Perhaps i'll be able to post the complete un-adulterated copy of an email sent to me by Facebook detailing how a nation-state (USA) is spying on me and attacking me via my (almost never used, lame-ass) Facebook account, on Slashdot.

Al Gore told us that the polar ice caps would be melted by 2014.
We all know that politician's don't lie....
You can just pay the cops to look the other way. Business as usual.
As long as the government is willing to allow the public access to all government emails and phone records also.
Spy on them as they spy on us. Fair is fair.
"At least cancer miracle drugs have the excuse that they have to go through expensive FDA trials and most of them don't make it on the market."

"Anyone who uses the word "melange" is a faggot."
Or French.
"The train... faces major hurdles"
This should be good.

An unusual number of responses by AC's....
"Nope, Reykjavík."
From the country that wouldn't submit to the Banksters and threw them all in jail for fraud.

"Seriously, is this a need?"
Of course it is! This is the 21st century. We have "The Internet of Things" now.
Every device must have wifi, at the very least.
I mean, seriously - how did people ever get by in the 20th century with no Internet-ready cookware?
Talk about living in the stone age!
Interesting stuff! But I believe in the theory of evolution as opposed to divine creation.

"U.S. websites will lose US$21.8 billion in ad revenue this year due to ad blockers"
No, U.S. websites won't make an additional $21.8 billion in ad revenue due to ad blockers.
