The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
I must have said before that I don’t like Facebook. I don’t like the way it
operates, I don’t like the company ethics - what ethics? - and I don’t like Zuckerberg. Is that his name? Can’t be bothered to check the spelling.
I have an account only because it is the only way to keep in touch with car
owners who believe Hyundai
is a crap car company who sold defective cars from 2018 through to March
2020 and wrote to owners this week that the spare parts required to fix them
will not be fully available until October 2022. Two years after they first admitted there was a problem.
Just before five yesterday afternoon I pressed Send on my twopenn’orth of
contribution to the debate and the little circle thing went round and round for
ever. I was amazed to wake up this morning to find my input safely on line.
I was disappointed too. I was really hoping that some malign foreign power had
hacked Facebook and wiped the whole lot of it. I can live without knowing
the name of the most recently lost cat and have little interest in why the police helicopter is circling overhead.
