MENLO PARK, CA—As Facebook went after fringe conspiracy theorists earlier this week, there was an accidental casualty on the social network: CNN.
According to Facebook reps, the automated system that scans the network for wild conspiracy theories like Holocaust denial, weather manipulation, flat earthers, and Russian collusion flagged CNN as one of the most prominent promoters of fake news on the network.
“Our algorithm looked for pages and people that were constantly peddling outlandish conspiracy theories, and it seems to have banned CNN for some reason,” a Facebook representative said in a statement. “It appears that since CNN is still insisting that President Trump colluded with Russia, despite a mountain of facts and evidence showing that he did not, our computer systems determined that our network would have much less fake news without CNN.”
Facebook apologized for the error and reinstated CNN while banning 59 more conservative pages to make restitution for the mistake.

Facefuck head-butts all doorknobs into scrap metal, including one that opens the door on fake news.
Makes restitution by banning hinges.
Finally Facebook gets something right. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.
Now THAT’S funny. Hypocrite sore losers!
People still use Facebook ?
I deleted my seldom used fakebook acct 5 years ago. Recently I have been getting friend request as we are nearing another high school reunion. I got on it back then for that reason only. Figured after so many years it would be nice seeing how people are doing. After 6 months I posted a long final message in my wall i am deleting facebook because they sell my private info, steal my data of everything i do on my computer and requested anyone that shared my pic or data to please delete and encouraged them to as well. I was right back then too. I will log on soon to reinforce their stupidity and to never contact me again. I realized the reason i don’t know what these old school friends look like is because, well, we aren’t friends. Especially after seeing how liberal these fools are. If i have not spoken to you in a year then whats another ten or never again, seriously. If they want to compete still well, I have done better than everyone from what i can tell. None of them retired at 39…..i just don’t have anything to prove to losers anyway. Nothing will make me join these treasonous companies products. Fuck em all.
