How Burger King Can Fight InfoWrs on Facebook


“Here is how Whopper Sacrifice 2.0 would work:

After agreeing to Whopper Sacrifice 2.0’s terms and conditions, the app would show the user all the friends that “Like’ the InfoWrs page on Facebook. These users would be rewarded with a Whopper™ for unfriending each of these friends. The unfriendee would get a message: “You have been unfriended for following InfoWrs. Did you know InfoWrs’ owner was sued by the Sandy Hook families for claiming the massacre was a hoax put on by the government?””


Wow, just wow!!

Dystopian sesame credit at its finest

For those who for some unknown reason have not yet seen this

“What's stopping this app from being a reality today? Nothing, except Facebook, its app guidelines, and Burger King’s unwillingness to respond to my calls and emails.”

Translation:

I’m a whiny liberal opinion reporter, that has nothing better to do than pester big corporations over and over again until they support my virtue signaling and requests to censor things that hurt my sensibilities

Just to note

This is not linking to the fat man’s site or anything about the content on that site. It is about the call for censorship, the patent use of bribery and social pressure to do so.

According to this vice “reporter” the original went live, and he used it in India (we only have his word for that)

But it is an app that was pulled. Pulled usually means it was deployed then retracted rather than as you state “never went live”

TBH I didn’t check, but the fact that such a thing was conceived and deployed is concerning.

This ver 2.0 is his concept.

Not an actual available app

Which of course you are entitled to do!

The issue here is twofold
1) They are bribing you to disassociate yourself from those people
2) They are doing it to attack/damage a 3rd party through you

It is one thing fo you to make the conscious decision to #walkaway from someone voluntarily, but quiet another thing for some to tell you who you should be associating with.

Let’s for instance say it wasn’t AJ, lets say it was another company, Adidas for example. It would be seen as aggressive business practice that encroaches on another company’s ability to promote themselves and causes harm to that business....

Is this an acceptable practice?
