The Verdict is in: Facebook says I am guilty of Felony Clickbait

So what did I do wrong?” According to FB’s Newsfeed guidelines:

What is clickbait?
“Click-baiting” is when a publisher posts a link with a headline that encourages people to click to see more, without telling them much information about what they will see. Clickbait intentionally omits crucial information or exaggerates the details of a story to make it seem like a bigger deal than it really is. This gets attention and lures visitors into clicking on a link, but they then quickly return to News Feed. See how to drive reach and referrals without clickbait.

So my headline was too short. Only eight words. Or was it they way they were arranged?

In the “Do” list, I found this laughable:

Share articles with accurate headlines. Instead of relying on misleading headlines to intrigue the reader, share articles with accurate headlines that don’t exaggerate or sensationalize the topic and add your own voice to help drive genuine conversation around the content.

I might be off the zip code here, but you cannot get more accurate than the title to describe why those harmless got murdered. “I guess I I should have posted: “You won’t guess what happened to these people while they were sleep. Click on the link now!”  as it fits their parameters.

My guess is that I finally entered some sort of list and I need to be shadowbanned/Throtled to reduce what little influence I may have.

I am trying to remember, but I am sure I have not pissed off  the Chinese….yet..

Your cup of Nighttime Schadenfreude

There should be some cheap Teslas available for sale in California soon.

They can always buy one of them little generators and keep in the trunk in case they have to evacuate. Right?

Florida: SB 428 – Carrying in Artsy places and Legitimate Theaters verbotten

A reboot from last session. Hopefully it will dies like John Wilkes Booth

Revising the locations where a concealed weapons or concealed firearms licensee is prohibited from openly carrying a handgun or carrying a concealed weapon or firearm, etc.

Florida: HB 311: Illegal to say “If you don’t stop your forcible felony, I will have to shoot you.”

Prohibits threats to use firearm or weapon with specified intent.
There is no exception for using of a firearm trying to stop a forcible felony.
And proving the dumb comes in other flavors, Masullo is a Republican representing district 34.

Florida Californication: HB 289 – Background check for the sales of Ammunition (and more) (update)

by Daley (CO-SPONSORS) Eskamani; Jacobs; Polsky; Smith, C.
Requires background checks for sale or transfer of ammunition.
Daley is another Carpetbagger from NY and yes, a Democrat representing Coral Springs. But wait! There is more! In order to make it more palatable to you, Daley is offering HB 291 
General Bill by Daley
Pub. Rec./Sales of Ammunition: Provides exemption from public records requirements for records containing certain information pertaining to buyer or transferee who is not found to be prohibited from receipt or transfer of ammunition; provides for future legislative review & repeal of exemption; provides statement of public necessity.

Yay! No public records of who buys ammunition!… but comes with a five year sunset proviso and then the records become public.

He is so thoughtful, isn’t he? He probably figures by then the Legislature will be in full Democrat control and can screw with everything gun-related.

 

UPDATE: there are more House Bill with the same tone against free ammunition sales:

SB 460 .

 

 

Facebook Penalizes this Blog. It seems I clickbaited.

Just got this notification.

So I have been throttled or diminished or whatever they call it because I allegedly clickbaited. What was it?

I missed the second one I was so pissed off. I can see that the Title of the post begins with “Thi..” and I think that is J.Kb.’s post “This is why I carry in Synagogue – a terrible week for Jews in Germany” surely a clickbait for penile pills.

I am not sure, but I can read the beginning of the post and there is a lot of information there. Maybe the ZuckBot can’t read too wall?

Translation: “So we may eventually get to check your request, but we will continue to fuck you and if you complain to much, we won’t pay attention to you at all. Love and Kisses”

I checked to see if I was reported, but there is no “clickbait” option available to the public. Also, I had not bought ads with Facebook so it is not like I am being forced upon people.

So, the Censorship continues unabated.

Anybody wants to give odds on if this post is also tagged as clickbait?

Handicap Parking Shooter Gets a Hefty Sentence

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A white Florida man who told detectives he was irritated by people who illegally park in handicapped spots was sentenced on Thursday to 20 years in prison for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man outside a convenience store.
Circuit Judge Joseph Bulone called 49-year-old Michael Drejka a “wanna-be” law enforcement officer and a self-appointed “handicapped parking space monitor.”
Jurors found Drejka guilty of manslaughter in August.
Drejka confronted Markeis McGlockton’s girlfriend Britany Jacobs in July 2018 for parking in a handicapped space at a Clearwater convenience store. McGlockton had gone inside the store with his 5-year-old son to buy drinks. As the confrontation continued, a customer went into the store and alerted McGlockton.
Security video shows McGlockton leaving the store and shoving Drejka to the ground. Seconds later, Drejka pulls out a handgun and shoots the 28-year-old McGlockton as he backs away.

Killer of black man in parking dispute gets 20 years

Let’s forget the obvious Race Baiting attempt ny AP and repeated by my local Channel 7 and concentrate on the final result. 20 years in prison.  And I want to repeat the judge’s comments because similar words have been posted here.

“wanna-be” law enforcement officer and a self-appointed “handicapped parking space monitor.”

Just because you carry, you are not endorsed by any legal or governmental office to act as cop. In fact it is the the instructional package you get when applying for a Florida CWL. The late Jim Cirillo stated the following:

”You are not sworn to endanger your life to apprehend a dangerous criminal, nor you are paid to do it.”
We return once again to Avoidance, deterrence and de-escalation.  Maybe we should start treating these steps with the same fervor as Cooper’s Rules of Gun Safety.
