### Facebook bans American Truck Convoy Group
- The Tyrants at Facebook are back to banning.
- This is a Grass Roots protect movement and Facebook has shut them down on their platform. This is why alt-tech is very important.
- Facebook has banned anti-lockdown groups in the past.
- There is a new tool by the tools at Facebook called "Flagged". It will allow group admins to censor group members before Facebook hits the group with a strike. Better act quickly, unpaid facebook employees, and keep your eyes on Facebook at all times - use it all day - don't leave.

### Hiding the Win 11 Teams icons saves RAM.
- This is a Windows 11 feature you definitely want to disable.
- Apparently both Windows 11 widgets and Teams "spawn a number of Microsoft Edge WebView2 processes in order to work".
- This is why I find it annoying that Teams desktop is built using Electron. Edge is built on Chromium as well, so it would make sense for convenience for Microsoft when it comes to development and releasing updates to Teams.
- To me, Teams is laggy in general. I've ran it even on a monster computer, and it's slow to switch between chats, etc. It doesn't have that snappy "cached Exchange Mode" feel like Microsoft Outlook's desktop app has.
- I feel like this is another opportunity to mention that Teams runs in Linux. In Linux, you control every aspect of what's running on your computer if you so chose.

### Google One is Google's VPN Services, available on iPhones as well
- If you'd like Google to track you in other aspects of your life, you can now use their VPN service.
- If you're a google One Premium subscriber (the $10 a month plan), it's now available on iPhones.
- It doesn't have one of the biggest features many people use VPNs for: You can't get an IP address in another country - So you could watch shows there, for example.
- I'd recommend that you find your own reputable VPN provider - one that doesn't keep logs. You already know that Google keeps logs to say the least, and tracks every possible thing that you do so that they can sell that data. You'd almost think they hate you.

### Not in the Notes
- Joe Rogan is still on Spotify: [Spotify’s Rogan problem is a cautionary tale for other tech platforms | Ars Technica](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/02/spotify-shows-that-when-platforms-become-producers-the-results-are-messy/)
- CNN apparently has a bunch of perverts working there. Jeff Zucker is resigning. This is after the Chris Cuomo downfall - Another pervert. CNN also let another pervert come back, Jeffrey Toobin, 8 months after exposing himself on webcam during a meeting. Apparently there was another guy, a producer, with a sick past as well.
