My friends, each of you is a single cell in the great body of the State. And
today, that great body has purged itself of parasites. We have triumphed over
the unprincipled dissemination of facts. The thugs and wreckers have been cast
out. And the poisonous weeds of disinformation have been consigned to the
dustbin of history. Let each and every cell rejoice! For today we celebrate the
first, glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directive! We have
created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where
each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing
truths. Our Unification of Thought is a more powerful weapon than any fleet or
army on Earth! We are one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our
enemies shall talk themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own
confusion!

Wow, that is a perfect description of the corporate-woke vaxxers.

Where did you find that @"Eric Holder" ?

At the request of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook officials developed a program called In-App Action Panel (IAAP) that they deployed in 2016 and which was in use through mid-2019, according to the documents, which include internal emails.

The program utilized cyberattacks to intercept information from Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon. The program then decrypted the information.

“Facebook’s IAAP Program used nation-state-level hacking technology developed by the company’s Onavo team, in which Facebook paid contractors (including teens) to designate Facebook a trusted ‘root’ certificate authority on their mobile devices, then generated fake digital certificates to redirect secure Snapchat analytics traffic (and later, analytics from YouTube and Amazon) from Snapchat’s servers to Onavo’s; decrypted these analytics and used them for competitive gain, including to inform Facebook’s product strategy; reencrypted them; and sent them up to Snapchat’s servers as though it came straight from Snapchat’s app, with Facebook’s Social Advertising competitor none the wiser,” lawyers said in one of the documents.

The lawyers, representing plaintiffs in a lawsuit that accuses Facebook of anti-competitive behavior, were describing emails they obtained through discovery.

In one email, Mr. Zuckerberg wrote that there was a need to receive information about Snapchat but that their traffic was encrypted. “Given how quickly they’re growing, it seems important to figure out a new way to get reliable analytics about them. Perhaps we need to do panels or write custom software. You should figure out how to do this,” he wrote.

After Facebook employees started working on figuring it out, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Javier Olivan wrote that the program could pay users to “let us install a really heavy piece of software (that could even do man in the middle, etc.).”

Man in the middle refers to a type of cyberattack where attackers secretly intercept information.
