FDTF, the Facebook Drug Task Force, will take effect this October 1st and is hoping to make a splash on entry! The Facebook Drug Task Force will be working directly with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and local area police departments to monitor site traffic, build cases and make arrests. This is in the works and officially takes effect October 1st, 2014.
“I am thrilled,” says an unidentified DEA spokesperson speaking for the agency. “We are going to get all the drug pushers and dope addicts off of Facebook once and for all! The marijuana junkies think they can socialize with their fellow junkies all they want. Well, not on my watch! We [the DEA and FDTF] are going to read their messages, build cases against them and put them all in jail. It is going to be beautiful!”
Sounds alike that the FDTF and DEA have a vendetta against the typically laid back and kind cannabis enthusiasts the world over among others. “Hey, Mr. Spokesperson? Cannabis is actually LEGAL in many places these days. You might be pissing in the wind with that right there. Relax a little, buddy, Here, try this!”
The FDTF is being designed to detect, monitor and arrest any persons whom buy and sell narcotics while using the social networking site.
Facebook’s Chairman and Chief Executive, Mark Zuckerberg has, of course, weighed in upon this issue.
Mr. Zuckerberg had to say, “The task force was created to keep the users of Facebook safe. The FDTF will be working directly with the DEA and local law enforcement. We are going to put away the bad guys.” Zuckerberg went along to say, “Online crime has risen to all time highs. As the world’s number one social networking site I feel it is our job to protect our users from such deadly things as drugs.” Zuckerberg does seem to sound moderate on the issues involved. He is right to wish to protect folks from danger and disease.
Hacktivist and Internet organization ‘Anonymous’ has also put forward a statement in sending Tom Dwan, an Anonymous member, up front to make sound advisement.
Mr. Dwan, upon speaking with MSNBC, has said for the record, “Everyone should protect themselves by intentionally hiding your internet identity by downloading and using TOR.” Tom Dwan, of Anonymous said to the news agency. TOR is a program which obscures, and thus protects, the identity of internet users and their related information of all kinds of types and sizes. Dwan, talking with MSNBC, went on to say, “Another suggestion I can make is to not talk about drugs on Facebook. Don’t talk about sketchy stuff unless you don’t mind other people reading it.” Good advice in the most simple of terms.
Facebook has established an organization phone number in case any of its members are interested in establishing and discovering more directly what the FDTF is about and up to, but even then they might not tell you a whole lot. Sounds as though the authorities are upset with Facebook being such the popular social machine and want in on a piece of the action. It is going somewhere, however, at this point, it is somewhat difficult to tell where exactly it may turn out. Time, and the internet, will tell, just as they are known for doing.
