Roosh V - bagless vacuum cleaner model V with distinct sucking noise: rape-ity, rape-ity, roosh

Posted by DanielS on Wednesday, 13 July 2016 05:01.

        The “Double Jeopardy” answer is…

CDN, “Rape-ity, Rape-ity, Raper Roosh”, 12 July 2016

- Adrean Arlott

Rape-ity, Rape-ity, Raper Roosh

Recently, someone asked me what I thought of Roosh V. Well, I personally think it is an excellent name for a vacuum; has ten times the sucking power of other bagless floor cleaners.

To be honest, I haven’t thought about him since the Alt-Fags tussled over him in February of this year. It was one of the reasons I grew so disgusted with the Alt-Right and their ever widening circus tent of internet clowns. They lauded his hatred of White women and his rapey philosophy right up to the point he crawled out his mother’s basement and onto the pages of the Daily Mail. Then, suddenly, most of them realized he was a mud, figured the rape allegations might be true, and distanced themselves from him.

Roosh has an amazing amount in common with Alt-Right internet personalities. He plays on the paranoia, helplessness, and angst of a bunch of failures and channels it into modest financial gains that keep him from having to get a real job. It’s pretty much the business model of the Cult-Right. The Cult-Right are filled with fanboy’s eager to proclaim the genius of their own personal Jebus, and that is, I think, why there is so much overlap between the Alex Jones / Stephen Molyneaux / Roosh acolytes, the Alt-Right Richard Spennttthhher fanboys, and the troll Army of the Quadroon Streicher. Their followers are professional cult members who are used to receiving their validation impersonally from a minor internet celebrity.

        “The Answer Is”...

5. How Donald Trump Is Helping White Christian America Commit Suicide
At least it’s the way they want to go out - grinning deliriously from under an ugly trucker hat.

4. Dallas Cop-Killer Micah Johnson Was Blacklisted by Black-Power Groups as ‘Unstable’
HA! What’s sad is that the Black-Power movement has higher standards for recruits than the White-Power movement.

3. Boi-nie Endorses Shillary
He waited as long as he could hoping for the FBI indictment, but once there was no chance of that, he finally compromised his principles as we all knew he would.

2. GRAPHIC PHOTOS: On Black Death Porn
If you were a visitor to Der Daily Interracial Cuckold Porn Stormer, I am sure you would not be reading this line right now. Instead, you would have broken your finger eagerly clicking on the link because it contained the words “black” and “porn”. But, since you are still with us, I can let you know that this article makes a valid point that the ‘Kwa is strangely comfortable with images of dead and dying black men in the Mass Media.

1. Rape-ity, Rape-ity, Raper Roosh

But perhaps things changed in the intervening months? Perhaps I needed to reevaluate my impression? To find out, I scanned through Roosh’s Twitter feed, checked out some of the articles he linked, and then captured screenshots of the one’s that made me laugh the most. Conclusion: He is just as laughable a figure now as then. Why? Well, let’s start out with this…

I’ll take things a rapist might say for $400. I cannot take credit for that joke, though I wish I could. It was from an episode of Cinematic Titanic.

Because those are basically the only options the West has left, right Roosh? You’re sure you aren’t an EBT-card-carrying member of the Alt-Right?

You tell us, because previously you decried the Alt-Right as a bunch of racist betas.

Because you look like one of the muds arrested in Rotherham scandal? And while we are on the subject ...

This one is funny to me, because it is so poorly thought out. You see, the problem is: What morality do men possess, if women evolved the way they did because men were a bunch of murdering rapists? But I am sure there are White disciples of this mud who so hate White women that they would defend this defamation, because remember - the Rotherham girls loved their rapists!

So that’s what I think about Roosh, and by extension his whole alpha-male of yo’ mama’s basement philosophy. The fact that this mud is funded by White fanboys so he can wander around in White countries like some typical Middle Eastern child sex predator doesn’t prove how alpha he is, but how beta his followers are.


He Wanted to Kill White People

Posted by DanielS on Saturday, 09 July 2016 05:21.

The Daily News added a link to the article on Castile’s death, viz., another article of theirs two days prior to the events in Dallas, stating that “Alton Sterling’s death calls for justice against rotten cops.”

