Au contraire mon cheri! It is you that is trolling. Take another look at those nasty responses you sent me that indeed contributed nothing but rage. But by all means...
It just doesn't matter. Approval ratings are a silly metric. It is a total waste to consider them at all, in this case (which is not special anyway), or any other.
Approval ratings have no relation to the actual vote, which reflects a 98% approval rating. Approval ratings are entirely subjective, like the chill factor and heat index. Numbers to create a story.
Don't listen to the rhetoric, it's unbelievable. Always check the party's voting record, and of course where the money that fills the coffers comes from.
Yeah, this is why you will always produce an inferior product. If you don't know the basics of how things work, you can't possibly understand. Raising the abstraction level only makes things worse. The airline pilot's example is a perfect case in point. If you don't know how to fly the plane, it will eventually catch up with you.
Oh, I see. What powers your computer, eh? Where do you think all those 1s and 0s come from? If you don't know electricity, you can't possibly know computers.
Yes, it's a little like the airlines teaching the pilot how to work an automated flight director instead of how to fly a plane.
To learn computer science, you need to learn basic electricity first, which requires some knowledge of math and physics, which appears to be a show stopper for some people.
If they were actually anonymous users, the company won't be able to unmask them. Most likely they were registered users that posted anonymously. And if they used their real names, they will get burnt.
There's a piece of Samsung, and Microsoft too, in every phone you buy. In fact they even make a few pennies on that box of laundry detergent, and on the ships they build. A diversified portfolio and cross manufacturing makes it almost impossible to avoid Samsung or anybody else you might hate.
You can delete all the posts you want, but anybody who copied them beforehand can repost them. And Google can still have a cache file. You have no right to force anybody to erase those or any references to them.
And this is not about protecting you from *big undemocratic greedy corporations*. It's there to allow powerful people (government or corporate) to erase embarrassing statements and actions. It is exactly what China does to its internet. You don't have a right to control what a search engine finds and indexes, and to combat the attempt, we need an alternative that can't be controlled by legislation. A search engine should be like a 'dumb pipe', find and display anything you are searching for, unfiltered. Arguing about it is silly. Circumvention of such laws is essential to keep the internet wide open.

Now, can we get the pinball game back also?

I don't see Republicans actually supporting this idea. It just seems rather unlikely.
Don't think about. The democratic party doesn't support it either, but the voters fall for the act every time.
test the political winds aloft..
Hard to do with a lead balloon.

I like you! You're funny

I will assume I'm being trolled :-)

Or it could be nobody at all. Without knowing who, it's impossible to verify anything, pretty much the history of the entire story line.
Your idealism is wasted on me. Money doesn't know left from right.
"...citing a person with direct knowledge of the conversation."
Uh huh... And who is this *fly on the wall*?
There is no 'lefty' media - Count de Monet
And that is why we need the technical means to subvert that. That will end the debate.
How will that help? Pointing out lies no longer has the desired effect. They keep lying, and they keep their jobs, and the voters don't care.

Never put your real name on the internet. Use burner accounts for everything.

Use paper. It's still the best, most reliable medium ever devised.
Computers are not ready for prime time. They are too frail.
Most likely the USS de Leon.
There are ways around that too.
