Poll: Conservatives Leaving Facebook


Poll: Conservatives Leaving Facebook

By Jason Devaney Wednesday, 29 August 2018 04:52 PM

Many conservatives are either abandoning their use of Facebook or considering doing so because they think the social media company is censoring conservative voices, a new poll found.

Results from the Media Research Center-sponsored survey:

·        More than 45 percent of conservatives said they have left Facebook or are considering leaving it.
·        7.5 percent of conservatives said they left Facebook because it was censoring right-leaning views.
·        24.8 percent said they are considering leaving Facebook because of the company's censorship of conservatives.
·        13 percent said they left Facebook or are considering doing so for a reason other than censorship.
·        66.1 percent said they do not trust Facebook to treat all of its users equally, no matter their politics.
·        66.9 said they have less trust in Facebook than they did one year ago.
·        64.6 percent said social media companies are censoring conservatives and right-leaning views on their platforms.

"These numbers are devastating to any CEO responsible for addressing the concerns of his customer base," Media Research Center president Brent Bozell said. "According to this survey, 7 percent of conservatives have already left Facebook and another 25 percent are seriously considering it. That's nearly one-third (32 percent) of conservatives on Facebook — potentially tens of millions of consumers.

"To make matters worse, two-thirds of conservative Facebook users trust Facebook less than they did a year ago. These trends should set off alarm bells at Facebook headquarters. They are bleeding a major customer base."

Facebook and other social media companies have come under fire over claims they are trying to silence conservative voices. President Donald Trump accused Google this week of rigging search results against him.

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
