"raising questions about its use and Facebook's ability to influence elections"
And how is Facebook influencing elections by reminding users to vote? Are they also telling them who to vote FOR?
The campaign money Zuckerberg and fellow evil 1%ers does more to influence election results....
Good point. People are such sheep that they haven't figured this out. But the current "Let's keep the people divided with all this fake "Democrats vs Republicans" bullshit so they don't realize America dies long ago and was replaced by a plutocracy."
Seriously, do you KNOW how many laws there are at the Federal, State, County, and municipal level there are on the books now?
you may THINK you aren't breaking any, but you'd be surprised
I usually never just "sit and watch TV", TV tends to be more of a "background noise", or if it's something I'm more actively watching, if there are commercials and it's not DVR'd to allow FF past them, I tune out and surf the web, or hit the can, or grab a drink or something until the commercials are over. I recognize them, but mainly as "white noise" that are otherwise ignored.
Yeah, it's the nickle and diming people to death that pisses people off.
In the Metro Detroit area (for COmcast at least), even if you are paying for the big package with all the channels, if you want to receive those channels on every TV, you need the even more expensive per month box for each, or you only get the most basic channels for a lower monthly box fee.
And if you want to watch your DVR stuff in another room, that's another $8+ a month for each TV you want the capability on....
Joining that club when the current contract runs out. Get fast internet and drop the Phone and Cable TV. Way too expensive for the 8-12 channels we actually watch vs. all the channels we don't watch or want. Between Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, + with HBO going to a streaming option next year where you don't need a cable HBO subscription, no reason to stay with cable TV....
They priced themselves out of lots of customers.
Maybe of more cable channels had NO commercials they could justify the rates, but that's a thing of the past...
If the the government isn't doing anything wrong, what do they have to hide?
Australia is trying to return to its roots as one big Penal Colony, with the citizens as the inmates?
You idealists are SOOOOOOOO cute with your ridiculous, not-working-in-the-real-world talk.
Really? Which candidates are going to throw out the current copyright mess and rebuild it from the ground up?
without the rights to the characters, Marvel Comics is worthless....
Another clarion call for the end of copyright as we know it and complete and total overhaul of the system
America does this to their own citizens AND to foreigners in their own homelands, why shouldn't we expect them to do it right back to the US?
They have a long way to go to match Comcast.....
SugarString.com is USELESS and should be ostracised as a propganda site, NOT a news site.
In fact, it should be legally barred from calling itself a "news" site.
