If, in a democracy as diverse as the USA, 95% of a group all have the same opinion, there is something very wrong in the system.

Facebook is being accused of not following the law of the land. The interesting legal test will be to see whether or not a US-hosted site is required to conform to this law, and how this will impact application developers inside and outside of Canada.
