok did not say homophobic insults were contrary to the norms of his community. “
The reporting procedure takes huge apple steps, Dy says. “It takes six to seven clicks to finalize a report. At a time when the global connects with just 1 click, Facebok makes the reports very complicated.”
We spend time reporting a rape, but Dy says he likes not to be surprised if Facebook moderators destroy it. “Then can Sino Pa’ng inform Gana Mag?”
What was done to deter fake accounts?
“When you go back to a direct decision to exploit Facebok, they’re really all for them. Take care. You can limit past posts for your friends, however, there’s never a very big way to delete posts in bulk. Facebok doesn’t make it undeniable for you to be safer online,” Dy says.
She advises: “Read and implement privacy controls and think before clicking. Never mention names, you can get him in trouble.”
The biggest revelation is that Facebok CEO Mark Zuckerberg is under fire. A variety of employees, adding engineers, resigned after Zuckerberg refused to do so in U.S. President Donald Trump’s incendiary positions, which spread misinformation.
