Do not conflate free speech with lying. That is what got your party into the situation to where they are.

I do not have to as you are obviously showing your selective ignorance. Here is what I can say, if you only listen to one side of the story, that is all you have.

You are asking that on a tech forum? Sometimes you have to wonder why they call this site "News for Nerds"?

You mean being laughed at by an AC? Meh. You are as irrelevant as the username you posted under.

You have not been paying attention. Look it up your self if you have doubts.

Well, with there now being undeniable video of CNN and NYT actually being the antithesis of real journalism (which NBC is doing as well), why should they allow them to continue to spread disinformation?

Right back at you. Do not delude yourself that the Obama DOJ did not do the same type of surveillance, they just never had it reported on by the MSM.

Of corse he is. What would be the fun of trolling a grammer nazi-wannabe.

This has more to do with greed and the quest for absolute power than it does with capitalism. Capitalism should not be conflated with evil, however it can be used as a tool when abused as with all tools. Remember always that it never has been the tool that is evil as they are usually inanimate object or concepts. It should always be remembered that it is the PERSON(S) who uses it for detriment that is the evil part.

Exactly my point. So now they figured that they can call foul when the same thing happens to them in the Waymo instance? I also like how your response is actually coming from a Google+ tied account. Hmmm, coincidence?

So, the truth finally comes to pass that they really have totally abandoned their motto of "Do No Evil"

.

I believe that we should expect better from the "innovation mecca of the world".

You have missed an even better story. Due to their stellar job at keeping our person information secure, Equifax was awarded a no bid contract for personal identification for the IRS. Oh man, now we are really f*%ked.

Agreed. As we have seen in the past time and again, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Do I want to see a couple of large (and OBVIOUSLY biased) companies determine what I can and can not see? That I believe is the question that should be asked.

Another is WHY did 4chan show up so high in the results list? Did they game the current algorithm that companies are currently using? I would say yes.

Yes, they do have an IT staff that handles all their security matters. That is how they got Podesta's emails last election.