       
        “He Wanted to Kill White People”,

Modern Heretic, 8 July 2016:

The life of your typical “African-American” has a very predictable trajectory. It’s born from an unwed mother as part of an R Strategy bastard brood. From the moment of birth the negro is completely dependent on the wildly misguided generosity of Whites. Our resources are drained on funding the welfare mother, free meal programs because the money we’re already spending isn’t being used to feed the gaping brown maws, special programs and wasteful education funding. All of this spending achieves nothing.

When the negro reaches puberty the heightened testosterone levels begin to interact with the low I.Q. and lack of future time orientation creating a soulless and idiotic monster. It embarks on a life of moronic criminality that will continue until it is either killed or imprisoned by the “races” justice system. The Crabgrass-American is then gainfully employed holding on to puke green bars with its dark paws. Eventually the dangerous animal gets released because putting an evolutionary dead-end in a cage for a few years is bound to reform it and the cycle repeats.


These lives matter.

Yesterday war came to America. The worthless living fossil rewarded decades of spending, bleeding and pitiful appeasement with a direct assault on the eroding rule of law. The collapse has begun. What the jewish nation-wrecker dreamed of is finally here: blood in the streets, open attacks on rapidly dying order, the beginning of the end. Our illegitimate government encouraged it, our kosher media preached it, our educational system was the recruiting grounds for it. It’s here. The U.S.S.A. is done. All that remains to be determined is what will replace it: a South African all against all, a Brazil North “diversity” nightmare state or the restoration of a White nation. It’s up to us. It always was.

       
“The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.” — David O. Brown, Dallas Chief of Police

Twelve police officers were shot and five killed while working at a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Dallas Thursday night, by a gunman who said he carried out the attack to revenge the two police-related deaths of black men this week.

The Daily News added a link to the article on Castile’s death, viz., another article of theirs two days prior to the events in Dallas, stating that “Alton Sterling’s death calls for justice against rotten cops.”

Interesting venting of the spleen by “Modern Heretic.” I am not sure that an out and out race war is what Jewish interests are after. In fact, that would be better for us. What they probably want is a lower grade conflict with other races to incapacitate White organization and activism - which a hotter kind of conflict just might stimulate; coordinated sufficiently, it may not serve Jewish interests at all.


Us and Them: British patriotism from a “stay” & pro European perspective - by Bill Baillie

Posted by DanielS on Wednesday, 01 June 2016 12:29.

Editor’s note: Bill’s viewpoint is his own and represents an alternative perspective for your consideration.

European Outlook # 30, June 2016:

Us and Them - by Bill Baillie

After the Second World War the class system in the UK began to break down. In 1970 Edward Heath, the son of a builder and a pupil of the local grammar school, became prime minister. He was followed by a succession of middle class people who made it to the top; Harold Wilson, Margaret Thatcher, and John Major. It seemed that things were changing for the better but now, under Dave Cameron, we have gone back to being ruled by upper class millionaires who know nothing about ordinary people.

       
        Oswald Mosley

Some aristocrats had a social conscience. Oswald Mosley was tipped to be prime minister but he resigned from the Labour Government in 1931 when it refused to adopt his proposals to cure unemployment. Harold Macmillan, like Mosley, had fought in the trenches of the First World War and understood working people. But Dave Cameron and his chums have no such affinity. They’ve been forced to drop changes to tax credits, disability benefits, and academy schools because of their ignorance of public opinion. They tried to go too far too soon.

The class system was eroded by generations of social engineering but the aristocracy survived taxation and death duties and has now been reinforced with pop stars, footballers, pornographers, drug dealers, financiers and property speculators.

In days of old our lords and masters were expected to raise regiments and lead us into battle but the present lot are under no such obligation. They still have their private armies but nowadays the pikes and muskets of their hired thugs have been replaced with the smartphones and tablets of their sharp-suited accountants and lawyers.

The recent Panama disclosures confirm that we are not “all in this together”. Working people have to pay their taxes but the rich hide their money in overseas accounts. Our society is profoundly unequal and getting worse.

Helen Sharman became the first British astronaut when she served aboard the Soviet Mir Space Station in 1991. NASA astronaut Michael Foale was born in Britain, but Major Tim Peake is the first Briton to serve on the International Space Station as a European Space Agency astronaut. He is due to return to Earth on June 18.

