Except it was a Democrat who normalised relations with Cuba and made it possible for US citizens to visit there again, and the Republican who succeeded him who has already rolled part of that back.
Veale: All links in tweets get shortened to t.co URLs. When I click on one of these shortened URLs, what information are you obtaining from that? In particular, are you getting my device ID/location and if so, what are you doing with them?
Twitter: It's... uh... complicated. Sorry.

"As always, YMMV." The FB that I joined is very likely not much like the one that you didn't, or the one that I later left. At that time, membership was still invitation-only and restricted to Ivy Leaguers, people who worked for "name" software/tech/Web firms (Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Intel, Sun, and a few others), and some friends of people who worked at Facebook. Everyone on my Friends list was someone I'd met IRL and/or worked with. A couple of years later, they started letting anybody join, and it wasn't long before the site, the membership, and FB itself all started changing radically. I moved country at about that time. Real life became way too busy for me to think about it much, and FB became less and less interesting when I did bother to log in. At some point in early 2013, I realised that it'd been several months since I'd last done so, longer than that since I'd posted anything, and that I actually kinda liked it that way. Never missed it, never went back.

Yes, never mind how the Americans came to own that stuff.

But do go on...
Please learn the difference between a font and an alphabet.
Did you even bother to find out exactly what Veale was asking for, and why, before you wrote all that?
And that excuses not telling your users how they're paying for the "free" service exactly how?
Let me spell it out for you.

Less confused now?
All you needed to say was, "Mr Smart? Your shoe is ringing."
Huh? I got my first modern cell phone in 2004, with a fixed monthly rate, in Australia. Can't recall whether it was with Telstra or Optimus now.
It's a Samsung flip phone—an X640, I believe. I still have it, and it still works.

I'm an academic that is concerned about global warming...
No, you're a concern troll. And a liar.
And now for the trifecta...
Right on cue...
That didn't take long...
Logic fail. You've offered evidence that regulations can have unforeseen consequences, not that they're intrinsically evil.
Mod points are intended to highlight worthy posts. If anything, you should use them to promote worthy AC posts since they start at 0 rather than 1.
Who eats protein powder unless they're a gym bunny or an infant who eats formula?
My father-in-law, who has a heart condition. My mother, who has cancer.
You did ask...
Nice strawman. I never knew the guy and he's dead now.
You do realise that citing Breitbart automatically loses the argument, don't you?
... I advocate violence against the worthless leeches of the world! It's the right thing to do!
Yeah, you and Pol Pot. Kill everyone who wears glasses!
"Is there in truth no beauty?"
"We had to destroy the village in order to save it"? Really? That's all you can come up with?
... and they will be shown the exit as a native Chinese firm takes their place.
Huh?
Baidu has the 2nd largest search engine in the world, and held a 76.05% market share in China's search engine market.
How about, "I ditched FB *five* years ago"?
I don't claim any moral superiority from that, merely a huge sense of relief every time one of these stories pops up.
I embrace the utter demise of this country. The sooner it happens the better.
So the single unhappy little truth buried in all that nonsense is that you are a traitor to your country. Thanks for making that clear.
Thanks for making it abundantly clear that you're a loud-mouthed fascist piece of shit.
