Facebook/dc

I thought they sold data indiscriminately to whoever would pay, republicans or democrats. They are just now getting mad that the Russians figured out how to game the system.

"Russians."

Just like how twitter says no American owns guns or has conservative views, those are just "Russian bots."

I'd be careful just how literally you take this russian narrative, because it's caked in as much BS as everything else this criminal says.

Why is this "FaceBook" thing important again"

This reminds me of when dc got after Bill Gates years ago. Among other things, they will probably explain that when you are a big bag of money, you need to hire a few dc law/lobby firms to make sure that leadership is getting it's cut of the cash. Once that gets settled I'm sure the company will have a much brighter future.

Pretty funny listening to Zuckerburg explaining facebook to 70+ year olds. Not under oath? What a waste of time/money.

Please someone explain to me why this falls within the congressional purview ? Congress isn’t session long enough to deal with: social security, budget deficits, military health care, illegal immigration, trade deficits, combatant race issues, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

And the congress is willing to put together this dog this dog and pony show - and the media is complicit in putting it on the air. Bread and circuses I say.

I found never joining in to be the best alternative.

Ditto. Never had it, never will.

Because Trump did it. NO ONE cared when Barack did it, but Trump winning is intolerable.

1) They think it will boost their approval
2) They want to control everything
3) They don't like to do hard things

ergo, this is a perfect fit for the clowns in D.C.

But where else can you go to keep up on the latest rubber snorting shenanigans?

Isn't that what the political funny pictures thread is for?

XKCD's take on it:

Thats good. A 'paper' phone book. Skynet will become self-aware when Boeing merges with Google.

 

[Doug]

Congress is demanding that nothing on Facebook have "the shoulder thing that goes up."

Well, they spent almost $12,000,000 on lobbying last year, which has them in the top 30 or so.

Maybe they want a bigger cut. Twelve mil may not go as far as it once did in dc thee days.