We have long been at the forefront of scientific achievement but we can’t afford an independent space program and it’s vital that we contribute to the ESA and pan-European projects such as Airbus and Eurofighter - all of which would be threatened by our withdrawal from Europe.

A long list of British inventions have been sold to America for want of development capital. We pioneered television, radar, the jet engine, vertical take-off aircraft and many other scientific achievements only to see them sent abroad. We spent so much money on the Blue Streak rocket program that we were forced to abandon it and buy American missiles; first Skybolt, then Polaris and now Trident.

The Tory Party has sold its soul to McDonnell Douglas, the makers of Trident, but thousands of British jobs depend on our participation in joint European aerospace projects. Mjr. Peake’s brave contribution to scientific research is the living proof of our commitment to Europe.

Spies and Traitors

Patriotic parties have always been infiltrated with spies and traitors. The pre-war movements collaborated with the State until it turned on them in 1940. They have been more careful since the war but according to Joe Owens the police have informers in all of them.

Bernard O’Mahoney states in his book Hateland that anti-fascist groups have no trouble recruiting discontented nationalists. So it’s likely that the police and the anti-fascists have got every group covered.

A meeting of the Communist Party in America during the fifties was famously abandoned when it was realized that everybody there was a government agent. And a recent case against the NDP in Germany was thrown out when those accused of promoting racial hatred were unmasked as security policeman.

Ray Hill was an active nationalist who split British Movement in 1982. He stood as the BNP candidate for Leicester in the 1983 general election where he got 469 votes. But in his 1988 book The Other Face of Terror he boasted of his career as an agent provocateur and general nuisance.

       

British nationalist leaders are routinely accused of being enemy agents, especially when their parties collapse following disappointing election results. Some of them might be guilty but we should remember that Adolf Hitler was assigned to military intelligence when he joined the German Workers’ Party - the rest, as they say, is history.

What Can We Do?

British nationalist candidates did badly at local elections throughout the country. They didn’t beat the record set by Commander Bill Boaks who got 5 votes standing as an Air, Road, Public Safety, White Resident in the March 1982 Glasgow Hillhead by-election; but they came close and they will now have to reconsider their tactics and policies.

Mosley’s Union Movement in the fifties and sixties and the National Front in the seventies were forced to use marches and demonstrations because they were refused access to meeting halls and denied press coverage. But street politics has had its day and modern methods of communication are called for.

Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube & Microsoft agree on EU code of conduct to censor “hate speech”

Posted by DanielS on Wednesday, 01 June 2016 11:56.

Reuters, “Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft back EU hate speech rules,” 31 May 2016:

By Julia Fioretti and Foo Yun Chee

BRUSSELS - Facebook (FB.O), Twitter (TWTR.N), Google’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube and Microsoft (MSFT.O) on Tuesday agreed to an EU code of conduct to tackle online hate speech within 24 hours in Europe.

EU governments have been trying in recent months to get social platforms to crack down on rising online racism following the refugee crisis and terror attacks, with some even threatening action against the companies.

As part of the pledge agreed with the European Commission, the web giants will review the majority of valid requests for removal of illegal hate speech in less than 24 hours and remove or disable access to the content if necessary.

They will also strengthen their cooperation with civil society organizations who help flag hateful content when it goes online and promote “counter-narratives” to hate speech.

“The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech. Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalize young people,” EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova said.

Germany got Google, Facebook and Twitter to agree to delete hate speech from their websites within 24 hours last year and even launched an investigation into the European head of Facebook over its alleged failure to remove racist hate speech.

“There’s no place for hate speech on Facebook,” said Monika Bickert, Head of Global Policy Management at Facebook.

“With a global community of 1.6 billion people we work hard to balance giving people the power to express themselves whilst ensuring we provide a respectful environment.”

The code of conduct is largely a continuation of efforts that the companies already take to counter hate speech on their websites, such as developing tools for people to report hateful content and training staff to handle such requests.

Twitter has suspended over 125,000 accounts since the middle of 2015 for threatening or promoting terror acts, primarily related to Islamic State.

The United States has undertaken similar efforts to entice the cooperation of tech companies in combating online radicalization, focusing on promoting “counter-narratives” to extremist content.

