A while back, a study came out about Facebook using algorithms to track people’s activities on their platform, and they noticed that when a person got upset or angry, they stayed around longer and posted more. Since they were tracking your likes and dislikes, they could tailor your experience to show you whatever they thought you would like… well, that was what they said to justify their data collecting algorithms.

What they actually did with it was tailored your content to show you whatever they needed to keep you on the platform and in front of the ads they were selling space to. So, when the algorithms found that people stay on longer and come back more often when they are enraged by content, they began making sure to keep people angry. They are very skilled at this. Like the devil himself, they can target your rage or helplessness or paranoia or whatever.

Essentially, engaging in social media is allowing an algorithm to map how you think and feel, so a platform can weaponize it against you. Facebook was engaging in propaganda when they began putting labels on people’s post declaring what they said to be false, then redirecting the reader to a site that had information that they wanted to be promoted.

They were trying to control the narrative. This was going on during a time when people were not allowed to gather together to discuss things in person. You couldn’t even engage in chat at the check-out because we had to stay 6 feet apart with a muffle mask on that made everyone look angry and unfriendly.

At the same time, we saw the liberal content being promoted. People were being divided into groups…gay, straight, black, white, mask, no mask, vaccinated, not vaccinated. Platforms across the board began to censor people….you can’t say sex, rape, murder, kill, suicide, and a whole host of other words….though, these words were being censored, they are all still the topics of discussion. Videos are taken down for mentioning any of these words… but if you censored the words, you could keep the video up even if the content talks about the topic in great detail. Our ability to speak freely on the internet is being taken from us one word at a time.

They claim to do this censorship to help us all get along better…except, it hasn’t…and in fact, there is more of an atmosphere of hatred than ever before as one side (the conservatives) are being silenced and canceled while the other side (the liberals) are being given a platform to spew their vitriol. The liberal party cleverly targeted their supporters that were in protected classes….so on social media like TIKTOK they could put up videos containing vile and hateful content directed at the conservatives without being censored.

This algorithm that built a profile of the way you think…your likes and dislikes has basically reconstructed your mind into data so that it can learn how best to influence your thoughts. It has the ability to follow you everywhere….and it’s always listening and watching. I know to some I sound paranoid, but… your phone is listening to you… just say Ok Google… or Hey Siri….you’d be a fool if you thought that was all it heard you say. It also tracks you. Your thoughts and movements are being mapped for a reason….and it isn’t to show you ads and articles that might interest you.

In the name of inclusivity and love, you can be targeted and cancelled for having an opinion that is contrary to the inclusive narrative. Your words can be classified as violence….. your opinion can cause you to lose your business…. all in the name of inclusiveness.

John 16:2 ² They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Matthew 24:10-13
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The algorithm is targeting the love that we have for one another, not the fake inclusive love that kills off its opposition, the real love that the Lord gives us for each other….the love that causes us to take care of one another…to pray for one another… to forgive one another. Hate is the currency of the evil one…. but Love is of God…. we are supposed to overcome evil with love. We need to guard our hearts…pay attention to your spirit man when you are browsing social media. Listen to the Holy Spirit… if you ever feel like you are vexed by being there, leave.

Lord God, in Jesus name, I ask you keep us from dangerous content online…and give us discernment. Help us to overcome evil with your Love and to be a witness for Jesus no matter where we are. Amen.
