Summary
losing free speech is too high a price! Yet Facebook’s expanded definition of
terrorist organizations and other changes may do just that! Facebook, Twitter
and YouTube are under increasing pressure from Congress to limit the spread
of hate messages, pictures and videos, as more terrorists and mass shooters
have been using social media to become notorious and incite others to follow
their lead.
Facebook has set up a ’Supreme Court’ to provide oversight as to what
content is okay, and what gets removed. But, one man’s hate speech is
another’s free speech. And this oversight board is too close to 1984’s
Thought Police for comfort. They even have a Dangerous Individuals and
Organizations policy.
Hear about the six categories of violence and criminal behavior that will get
you in trouble on Facebook, if not booted altogether. In the book 1984,
Winston Smith got into trouble with Big Brother, the leader of the Party, which
prohibits free thought, sex, and any expression of individuality. As you may
remember, it didn’t work out well for Winston in the end, so this should be a
warning to all of us….

| 0:06.0 | Welcome to the terrorist therapist show on Renegade Talk Radio with your host, Dr. Carroll, though you may not realize that the |
| 0:21.7 | ongoing threat of terrorism is affecting your life and that of your loved ones. Each week, Dr. Carol |
| 0:26.5 | analyzes the hottest topics in terror and helps you and your family reach your dreams, despite living in a time of terror. |
| 0:41.1 | Is Facebook becoming the thought police? |
| 0:44.8 | Welcome to the terrorist therapist show. |
| 0:49.7 | I'm Dr. Carroll, a psychiatrist, and you're a terrorist therapist. |
| 0:54.6 | Well, yes, you may not have heard this. |
| 1:03.5 | There was a news article about it, but it certainly hasn't been big news, and it should be. |
| 1:13.7 | Because these new changes that Facebook is making and the other social media are also involved, they're probably going to be following Facebook's lead, they are changing what they are allowing on Facebook. |
| 1:23.6 | So I suggest that you listen to this because you may not want to make the faux |
| 1:29.3 | of being included as they expand their definition of terrorism and terrorists |
| 1:38.3 | and who is allowed to say what on Facebook. |
| 1:43.3 | So I am calling them or questioning at least whether they are |
| 1:47.6 | becoming the thought police. And I'm talking of course about the novel 1984. If you haven't read |
| 1:55.4 | it, please, please. These are times when you, you know, with fake news and questioning the news media |
| 2:03.3 | and the elections coming up and all of that, probably you have read it, but maybe back in high |
| 2:10.4 | school. So I suggested rereading it. I actually saw, I read it, of course, probably in high school, |
| 2:20.9 | and I don't know when I read it, but it's in school. And I also saw more recently, I saw a play of it. And the play was really |
| 2:30.4 | disturbing. I mean, it was really good, but that's why it was disturbing, because it brought |
| 2:35.6 | the points of a 1984 home to roost in a much more emotional, powerful way. So I'm going to read |