EU ministers had called for cooperation with tech companies to be stepped up after the Brussels attacks in March.

Jewish lobbyists, frequently the target of hate speech, welcomed the code of conduct.

     
“This is a historic agreement that couldn’t arrive at a better time,” said Dr. Moshe Kantor, President, European Jewish Congress.


Natural Selecton for Past 2,000 Years Establishes Continuity of Native Britons

Posted by DanielS on Monday, 23 May 2016 12:35.

Celtic Jewelry of the native Britons 2000 years ago
In England 2,000 years ago lived the “Celtic people”. They were the first Britons. They lived on small farms and in small tribal villages all over England. They often fought with other Celtic tribes.

Dieneke’s Blog, May 08, 2016

Natural selection in Britain during the last 2,000 years:

The latest ancient DNA studies from the British Isles (Schiffels et al and Martiniano et al. and Cassidy et al.) support continuity over the last 2,000 years. Sure, there were continued migrations like the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, but these were very similar groups in the grand scheme of things.

But, while ancestrally the modern Briton is probably a descendant of the Britons of 2,000 years ago with some admixture from similar continental European groups, he is not the same, as (apparently) substantial genetic adaptation has continued to operate in Britain over the same period. A new preprint by Field, Boyle, Telis et al. makes the case for adaptation in a variety of traits in the ancestors of Britons over this period. Mind you, the genetic underpinnings of many important human traits known to have high heritability are currently unknown, but there is little doubt that selection would have affected traits beyond those detected in this study. I am quite curious to see whether the striking efflorescence of cultural achievement in Britain over the last half millennium could have (at least in part) a genetic underpinning.

Depigmentation is a trait whose genetic architecture is as well as understood as any. The results of this study might surprise writers of decades and centuries past who supposed that the spectrum of pigmentation of modern Europeans was the result of admixture-in varying measure- between Xanthochrooi and Melanchrooi races of primordial antiquity. All indications seem to be that depigmentation of hair, skin, and eyes did not co-occur in such a hypothetical race, but rather in different parts of the Caucasoid range, only reaching a high combined frequency in northern Europe to form the distinctive physical type that is distinctive of the natives of that region. It would be quite interesting to see how these traits evolved in Fennoscandia and the Baltic, regions that sport an even higher depigmentation than the British Isles. Traditionally, these areas were viewed as refuges of the Xanthochrooi but it may very well turn out to be that for whatever reason selection has acted in that area as well, as it did in the Eastern European plain where rather dark Bronze Age steppe groups gave way to rather light pigmented living eastern Slavs.

Detection of human adaptation during the past 2,000 years

Yair Field, Evan A Boyle, Natalie Telis, Ziyue Gao, Kyle J Gaulton, David Golan, Loic Yengo, Ghislain Rocheleau, Philippe Froguel, Mark I McCarthy, Jonathan K Pritchard

Detection of recent natural selection is a challenging problem in population genetics, as standard methods generally integrate over long timescales. Here we introduce the Singleton Density Score (SDS), a powerful measure to infer very recent changes in allele frequencies from contemporary genome sequences. When applied to data from the UK10K Project, SDS reflects allele frequency changes in the ancestors of modern Britons during the past 2,000 years. We see strong signals of selection at lactase and HLA, and in favor of blond hair and blue eyes. Turning to signals of polygenic adaptation we find, remarkably, that recent selection for increased height has driven allele frequency shifts across most of the genome. Moreover, we report suggestive new evidence for polygenic shifts affecting many other complex traits. Our results suggest that polygenic adaptation has played a pervasive role in shaping genotypic and phenotypic variation in modern humans.


Important Announcement From The New Observer

Posted by DanielS on Monday, 16 May 2016 09:28.

Update: TNO has come back.

TNO, “Important Announcement”, 16 May 2016:


Gone Fishing

Due to a number of reasons, this site will no longer be updated.  There are three main reasons for this: Continuous rampant cut and paste copying of our articles onto other sites; the resultant demoralization of our writers after their hours of work is just stolen, and the lack of response to fundraising efforts.

1. Continuous rampant cut and paste copying of our articles onto other sites.

While it is accepted that the Internet is a place of free exchange of ideas and thoughts, the continuous “cut and paste” copying of our original articles has breached all ethical considerations.

