PayPal Dumped Cloud Company After It Refused To Monitor Customers' Files (fortune.com)

German Dropbox rival Seafile claims PayPal dropped it as a customer after it refused to comply with the payment services company's demand to spy on its users' data. In a blog post, the company informed its customers that they can no longer pay for the service using PayPal -- the only payment method that Seafile currently relies on. CEO Silja Jackson told Fortune, "We're looking into alternative payment services, but currently we're running a cloud service and not getting paid." Founded in 2009, Seafile has over 250,000 users, many in universities. The service offers an open-source file-synchronization system that organizations can install on their own servers -- for a fee, if they want enterprise features -- and last October the firm decided to also start offering a paid version that's hosted on Seafile's German servers, for individuals and small businesses.

'Ferocity'.

You clearly define that differently than I do.

Hillary defines 'them' mostly as Bernie does. Two for one there. The who should be obvious by now, but for clarification, I am one of 'them'.

Johnson seems to define 'them' as other politicians and their lackeys. He may be a poet in hiding. He seems sincere, but don't they all?

Cruz defined 'them' as Democrats and their sponsors, I think. He neglected the leadership of his own party, largely to his detriment.

Trump of course changes his definition to fit the occasion. This is either pandering or opportunism, with a healthy dose of carnival barker thrown in. The rest should be paying attention to his tactics. Hillary would have to change very little to be like Trump. Bernie, well, tougher. Johnson is not playing the same game, so he isn't losing, he's just irrelevant. For now. Nothing is certain yet.

The rest of the Republican elves could not distinguish themselves, and no longer get my words beyond dismissal.
