    Facebook is a business. Every single offering is an effort to maximize profits.

    We, the members, would appreciate it if Facebook stopped harvesting our posts for the purpose of optimizing their Big Data collection.

    The, "Oh, we're doing this for you," is just bullshit.

    Facebook will be scraping all data, ostensibly looking to be a good Samaritan while selling our shit to the highest biddr including, but not by way of limitation, advertisers and insurance companies, Big Pharma, and the Feds.

    One could argue that the chain of command ends at humans.

    However, one could extrapolate that God created humans in His image.

    Fuck Jesus.

    He didn't create anything.

    Mohammed? Fuck Mohammed.

    He didn't create anything, either.

    ... Bakken oil came through and made Canadian shale unnecessary. The US has more oil than God, now.

    Oil companies are going to go all OPEC on us and start cutting back on production to manipulate prices for maximizing profits.

    Canadian oil is a buzz killer. That's why you won't see much opposition to the veto.

    ... Yahoo! groups was a "wild west" place to discuss just about any subject at all, period.

    You name it ... it was there.

    Some of the group headings got out of hand, like "14 year old boys," "8 year old girls," "gang rape," "snuff," etc.

    There was a big bang when parents were finally made aware of these groups and Yahoo!, reluctantly, brought the entire group tree down.

    It was a free site, so providing human monitors was out of the question, and the bad press for the Yahoo! brand offset the eyeball count.

    This is not true, and it's crucial to understand why.

    In this context, "Constitution," is American-centric.

    It does not apply to the Dutch.

    The venue of law will have to start with the provenance of the Dutch company (is it owned by the Chinese?) and jurisdictions established before litigation can move forward.
