    We need a concerted effort by every citizen of the free world to visit a set list of suspicious sites like Muslim terrorist groups, white supremacy, anti-government, how to make a bomb, etc. just to 1.) Load up the data 2.) Devalue the data.

    Let's have a Skype-in and talk to each other, Muslim to Christian, Hindu to Jew.

    Then let's all Friend each other on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.

    Let's go global.

    Let countries deal with GIGO.

    Crap. Mix up all that default shit every now and then.

    Every fucking computer on the planet has stuff located in predictable areas.

    The least we could do is make it a little harder. Let's randomize and encrypt the defaults.

    Sure, it's more difficult to deal with, but that's the fucking problem: No one wants shit to be hard and stuff.

    There's no classified information on the "Welcome to The White House" site.

    Visiting hours are in the public domain.

    Also, government IT forensics people aren't sharp enough to tell where the shit is coming from. The easiest way for IT to bullshit the boss is to fake it and blame Russia or China.

    True.

    And the translations are astroturfing.

    Of course, we should take it literally.

    Scientology is the religion of taking advantage of the protections afforded religions as a way of dodging taxes.

    The LGBT community should declare their on religion in a like manner and then thumb their noses at state, federal, and local laws.

    Sorta like Scientology does.

    Why aren't the unthinking assholes who cry, "sanctity of marriage," going after the Scientologists?

    Verizon is a retail revenue generator, not a news organization.

    Their portal is going to be an ad site.
