"...the FCC has a responsibility to maintain a functioning website and ensure that every member of the public who wants to submit a comment about net neutrality has the ability to do so. Anything less is a subversion of our democracy."
I think this has to be double-checked. If I recall, a website going down is no excuse for not communicating with the government or regulated entities because you still have the option of using Snail Mail. Be careful to back up claims of subversion of democracy.
Maybe coordinate with Fandango/Theater's to do what Amazon does for Verified purchases (Verified watcher). That way, you can filter out the unverified noise and see ratings from those who spent money to see it. Also, if you request a refund, you should void your Verified watcher status on your review. You can hurt them financially or publicly with a review, but not both.
I accidentally ordered something 3rd party. They shipped it to a different state and I filed an A-Z claim after I saw to my horror, about a dozen people reporting the same thing. I got my money back, but it took Amazon over a month to shut down the account after I had my claim resolved. Meanwhile, reviews were popping up several times a day claiming to be scammed by the seller.
I joked about becoming a scam seller so I could get free money from anyone not filing a claim. But yea, over a month of daily orders going south to close an account? Not cool. I don't mind ordering 3rd party, but they had better have several good reviews over a long period of time.
"To Democrats, it's the only way to stop the likes of AT&T, Comcast, Charter or Verizon from blocking competing services or charging media companies for faster delivery of their content."
Not just to Democrats - pretty much anyone who understands networks just how evil these non-competing, money-stealing, progress-inhibiting ISP's can be.
Has anyone done any Math/economic modeling of how much the music industry is worth if everyone payed them "properly"? By my terrible estimates, it's worth more than the combined GDP of the entire world.
One of the biggest concerns for the people of the United States is if WikiLeaks publishes critical computer code on how operations are conducted, CIA/FBI hackers could take that code and cause havoc overseas AND/OR at home and blame someone else.
False-flag ops are standard I hear.
How does this affect the myriad of adblockers?
How I understand Chrome to handle adblocking: The ad loads, and still does its thing, but you can hide it. This isn't adblocking at all actually.
I'm fairly certain a person in a high position stating they are comfortable with the failure of something means a few things:
1) It has already failed. But things in the market can fail very quickly or slowly. This appears to be a slower failure.
2) They have accounted for and have plans for how to deal with the failure.
3) They're positioning themselves so their customers aren't shocked when it completely fails, but leaves open the possibility that it might not fail.
"Facebook also promises not to share it with third-party websites (aside from those you authorize)."
What this will turn out to mean is that you can't get access to the features and anything useful on 3rd party websites unless you authorize them access to your account.
Let me be the first! (kind of).
"bringing broadband to all Americans". Why not just leave it at that? Why did he play the race, gender, religion, sexual orientation cards?
Seems kind of fruitless to throw random political buzzwords in there, but then again, maybe people really don't understand what "all Americans" means.
Well, now ads and such will be playing background static noise. Those tiny hisses and other barely-audible noises your motherboard makes will be recorded and played back by ad companies to get around this.
So now everyone can enjoy hunting down why their $300 speaker system is generating noise it shouldn't, when it's really an obnoxious ad.
When a third of your population admit to doing something illegal, maybe it's time to revisit the laws surrounding the legality of it - especially if it isn't a safety issue.
So Fake News is the culprit for influencing the election? Fake news has *always* influenced the election.
Anywho, I know of at least one person who offered their opinion on Facebook (that doesn't necessarily follow social views) and linked to articles supporting their opinion. Their account has been banned from posting for 60 days.
Based on this, It's not necessarily fake news the puppet masters are after. It's censorship.
America. Land of the Censored, Home of the Unaware.
If I became president, I'd spend most of my time actively going after these companies in every possible way. They are undermining one of the most powerful forces for change, freedom of communication, and the greater good.
If Nikon, Sony, and Canon (for example) handled it like the MPAA, we'd end up with: the encryption can only legally be unlocked on licensed products (in certain countries) and don't allow making copies of the files. Instead, you'll need to buy a license per-format to export it to the file you want, such as an iPhone or an HD TV. Ensure that the file can only be exported in the country the license was purchased in and may not be moved to another country.
Make some kind of claim of "you're not really buying our camera's - you're buying a license to use them" - then sue for 10x the actual damages for any studio/reporter/etc that makes copies, backups, or anything else related to making a film that infringes on the license.
Maybe I should form a special interest group and start lobbying for special rights. #CommonSenseMatters after all.:)
(I can poke fun at our own idiocy)
No.
The only thing you do well is sell as much of me as you can to the highest bidder. The less you know about me and everyone else, the better off humanity is.
Sincerely,
An American with common sense.

Because the alternative was even more blatant and obvious corruption. I.E. The Hilary campaign and the Democratic National Convention.

Algebra calls for pattern recognition... and the visual cortex is VERY good at pattern recognition.
uhh..? You called nonsense on their conclusion, then basically restated their conclusion.
