Conservatives have long warned about Big Tech companies censoring speech that strays from the leftist narrative, but on Thursday, Facebook launched a more proactive — and terrifying — campaign against “extremism.” It seems the company is notching up its invasive surveillance to the “Orwellian” level.

“Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist?” one notification asks. “We care about preventing extremism on Facebook. Others in your situation have received confidential support.”

The notification includes an “i” for information icon featuring the message “How you can help: Hear stories and get advice from people who escaped violent extremist groups.”

Another notification warns users that they “may have been exposed to harmful extremist content.”

“[Name], you may have been exposed to harmful extremist content recently,” Facebook warns some users. “Violent groups try to manipulate your anger and disappointment. You can take action now to protect yourself and others.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
