Facebook activated its ‘Safety Check’ tool after the killings at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday, making it the first time the service was used in the U.S.
A gunman opened fire at the nightclub, killing at least 50 people in what President Barack Obama said was being investigated as an “act of terrorism.”
Facebook’s tool, launched in 2014, helps users in the vicinity of a disaster alert family and friends about their safety. The tool asks users determined to be in the affected area if they are safe and they can then notify their friends about their safety with the click of a button.
Facebook said it has over the last few months both improved the launch process to make it easier and quicker to activate the tool, while also testing ways to let users identify and elevate local crises. It has, for example, automated the deployment of the tool so that trained teams across time zones can activate the tool at any time, rather than wait for an engineer to do it.
I anticipate the day, when people will believe they have a “right” to be on facebook, and use its various ‘services’; but these same people will deny that anyone has a right to keep and bear arms.
These same fools already proclaim that “health care is a human right”; but deny that people have an innate right to self-determination; to be free of government diktat; and to do as they please, so long as they do no harm to others.
They live in upside-down land, and little by little they are forcing us to life there with them -- but soon, they will go too far. Soon, they will push too far, too hard, and the backlash will come.
Then, those whose forebearance has been worn out shall redeem their dignity, and avenge themselves upon those who enact tyranny; and the blood shall flow copiously. And many shall observe the old law -- an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, and life for life. Then shall the communists and the fascists know true fear --
Because we shall not forget the millions of murderous abortions, but for them we shall demand life for life.
Nor the millions murdered in the death camps and prisions of fascist Germany and communist Russia, and across Eastern Europe, Turkey, and the Caucasus -- for them we shall demand life for life.
Nor the horrors of the Hanoi Hilton and the killing fields of Cambodia and Laos -- for all those who were tortured and lived, as well as for those who were tortured and killed, but for them we shall demand life for life.
And our cause is just -- the only way we can loose, is not to fight for it.
Thus shall the lines be drawn…
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
