What is this nonsense? Since when do they get to prosecute him again?

Google and the rest of Big Brother keeps track of your browser settings and uses them to identify you. This works best for tracking power users with a unique set of extensions and customized settings. Randomized browser fingerprints would hypothetically make this technique less effective.

I have a hard time finding technical information on Duckduckgo. It seems to prioritizes the most common meanings of words, making it hard to search using specific technical jargon.

Two wrongs? What's wrong with investigative reporting? I encourage it, and am wholly in favor of Wikileaks. The DNC leaks are no different from the Watergate leaks.

So if you were to create your own language, that only you understand, and then sent a message in that language over the internet, would you be in violation of this law?

Maddow was referring to One America News.

So at $40 per article, he did about one year's worth of work for them. What's your point? I'm still waiting for the proof that this guy is a Russian spy like Maddow says he is.

Yeah, I read the report. It says the Russians publish propaganda, and that the DNC got hacked. The DNC hack showed us how the democrats conspired and cheated Bernie out of the election, so I'm happy that came to light. As far as the Russians publishing propaganda: No shit. Every country does that. The US does that too through Voice of America. When was that ever in question? I don't see how this is something I should be surprised or concerned about.

>This is the bit a lot of people don't understand. I have free speech, and can buy stuff to promote that speech. My neighbor has free speech, and can buy stuff to promote that speech. If we pool our money to buy stuff to promote our mutual speech, our freedom of speech doesn't go away.

That's fine, as long as you personally are responsible for that speech. Corporations, on the other hand, are immune from all manner of things that would get an individual sent to jail. I don't think anyone should have the rights of an individual, if they don't also have the same responsibilities as an individual.

Why is having more competition in advertising a problem? I'd be fine if Google were broken up.

She accused a news site of being "paid Russian propaganda" because one of their employees did freelance work for a Russian news site once. She provided no evidence that he still works for the Russians, or has any other ties to the Russian government.

It's a matter of scale. When Russians spend $2000 on a miniscule anti-Hillary ad campaign, that's not enough for me to be concerned. When Google has a monopoly on global advertising, that is concerning to me.

She accused a news network of being "paid Russian propaganda" because one of their employees did freelance work for a Russian news site once. That's exactly what Alex Jones does.

Of course they're conspiracy theorists. They think that there's some ridiculous conspiracy for Russians to control the election, when the only evidence we have is that the Russians spent $2,000 on some anti-Hillary Facebook ads, which they switched to anti-Trump after he won the election. Every supposed damning breakthrough since then has been retracted the day after, and the huge multi-million dollar investigation has proven absolutely nothing. If that is not a conspiracy theory, then what is?

That's true. It was the left-wing news site Gizmodo who originally broke the story about anti-conservative censorship on facebook. https://gizmodo.com/former-fac...
