There is a reasonable argument for it being a monopoly. What other sites are a real competitor? It's not like MySpace or Xanga are competition. Google+ shut down. I just looked up facebook alternatives and they listed sites I had never heard of
Not a full-blown state-owns-industry kind of socialist. I just recognize that Facebook is by far the largest platform on the internet that has a abnormally large influence on the American people.
I can see various ways the Government should handle Facebook, the most obvious being to use anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws to break them up so they don't have as much influence. If there were enough competitors, people would see these fake videos and are more likely to use a different social media platform, eventually creating a circle-jerk of people spreading around the fake videos
I had heard that was actually allowed, it is just easier to point to rather than "The Court held that government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." in Brandenburg v. Ohio"
Facebook should also remove things that are demonstrably harmful. Facebook is a private company and can remove or promote anything they want to.
If you want Facebook to abide by the 1st amendment and allow all types of speech, advocate for making Facebook public. Personally, I advocate for this and would like them not to discriminate on anything, unless it is deemed to not be under the privy of the 1st amendment. I'm not sure if anything would be disallowed via this medium; it's not like yelling Fire! in a crowded theater when there is no fire
This is different because they know it is doctored. They know it is fake. They know the intent is to deceive people. Satire is obvious. As much as I disagree with Pelosi (fucking impeach already), she has a valid point here IMO
I completely agree. I wish mainstream news networks would stop bringing him on, I never trust anything he says or give his comments on any topic any sort of weight, ever.
The Mexican authorities should conduct an investigation and try as hard as they can to get him extradited. There's no way he shouldn't be tried in both Mexican courts and US courts
I think you underestimate the intelligence, or lack thereof, of a typical American. I can see people absolutely thinking this is an official poster put out by the Sanders campaign.
The problem with not having data caps is, while 99% of users won't abuse the system, the other 1% will. With tmobile's unlimited data, the hotspot is still limited to 5GB. It's ridiculously easy to bypass this and download Terabytes worth of data per month. At peak hours this will cause other tmobile users' data in the area to slow.
Mr. LeDoux, the district attorney, said the investigation would look into whether any adults were involved, whether children were bullied into participating, and whether any illegal sexual contact occurred.
This is the only sensible part of the whole situation. I guess it depends on how you define 'illegal': 'unwanted' vs 'you're under 18 so everything'

> We warming, hmmm, winters colder than usual, summers colder than usual. We're having more extreme weather in general because of the added heat in the oceans. That causes large snowfall during the winter because the atmosphere is full of miosture due to evaporation
But you can't live on high levels of CO2 (ask the Apollo 13 crew). But just the same, we are warming the Earth up
For the "Diamonds in the sky" making Carbon nanofiber from CO2, I wonder, if it becomes economical on a large scale, if coal burning power plants could become both an electricity providing and Carbon nanofiber producing facility
I think the point they are making is WiFi emits an insignificant amount of EM radiation compared to things he is (probably) using everyday, like a cell phone pressed against his head. This kid wouldn't be able to function long before the school installed Wifi
She needs to be charged with false allegations. If we (the public) want to use this video to prove *real* sexual assault violations, we need to make examples of people who make false accusations
