I suppose you know for a fact how "Trump shoots from the hip" Talked to him lately? You know the man?
Are you fucking kidding? Are you a Russian troll? Have you ever seen the man try to speak? Everything he does is "Shoot from the hip." If you think he makes calm, calculated decisions about policy, you've must have a screw loose, yourself, I'm sorry to say.
This is a load of horse shit. Everybody knows that Trump just wants to undo everything that Obama did (good or bad), because he hates that a black president was more successful and, more importantly, more popular that that piece of shit will ever be.
... they just can't do it profitably. If they had to pay people with brains to scour their network to keep it shit-free, they wouldn't be profitable. They can only be wildly profitable by not actively managing their network.
Facebook is nothing like the phone company. There are a ton of alternatives to Facebook (including no social media at all). Facebook is just an entertainment/data mining web site. It's not important.
Fuck you. Have you ever thought that they don't want to contribute to violence? If there's a possibility that one asshole won't get their hands on a gun, it's a good thing. It's called making the world a better place.
I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. I don't know of any other places on the Net where I can have reasonable discussion with reasonable people. Maybe everybody moved to FaceGram?
I don't think it's "obvious". I'm not a conspiracy theorist, though, so there's that.
What more than likely happened, is that one of the big players said, "This is enough. We're pulling this garbage down." Then the others said, "We're going to look bad if we don't pull down their garbage, too." Then Twitter said, "We're happy with promoting garbage. Heck, we let the Orange Asshole shit his garbage all over our platform every day."
And again, they didn't "censor" anybody. They're not the government. Nobody stopped that sweaty screaming moron from screaming. They simply took his garbage off of their sites.
A. If you're posting on Google or Facebook, you've already given away all of your privacy. That's dumb.
B. If you're posting something that's so offensive that Google or Facebook removes it, you should probably turn off the computer, and re-evaluate your life.
C. If what you're posting is THAT important, then post it somewhere else on the Net.
D. If your response to C is , "But then all of the other morons won't see the stupid shit I have to say", then see B.
There's been a major news story that Apple, Google, and Facebook removed a bunch of Infowars stuff. I haven't seen anything about them agreeing to do it together. Again, if they did... so what?
The customizeable tiles that people hate so much on Windows 10, work really good on the phone. They all match, and you can make them different sizes, group them together, and almost all of the built-in apps all display info right on the tiles. I can see the sender and subject of emails as they come in, info about my next calendar appointments, phone and text messages, etc. all right on the main page, without touching anything. It's pretty darned good. In Android, you can kinda' sorta' do that, but not really.

Yup. He should've just kept it private, if he could've. Going public should only be used A. As an exit strategy or B. As a last resort to raise cash.

Yeah, that's a real bummer for the banks. Maybe they should get serious about security?
"... car reviews on youtube"? What? Why would that be a thing? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Don't kid yourself. It's a fucking lazy way to protest and unjust system.
Fox News exists.
We don't have functioning campaign finance laws in this country.

What does Facebook have to do with access to news?
Just because it is possible in theory, it does not mean it is realistic.
Setting up a web site is incredibly easy, and incredibly cheap, if not free.
The reality is that for most stupid people "The Internet" is "FB, Alphabet and a few select apps on their phone."
I'm confused... I thought Facebook was the back alley...?
I doubt that's true, but so what if they did?
Your analogy is wrong. Facebook is one web site among billions. Go to a different one.
... or people could just use other parts of the Internet.

In all honesty, what's the difference between a laptop made today and one made 5 years ago? Is there a difference?
I want to buy a phone without Google on it. Does anybody sell a phone with a spyware-free OS?
They certainly do. The market is flooded with refurbs with Windows 7.
No, it doesn't make any sense.
