    History is what I have to base this belief on.

    Well... I wouldn't send an invite to someone I do not want to share information with in a social setting.

    There is no forest there though since your example applies only to Facebook. Try giving an actual example of how such leakage might occur on G+ and then people would probably pay attention.

    The thing that prevents them from selling your data, or even revealing your data is then they lose ad price leverage. Once the data is out there, it is out there. They built demographic profiles of varying granularity and sell ads based on the demographic groups. It is easy to show demographic group data to prospective customers and not reveal private data about the users who gave you that data.

    weird... and I thought it was an invite I sent to my friends and family because I wanted them on the site too.

    Since Google does not do that kind of advertising, I would think it is not an issue.

    by conflating the Google ToS restrictions with things like the patriot act, you are equating your First Amendment rights with rights to do what you wish on Google's service.

    Can you comprehend? The First Amendment does not apply to Google. Sure... you do not want to agree to their ToS... Great... the First Amendment has nothing to do with their ToS.

    hmm... They promise to protect my information and allow me to use their service with the only cost to me being their ability to use my data to create a demographic that they can build and sell access to. Note, this is selling access to the demographic, not selling my information.

    It is a private service, not the federal, state or local or even subdivision government. WTF does the first Amendment have to do with it?

    I think you mean "can't" since the means we have to come up with another version of the standard model that accounts for no Higgs or at least, no Higgs at the energies we searched.

    considering the national ignition facility has achieved fusion using laser beams and deuterium pellets and has been moving toward net positive energy rates that indicate they will reach ignition with in the next year save for mechanical malfunctions, I would say, we have fusion.

    so... if you will hold your breath, then you believe there is credible evidence that this could be an initial discovery that leads to the Higgs... right? Otherwise you are just a moron who does not know his/her idioms.