It is the norm, when wishing to reproduce an article, to only have a paragraph of the article, and then a back link to the original.  This is being blatantly ignored, and then other sites are asking for money for cut-and-pasting the New Observer’s articles.

2.  Our articles are all original works and the product of much research, some of which have taken our writers many hours to compile. To have these hours of work just cut-and-pasted has made our writers ask “what is the point” if someone else is just going to steal the work.

3.  Despite appeals, we have been unable to pay our writers for their hours of work, and therefore funding has become a critical issue.

Some readers have suggested erecting a Paywall and charging to read the site. However, given that the cut-and-paste copiers have already bypassed anti-copy software on the website, we are sure that installing a Paywall will not stop the content copying. This will in turn only anger those who might have paid to view the content.


I am not being paid for anything either and am working steadily to defend the interests of European peoples - in view of our emergency circumstances, I have suspended protocols at times and in ways; though I was perhaps narcissistic to presume that I was in a way supporting The New Observer with a form of endorsement by republishing some of its articles; furthermore, I presumed that they did have some financial wherewithal and shared my priority for our defense and advancement above all.

However, I can certainly abide by this norm:

It is the norm, when wishing to reproduce an article, to only have a paragraph of the article, and then a back link to the original.

If TNO resumes operations, I will certainly pledge to do that; with apologies and in the hopes that after enjoying a fishing trip that the staff of The New Observer will resume their excellent work: For heaven’s sake people, get them some financial support. These cheap damned White people!  - isn’t it Jews who are supposed to be cheap?

Should we go to “The Daily Stormer” for news from a perspective of White/European interests? Perhaps we can go to “Red Ice” for the latest right-wing nut conspiracy theory? To “The Political Cesspool” for that good old religion and bragging about who knows what? People, give us a break!

If The TNO won’t resume operations that would be big loss, because they most closely approximate a competent news service from the perspective of White/European interests - it was a great help to MR to be able to rely on them for that because we are not primarily a news site; we run news articles for the sake of topical orientation and to keep information running through our system.

Of course I appreciate TNO’s need for financial support. However, if they will not resume operations and any of them are concerned enough for European interests, have the capacity to survive financially and the will to contribute, then please feel free to contact us here; you might contribute to whatever extent that you feel comfortable. Of course I am not against people making money and being paid for what they do - you deserve it; and if you want to think about making that happen through Majorityrights, we’ll consider that as well; though MR has not been pursued as a gainful enterprise, it is, and has been, rather a labor of deeply felt need.

Update: TNO has come back.


Sounds Like black Privilege: Blackout on WN Concerns, Comments - Majorityrights Forum Responds

Sounds like black privilege to me”: Rampant racism forces Fox News to close comments section on Malia Obama article

An article about Malia Obama’s choice of college garnered racially charged reader comments on Fox News.


FILE- In this April 8, 2016, file photo, President Barack Obama and his daughter Malia walk from Marine One toward Air Force One at Los Angeles International Airport. Malia is taking a year off after graduating from high school before attending Harvard University as part of an expanding program for students known as a “gap year.” (AP Photo/Nick Ut, File)(Credit: AP)

After posting a news story about Malia Obama’s decision to take a gap year before beginning Harvard, Fox News was forced to remove the comment section from the article, after an avalanche of racism by readers, according to reverbpress.

Although the comments are now hidden, Addicting Info managed to take several screenshots of the hatefulness posted some on the news site. Typos and grammatical errors have been included as per the original:

  I wonder if she applied as a muDslime..or a foreign student..or just a N—–

  According to the screenshot, this comment garnered the most likes from other users, managing to combine three different groups of people into one racist sentence.

Facebook Gets Involved in Asking Users to Snitch on One Another.

Posted by DanielS on Saturday, 23 January 2016 01:38.

NYADagbladet, ‘Facebook gets involved in asking users to report on what has heretofore been free opinion,’ 21 Jan 2016:

Illegal speech has always been forbidden on Facebook. And there are also opinions which are classified as “hatred and intolerance.” Now Facebook is taking a hard line against dissent by building a system wherein you can report friends whose opinions are dissident of their party line regarding migrants and their assimilation.


Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg, yesterday presented its new strategy at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This week it has launched a new project which is called the Initiative for Civil Courage online.

