I’ve about had it with Facebook and all their laws and regulations and if you are anything like me then you probably feel the same way!

After finding out they can access all information on your computer simply by ‘joining facebook’ and after finding out they share your information with any government agency that requests it; they are now adding to that the fact that they can limit what people can and can’t say. In this case they are limiting anything they deem as ‘fake’ news or ‘hoax’ stories to have reduced distribution. The sad truth is anyone can report any story and it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not! All it needs is to be reported by someone who claims it fake! Therefore countless news reports can be deemed faked at the click of a button. Here is the breaking report and I must warn you it is upsetting…

If by now you haven’t figured out that Facebook is in cahoots with the government, then I feel for you but for those who are well aware of the issues it’s high time you switched over to Seen.is a place similar to Facebook but without all the censorship crap!

Here are some of the differences you’ll find at Seen.is:

No censorship!  Keep in mind we do have a Terms of Service that will need to be followed for things like pornography, copyright violations and defamation.  If we receive a complaint, we’ll investigate.  If you are accustomed to the freewheeling style at Before It’s News, we think you’ll enjoy seen.is

NO ID required.  Facebook is now asking certain people for their ID’s.  That’s beyond the pale. You can use whatever name you’d like at Seen and no ID required.

No search crawlers.  We’re blocking those critters because once they crawl a page, whatever you posted is theirs forever.  We think you should be able to delete things if you make a mistake.  We know this will hurt the traffic, but we think you’ll appreciate this.

We don’t sell your data, in fact we don’t even collect it (other than your email so you can receive notifications).  It’s hosted in Iceland and selling data isn’t allowed there.  A very good reason to go visit Iceland.  A lot of very friendly people there, too.

No limit to your account’s friends.  If you’re popular enough to get over 5,000 friends, we think that’s great!  More power to you!

Private and secure chat rooms are coming soon!  It looks like we might be able to get private chat rooms on Seen in a couple of weeks, too.  These are strongly encrypted and there’s no snooping.

The way Facebook is headed it’s not going to be a place you want to stay. Sign up and create an account at seen.is today and get away from this invasive censorship!
