Don't lie, please. It gets tired.
You had said "shady law", now you talk about its merits. Now you recognize an "irregular adoption", but you had previously said "no evidence"... Let's stop this conversation... It's useless... ok? =/
The only reason you got modded up it's because you sounded interesting. Don't take advantage of people now knowing about Argentina to get karma.. =)
Just writing to point out the parent comment has loads of false information.
Some examples:
The new media law (which he chooses to describe as "shady") only puts anti-trust measures we didn't have here in Argentina. It has been praised by UN free speech "UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression" Frank La Rue and by the NGO "Reporters Without Borders".
The bit about Ernestina Herrera's sons are also false. That's an old issue form before the government, and it has already been proved that the adoption was irregular. The media conglomerate owned by her has been blocking and stopping justics for more than 10 years. What the parent comment refers to is that the real parents have not been found yet (the "desaparecidos" (missing) bank is very incomplete, this is an ingoing thing). In any case, this is handled by courts, not by the government,
It's not honest to start a comment pretending to be "over the dispute", and then dump such biased bits of information...
The TOS "advertising providers" have to comply with are very very strict. I doubt Google will agree to things like these:
[...] upon request, the Advertising Provider agrees to provide Facebook the names of and contact information for any employees and/or contractors and to specify those employees and/or contractors involved in designing, targeting, serving advertising related products/services, or otherwise providing any services covered by this Agreement.
And Facebook would be able to "audit" Google for anything covered in the agreement:
Facebook reserves the right to audit the Advertising Provider for compliance with these terms.
And if anything goes wrong, Facebook already had decided the verdict of the trial:
The Advertising Provider agrees that any violation of these terms may result in an immediate ban from the Facebook Platform and all Facebook websites, products and services. The Advertising Provider acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by the Advertising Provider of these terms would cause irreparable injury, that money damages would be an inadequate remedy,
Intel found out antivirus are a good way to use processor time. Now they need to also hire some clandestine Russian virus programmer.. =)
The strange thing about this is that IPv6 and home routers are a perfect match. With IPv6 and automatic (or very easy) 6to4 configuration, home routers can provide access to inside machines (modulo firewall rules, of course) without using NAT. This means out-of-the-box support for your favorite P2P application. That could be a killer app for IPv6 (if you get IPv6 working you can download your torrent for many more places!). (Of course, there must be more 6to4 gateways as well for this to work properly)
FWIW I've been using in webpages for years...
This is another great victory for lawyers. =b
You have all the moral crusaders, wannabe politics, religious zealots voting instead of the moderate peers, neighbours... Voting should be mandatory there as it is here in Argentina.
It really shows you don't know much about the new Argentine media law. Before the law, licenses were assigned by a government official, directly appointed by the president. Now, there is a commission, with some control by the opposition, and a formal public competition.
You can read more about the media law in this site: (Spanish) http://www.leydemedios.com.ar/
(Of course, this Fibertel is not related with the media law)
I do think the goverment is the "good guy" in this... (despite thinking this move wasn't smart, legitimate: yes, but not smart) What is your basis to say otherwise?
Here is like if there were only Fox News in the US... Terrible!
Man, you should see a doctor... =)
What's the need for offensive comments about other countries people? The kind of comments that are often the signature of a moron. Next time try to keep on the subject, without spitting insults and prejudice.
Yes, weird. Still, it's better for the people what they are doing now, not what they did before. The Multicanal-Cablevision merger is (was?) obviously a disaster for us consumers.
Not neutral. The new law is not “setting things up so that the Government alone chooses who gets a license and who doesn't”, that's propaganda. The new law is just an anti-monopoly law.
Besides, you have your facts wrong. They haven't been operating illegally for several years. Fibertel was "dissolved" on Jan 15th, and the government has been warning the company for some time now. What happened now is not surprise for anyone but the uninformed.
Presidents come and go, but Grupo Clarín has been controlling national politics for decades from the shadow. It will be a good thing to see it go.
So, if I understand you correctly... the Kirchners help corporate friends, and group Clarín is a good and big company that Argentinians should be proud of. Yet, in help of "their corporate friends", the Kirchner are pushing antimonopolic laws.
This is the kind of schizofrenia created by media monopolies on weak minds... =)
