    Hey @actaeon277. Are you aware that you are including a Facebook tracking ID in both of those poll URLs? Any link with fbclid=??? is used to track you around the web. You might want to clip that out of links that you share.

    edited.

    Is that fixed now?

    I'd like to see a poll about: should government officials be allowed to violate the constitution and stay in office or the agency of transgression?

    Second poll is now 56% against confiscation. I'm not convinced that those numbers are accurate. After taking the poll, in the lower right hand corner,, you can select "see the breakdown". I cannot make heads or tails out of the poll stats.

    Firefox's private browsing does not store any cookies, browsing history or cache files that would normally be stored on your machine. It makes it difficult for someone to examine your browsing history on the machine itself, but doesn't hide your communications from anyone that would be watching network traffic (that is where VPNs come in handy). It is most useful in situations where you share the computer and don't want someone else to see what you've been doing. It is one tool in the privacy toolbox, but I don't use it myself.

    I think he eas implying you could vote on the poll multiple times using the private mode, because MSNBC wouldn't recognize each different private session.

    Very possible. Very likely MSNBC uses cookies to keep you from voting multiple times. If you start multiple private sessions, you would have no cookie each time you visit and they would not know you previously voted. There are other ways to stop multiple voting, but this technique would often work.

    Im not sure why anyone even does these polls. If it goes against their desire, they will not use it. They dont care about the responses because these are not the statistics or polls that they use in their reporting.... this is just a feel good measure. Especially with MsNBC... wasted time

    Because they would FOR SURE trot out that poll as scientific evidence if it showed support for their position. Why give them that?
