Facebook revealed to be a 'parasitic operation' which steals 'personal data'

Sky News host James Morrow says Facebook’s decision to ban news content from its platform has made it “the world’s number one purveyor in Australia of cat photos and conspiracy theories”.

“Facebook have unfriended Australia,” Morrow said.

“They’ve ghosted us like a bad X.”

The move followed escalating hostilities over the Australian government’s media bargaining code, which sought to force tech giants to pay Australian media outlets for using news content.

Mr Morrow said “Facebook, I think, has made a tremendous strategic miscalculation in not coming to the party on the government’s legislation”.

He pointed to mass mood manipulation schemes, donating $400 million to fortify the US election and a decision to block news about Hunter Biden in the lead up to the November poll.

“Facebook has really revealed itself to be essentially this parasitic operation which takes your personal data, takes your pictures, uses them to build incredible facial recognition algorithms”.

Sky News Host Rowan Dean also noted a decision by Facebook to crack down on what they deem climate misinformation in the United Kingdom

“You couldn’t make this stuff up, but George Orwell did,” he said.
