No, Twitter is a common carrier, and doesn't have any liability for what is published as long as they don't moderate it... meaning now that they are picking and choosing what viewpoints can be expressed, they CAN be sued for letting material slip through that incites illegal or violent behavior. Not sure they've thought this all the way through.
It's only a constitutional issue if the government censors viewpoints. Private companies have every right to not give you a forum for your assinine ideas!
Plus, the thinner the bezel, the more likely the edge of the glass will crack when you drop the phone. Of course, Apple sees easily broken phones as a revenue source, so they are making the whole case out of glass now.
I'm disappointed the iPhone doesn't support cheap analog stereo output jacks anymore to, but to be fair, the microUSB connectors we all regard as standard are on their way out too. Samsung S8 and S9 phones come with USB-C connectors, which require an $8 Belkin adapter in order to charge the phone from your old microUSB cords.
I too am puzzled why they don't make phone screens with the same exact resolution of the videos most people watch. A UHD resolution screen would also be awesome for popping into VR goggles.
Reminiscent of what my parents used to ask me: "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge too?" No, you don't need to copy everything Apple does, especially when they do something stupid that doesn't sell well! At this point, Apple is falling farther and farther behind in innovation, and Samsung and others are putting out phones with better price/performance. If FaceTime was available on Android, there would be no reason to buy an iPhone. And by the way, Apple facial recognition isn't as secure as they would like you to think it is, it just requires you to use a 3D model of someone's face instead of a 2D picture.
Putting a hole in the screen to give a "larger screen size" is a fool's errand, since viewing most video or pictures will require the user to reduced the window size so it doesn't have a hole in it. Want a front-facing camera that doesn't reduce the screen size? Then make a pop-up camera, morons!
You know, the Trump philosophy summarized simply as, "Fuck you, environment!" What bothers me is that they could make cars that got 50mpg 70 years ago, e.g. the Fiat 500. However, with all the safety rules they are now required to follow, they have to go to great lengths to build an efficient hybrid car... that still cannot do better than 50mpg. Technically, it is possible to build a vehicle that gets over 100mpg, but the regulations won't let you drive it on the street.
Doesn't everybody keep multiple sets of social media accounts, one for letting employers and customs know about, and another under a false name for personal use? Also, what can they do if you just say, "I'm a Luddite, I don't have any social media accounts!" If you still keep a Facebook account on your phone, then you're an idiot.
Trump has bragged that him personally not paying enough taxes makes him "smart"... how would Trump feel if his successor started explicitly going after Trump companies for not paying enough taxes? And, since the USPS hasn't received any federal funding for almost 50 years, using the USPS for shipping is in no way taking advantage of US taxpayers. Congress, on the other hand, still has franking privileges, speaking of taking advantage of the US taxpayer by having all their mail subsidized...
I, uh, worked in an Amazon sorting center, just to see what it was like. I was NOT abused! My impression of Amazon was that their motto should be, "Bureaucracy with a smile!" I quit because scanning packages for several hours at a time was adversely affecting my wrists; I'm still not clear why sorting isn't more automated.
How is using the post office "ripping off taxpayers", when the USPS hasn't received ANY federal funding since the early 1980's??? The USPS is NOT subsidized by the federal government, unlike the farm industry, oil industry, weapons industry, etc.
This has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with Spanky's personal vendetta against Jeff Bezos, both for being for more successful and for owning the "lying Washington Post",,, you know, the newspaper that brought down Spanky's personal hero, Richard Nixon.

Only because somebody explained to president Spanky that "'WTF' means 'Where's The Fries?'"

Have they banned Trump's account for inciting violence yet?
I'm still disappointed they didn't use my suggested release name, "Masturbating Monkey".

Thanks for harming US businesses. I notice there's not tariffs on the clothing you and Ivanka import from China... why is that?
Only the united states and canada has those standards at all...
Kinda fucking stupid to be the only ones doing it.
Somebody has been watching WAY TOO MUCH Faux news!!!
The sooner Mar-a-lago goes underwater, the better, baby!

The "RICHEST MAN TO EVER LIVE" was actually African (I kid you not!) http://www.businessinsider.com...
Don't make molly, make Molly!
But... why does it keep calling itself "Skynet"?
Most people use Facebook to check on what their old girlfriends are doing.. Donald Trump uses PornHub!

Makes as much sense as most of the other stuff Spanky does, doesn't it?
So is Trump.
