I think "free speech," is probably not really apropos to most social media.
I can speak freely on Facebook and get banned. There are Terms of Service and crap that says, essentially, that Facebook gets everything and I get nothing, in the way of protected activity.
I agreed to that when I signed on to that chicken shit outfit, right?
Also, censorship and Facebook doesn't sound right, either. It's their property. Facebook could fold on people who don't pay anything and they don't owe us a backup or stuff.
I can't think of any free place I visit where I can demand any kind of rights at all.
It HAS to be satire, mocking the parallel argument provided by intelligent design advocates who take the same position in an effort to validate the creation myth.
I have long recommended to law enforcement that vehicles have GPS units built in that are tied to VIN number.
Doing so would, I think, just about stop auto theft. It would assist greatly with Amber alerts, reduce the need for high-speed chases, etc.
The cops don't like it because it would apply to their personal vehicles and I haven't found one yet that agrees with me.
I looked into this body camera thing more deeply and it looks like it will be happening. Guidelines have yet to be established, but that's just grunt work.
They already have dash cams that are used in evidence.
I am uncomfortable about this idea, though. Think face recognition. Cops see a lot of iffy people daily. Also, If not handled right, it could awaken the probable cause issue.
Also, I am curious about the Exif information in the original photos. I have been saying that Facebook strips that information. If Facebook retains the original photo, perhaps they keep that information as well?
I'm very good with computers. I've been messing with them since 1978 and I was in on the digital revolution.
It's also my career and it's been good for me. I give back by helping people with these TV typewriters.
When people tell me how smart I am, I'm quick to ask them to please withdraw the remark. Beside creating a wedge between me and them, it is simply unwarranted.
I ask them what they do. Of course, whatever it is, I can't do that. I'm an expert with computers. If I were on THEIR turf, I tell them, THEY would be the smart one.
I'm not smarter than anyone else.
For computers, I'm certainly most experienced than most.
1.) Photographs are images frozen in time. A little bit later, things change. Try it. Go outside with your phone and take a picture. Wait until after Family Feud. Go outside and look at the same scene and the picture on the phone. Notice the the cat is gone now.
2.) "I would hate to think that showing them how easy it is..." -- Just no, OK?
I agree. While I don't have data outside personal experience, and little of that, the people I know who home school their children do it because their child doesn't play well with others.

Sorry, but string theory is off-topic.

Subject to the Terms of Service that I agree to.

... look up Water Witch in Google Play.
It's free.
If you download it in the next 15 minutes, it's ABSOLUTELY free.

No one that literate can be that stupid.
Can they?
A movement is underway to stop bitches like these from applying the scientific method.
I can see your point.

Amazon will be updating their TOS to include the prohibition of buying things from them that you don't, personally, want.
Also, I am curious about the Exif information in the original photos. I have been saying that Facebook strips that information. If Facebook retains the original photo, perhaps they keep that information as well?
That's interesting and something I didn't know. I'd like to include it in my presentation. Where may I find a citation?
Thank you.
"Those data demands will only increase with time, particularly as personal cameras and smartphones become capable of capturing higher-quality images."
From Facebook: "We automatically take care of resizing and formatting your photos for you when you add them to Facebook."

But how efficient is that computer stuff at sucking?

This is wrong-think.
People who support the, "users are stupid," mentality are asshats.
Design shit that works the way it is supposed to. Expecting consumer paranoia is evidence of crappy system design.
The first thing I test for when hiring is a flawed outlook like yours and when I do, the interview is over.

Two things:
1.) Photographs are images frozen in time. A little bit later, things change. Try it. Go outside with your phone and take a picture. Wait until after Family Feud. Go outside and look at the same scene and the picture on the phone. Notice the the cat is gone now.

Fred died.
Excellent link. Thanks.
