    So in effect Trump is stopping people from following him, replying to him, or reading his tweets in their feed...

    I don't use twitter. But aren't they no longer able to follow, read, or reply to Trump's tweets within the twitter application?

    It's about Trump deciding that certain individuals don't qualify to receive his 'tweets'.

    If you do not name the countries or define what you mean by "socialism health care", then what is it that "does not make for a better situation than the USA".

    Not sure that's a net neutrality issue 'as exists in law', but I get the impression it might not be if your ISP blocks port 80 for all it's residential consumers.

    "How can that stat be true? Are they only counting restaurants that haven't closed?"

    They're counting overall number of jobs and hours worked, so I guess as is usual for restaurants there's a lot that close and a lot that open.

    "There are fewer restaurants in Seattle today than there was before the min wage was increase"

    Any reference? But if more have closed than opened then as a result of that it could mean that the ones that are still open are more busy and took on more workers.

    Making stuff up?

    "For the restaurant/service industry there's also been an increase in the number of illegals hired and paid even less than before under the table."

    The report says at least twice that the restaurant/service industry is seeing the exact same number of workers and the exact same number of hours worked.

    "Can we please stop with this notion that "net neutrality" as exists in law is not the same as "net neutrality""

    How so?

  13. "Is this the same shitty reporting like last time with ..."

    From the article:

    "In explaining its decision, the Canadian Supreme Court emphasized that its order was only a temporary injunction, and that the worldwide order could be set aside once the underlying intellectual property dispute had been sorted out ... judges also pointed that Google was not a direct party to the dispute, which meant the situation called for "judicial restraint" rather than subjecting the company to a worldwide order."

  14. "The existence of regulation causes costs. The absence of regulation (free market) by definition eliminate or minimize them"

    Cost: Companies are leaking lead into the water supply.

    Regulation: If you leak lead in the water supply you get a fine that is large enough to make you stop.

    So the freer market was causing the cost and the regulation got rid of it.

    Yes. The YouTube channel in monetized and this video already has over 1,300,000 views (their average video view is around 30,000 or less.

    "Known to security services"

    Can mean someone has not been "arrested for actual crimes" but security services have heard about them and have their name on file, for example the Manchester bomber Salman Abedi http://uk.businessinsider.com/...

    1) He told friends "being a suicide bomber was okay," something that led them to contact an anti-terrorism hotline run by the British government. 2) A community worker who knew Abedi had been worried he was "supporting terrorism" and had expressed the view that "being a suicide bomber was ok" 3) Didsbury Mosque — attended by Abedi in the past — contacted the Home Office's Prevent programme about Abedi. Prevent is an anti-radicalisation programme. 4) Two people who knew Abedi at college made calls about him to the authorities, the BBC added.

    So he was "known" to MI5.