“Civil Courage”

From left, Sasha Havlicek, Gerd Billen, Sheryl Sandberg, Peter Neumann, Anetta Kahane at the launch of the initiative at the World Economic Forum

There is much talk about stopping the IS and terrorism in the social media. But behind the new venture hides also other motives. It is mainly in response to protests flaring-up in social media against the great migration and refugee flows into Europe that the company now intends to take action. The initiative will particularly target Germany, where the protests were at their strongest according to Reuters.

- ‘Hate speech has no place in our society - not even on the Internet, said Sandberg of the new venture.’

Merkel and the German government are a significant party in pushing Facebook to apprehend “hatred and calls for violence.”

Clear illegality has always been forbidden to write and Facebook’s employees censure that sort of continent as soon as it is discovered. However, the company will now focus on detecting users who make “xenophobic remarks,” according to Britain’s “Independent.” It has now engaged media company Bertelsmann to clean up and monitor traffic on the German part of the platform. The company has also set aside a million euro to be allocated to “nonprofit organizations” to help in the effort.

Opinion based reporting

But the really big operation is not launched yet. Facebook will have an opinion reporting system that allows users to alert the company when friends’ opinions start to diverge too much. Then you should be able to flag that they are ‘at risk of being radicalized, “according to IDG.

It is still unclear what the definition of too radical will be, whose posts will be deleted and if it should be decided by a robot or by human judgment.

Here by contrast is Gaurdian coverage:

Guardian, ‘Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg: ‘likes’ can help stop Isis recruiters,’ 20 Jan 2016:


Speaking at Davos, Facebook’s COO said the company believes ‘counterspeech’ by the online community is the best way to combat propaganda

Silicon Valley is now an open combatant in the war against Islamic extremism.

In increasingly brash tones, tech executives are discussing publicly how their companies can help the west stop Islamic State recruiting efforts online. That shift is welcome news in Washington, London and Berlin, but it could also raise questions about American tech firms’ role in the global marketplace of ideas.

Less than two weeks ago, Silicon Valley’s leading executives joined a closed-door meeting with America’s most senior security staff and law enforcement officials to discuss how to combat Isis’s recruiting efforts online. Agents for the terrorist organization have increasingly turned to platforms such as Facebook,

Alphabet’s YouTube and Twitter.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on 20 January, Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg pointed to one source of inspiration for the digital war against Isis – “a ‘like’ attack”.

She explained a recent effort by German Facebook users to “like” the Facebook page of the neo-Nazi party and then post positive messages on the page.
“What was a page filled with hatred and intolerance was then tolerance and messages of hope,” she said.

Google says Isis must be locked out of the open web.

She then pivoted to Isis and added: “The best thing to speak against recruitment by Isis are the voices of people who were recruited by Isis, understand what the true experience is, have escaped and have come back to tell the truth ... Counter-speech to the speech that is perpetuating hate we think by far is the best answer.”


Speaking separately in London on the same day, Alphabet’s director of Google Ideas, Jared Cohen, talked about efforts to force Isis agents off the public internet.


“It could be where we can see greater short-term wins,” said Cohen, who met with Pope Francis on 15 January along with Alphabet executive chairman Eric Schmidt.

Revealed: White House seeks to enlist Silicon Valley to ‘disrupt radicalization’

US officials, lawmakers and politicians have complained that the companies aren’t doing enough to keep terrorists away from civilians online. Donald Trump famously said last month he wanted to talk to Microsoft founder Bill Gates about “closing the internet up” in some places to stop Isis.

And while tech executives privately were sympathetic, they were often nervous about confronting the issue publicly. The internet, by its nature, is open. Tech firms – rooted in America’s liberal tradition of free speech – are skittish about playing traffic cop about posted content. Sandberg’s and Cohen’s remarks Wednesday suggest those concerns have diminished.

During the national security meeting in San Jose, Silicon Valley executives in the room, including Sandberg and Apple’s Tim Cook, appeared open to the idea of helping Washington combat Isis online.

The Guardian reported at the time that US officials asked Sandberg about Facebook’s technology that allows users to flag friends who are posting suicidal thoughts on the platform.

After Sandberg explained it, tech executives in the room discussed whether a similar system could be developed for flagging social media users showing signs of radicalization.
