Wow. That is not even close to being right. Why would they regress backward to being a telecom company? That makes no sense. Even if they wanted to be one, what would matter would be their behavior after they became one, not before.
Standard Oil and Microsoft were selling products to US consumers, and were in a position to charge whatever they wanted, which is a problem. Facebook is a FREE service, so there can be no Monopoly, since there is nothing being sold and therefore, no prices being manipulated. It is not even close to the same.
Why is that? Are people paying for the service? You do realize that Facebook is not like a public utility or something, right?
Customer? How much was your Facebook payment last month? How much was everyone else's? It is FREE!
What if what they were doing was actually balancing out the feed to remove bias? Look at their description of it: “Several former Facebook “news curators,” as they were known internally, also told Gizmodo that they were instructed to artificially “inject” selected stories into the trending news module, even if they…
“I think if they tried to help a specific candidate by burying a bad story about them then that can be considered a campaign contribution”
I am not 100% sure there is anything at all to this. It may simply be a case of this guy not understanding what he was doing. The generation of this list is obviously an automated process. But, if the top 10 items it spits out are related to Trump, then it would require some intervention to insert some non-GOP and…
My thoughts exactly. Also: First, Why would this even fall under the Commerce Committee, when Facebook is free? Second, what about this can be seen as remotely illegal? They are not a government agency, sworn to providing balanced content. This does not fall under any FCC rules about parity. Maybe it will piss some…
The single worst job I ever has was as a production intern at a foundry that made engine blocks for locomotive and heavy marine engines. I had to clear the sand from the molds. These molds were sometimes 16 ft tall (marine engines), and we had to climb down into each cylinder cavity and crawl through the exhaust and…
The US does not ‘meddle’ in the daily affairs of the average Iranian. There are sanctions on their country because of their desire to develop nuclear weapons, and their desire to use those weapons on another country. That was their stated goal until very recently, so it was appropriate. Also, it was not just the US…
Checks out. This looks exactly like the crowd at a Trump rally. If Hillary is smart, she will sponsor free days like this with free beer on Election Day, starting at 8:pm the night before. Half of his voters will be too drunk or too hungover to vote the next day.
This is what closed head brain injuries do to you. He decides to take the same exact line 3 times in a row, and actually hits it slower and slower each time he goes. I think that if he had 2 RZR’s, he would have continued to do this another 4 times, with the only adjustment being that he was slower each time.
Cavalier: As in how GM behaved towards your concerns about your keys falling out and you plowing into a tree at speed.
“Sit the fuck down you drunk bitch! You have “spacewalked” enough tonight. You know, here on earth, we usually enter through the doors. Damn, you better not pass out. I hope you are worth all of this trouble. Yes, I really am an Astronaut. Sure honey. Do you have a sister who does not drink so much?”
Instead of those crappy razors from Dollar Shave Club, which I tried and they felt like shit, try Harry’s Razors. I bought 20 of them, which drops the price to just $2.00 each. They feel even better than the Gillette razors I used to buy, and they do not wear out in 2 weeks. The Dollar Shave razors never felt as good…

Even skeptics can recognize that we have no record of climate change happening over years, or even decades. In fact, there is no evidence for much more than micro scale change from century to century before we started large scale use of fossil fuels. Climate change occurs over millennia, unlike the recent year over…
Actually, their biggest problem was not planning for the market saturation and low cost competition. They could have and should have understood it, since they commanded almost 90% of the market at one point. They had the customers to conduct research on and determine when they would reach the saturation and price…
Reed Timmer is a cowboy child who will die doing this shit one day. If someone like Tim Samaras can get killed chasing, then they are all fucked. He was as conservative as you would find out there chasing, and still, he got caught one day by one that had his name on it. That convinced me that this was not something…
Honestly, I’m surprised that they did not shoot the monkey and his owner. Probably because they picked him up later, and not at the scene. Instead of Officer Roid Rage, he got his slightly less gun happy alter ego, Officer Richard Cranium. Otherwise, this would have been a far darker story.
