Until I turned down netflix quality to its lowest setting we were bumping into 250Gb every month. Comcast has waged a war on its internet only customers in the last year as well- without a change in service my bill has jumped from $42/month to $75/month since last August.

Its all part of their strategy to keep the cash cow cable tv side alive- cap (or tier) usage, so I can't watch high quality, and keep turning the screws on standalone internet until I decide to bundle with tv.

They can rot in hell...

Which I'm sure is the point. People forget everything they post is viewable by the government and even local law enforcement, but when employers start demanding passwords and going through the 'frontdoor' it reminds everyone how public their data is. That may reduce the usefulness of FB to the government, hence the ban.

Logic. Use it. That article you are so fond of has no bearing on this matter. The constitution says CONGRESS shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Fine. So say a state makes a law abridging the freedom of speech. That does not violate the constitution in any way. Because of that pesky tenth amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." That is ALL powers not SPECIFICALLY prohibited.

You may want to brush up on a few things. First amendment SPECIFICALLY applies to states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitlow_v._New_York via the 14th. Further because of the 14th most of the rest of the Bill of Rights now applies to the States as well.
