Hidden Report No. 1

Out of curiosity and a bit of accountability, I've decided to keep track of the pages I hide on Facebook. These reports will be sporadic and I can't guarantee completeness, but it'll at least give me a glimpse of the crap I'm trying to get out of my feed, mostly to see if Facebook ignores my requests and just puts it back, which is what I suspect they're doing.

So, in the span of about 15 minutes this evening, here are the hidden:

R. A. Rothman, science fiction author: Spreading propaganda and half truths without context.

Infinity Farms Animal Sanctuary and Rescue: Posting promotions of fake movie sequels for clicks.

DIY and Crafts: AI art.

Urban Street Art: AI art.

Donald Trump for President: Spreading propaganda and half truths without context.

Occupy Democrats: Lying because the other guys are lying.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Grandfather spinning in his grave.

Jason the Great: Spreading falsehoods.

Science, Tech and Universe: Showed me a "wag of the finger" video.

Lessons Taught by Life: Phishing for security question answers.

Glenn Burns: Publishing art in the style of Charles Schulz that is not Charles Schulz' art.

Representative Tom Tiffany: Not my representative; I do not live in Wisconsin.

Anti-Capitalist League: General stupidity.

Here are my rules:

1. I will hide pages first, people I have encountered only online second, and people I have met in meat space only on rare occasions. The first two won't care that I've hidden their stuff. But meat space people are meat space people.

2. I will be ecumenical. I may hide crap from one political party more than another, but crap from both sides will be hidden.

3. Legitimate news sites will not be hidden, even if I don't agree with their politics.
