[QUOTE]An image supporting Bernie Sanders' US presidential campaign has been blocked by Facebook in what a technology commentator believes is the first case of political manipulation of automatic moderation.
Australian Facebook user Scott Collins became aware of the situation when a friend in the US asked him to post an image that was being blocked.
"He said Facebook has been taking down Bernie stuff if it's pro-Bernie," Mr Collins told ABC radio.
"For 50 minutes I just kept uploading [the image] and it was security blocked by Facebook — cannot upload this for security reasons."[/QUOTE]
yet facebook can't seem to block pages that blatantly steal copyrighted content and watermark it as if its their own.
You can't even report it properly. like fuck off facebook

Yeah because of this, I'm starting to take less stock in whats reported in the news.
Sounds like a glitch. I do not comprehend what is up with some Bernie supporters—many of whom of which refuse to accept defeat.
Do you really think there's some conspiratorial cabal controlling Facebook ensuring he does not get elected? He lost. Get over it.

Apparently it's Clinton supporters mass-reporting Sanders groups and posts. I'll snoop around a little more before going to bed.

bernie supporters blame literally anything going down to the fucking ballots, people running the ballots, etc.
Yeah, this seems likely. Facebook's terrible automatic moderation multiplied by assholes equals a shit show.

The reputation of Bernie's opponent gives plausibility to such suspicions.

Please, make more sensationalized quotes so I can counter them with factual evidence of that exact thing happening.

Fuck, I missed the Primaries. Unfortunate that Bernie Sanders lost, better luck next election I guess.
On an unrelated note, It also looks like someone fiddled with my PC's date and time settings. Some smartass decided to set it to April 26th 2016, probably my dad playing tricks on me again LOL. I'll reset it back to June but does anyone from North America know if it's the 7th or 14th today?

Perhaps because there is actual evidence of some of those things happening. Maybe not the ballots, but things like this are actually being done by clinton supporters, possibly funded by that superPAC.
How was Bernie defeated? Someone got an article?
Ontopic, this is fucked up, the whole "pro-Clinton Super PAC Correct the Record" are behind this right?

Most of us were finding conspiracies everywhere long before we started supporting Sanders.

bernie was defeated? wouldn't that be on the front page of reddit or something

Clinton's own superPAC publicly boasted about spending 1 million $ to "fight against Bernie's supporters on social media". I don't know what you need to see to admit that.

The polls are looking pretty bad for him today. Especially Pennsylvania.

Correct the Record is a Carey Committee, not a SuperPAC, it has no official standing with the Clinton campaign.
The official Clinton campaign is Hillary for America.
The largest actual SuperPAC is Priorities USA Action.
Correct the Record is bragging about that because they couldn't actually give those 1 million in funds to the official campaign because of the way Carey Committees handle excess contributions.
Damn. This thread turned to Bernie bashing real quick.

starpluck's just afraid of his toxx :v:
Wow. If it is true that 1 million dollars is being spent just to silence opinions, US politics is real shitty.
really, Thus election really set a precedent of just how much you can get away with.
Next election cycle, we will probably see a convicted murderer running for president that literally advocates big brother policies, and pull even more slimey stuff such as this.
Reddit says that not only are images being blocked, but the major Bernie Supporting groups have been closed

I don't a glitch would target specifically everything Bernie related
