illinilaw08 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Feb 16, 2018 -> 02:58 PM) True, I guess i'm assuming that Zuckerberg would want to help his liberal friends. But as always, the almighty dollar always trumps (ba-doom-ching) politics. Yeah, Facebook is a publicly traded company and was in 2016. Zuckerberg's duty of loyalty is to his shareholders, not to his liberal friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude campaigned for her (or at least made a few speeches here and there). He already has a bias. Who cares? Trump made a huge campaign point of the fact that the Obama administration should have, but didn't, charge Hillary Clinton with a crime. And he seemed to receive a ton of support for that! Now, imagine the headlines on Fox News "OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TELLS FACEBOOK TO TAKE DOWN PRO-TRUMP COMMENTS!!!!!" It would have been a bloodbath.

StrangeSox Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) There are a lot of unnamed US-side actors in these indictments. Wonder if/when we'll see indictments from that side. e: it was also another example of how tight this investigation is. no leaks of this at all ahead of the announcement today.

StrangeSox Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Buried under all the other news today were more allegations of an affair and hush money against Trump, this time by a former playmate but still right in that 2006 timeframe shortly after Trump's son was born. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/do...-karen-mcdougal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think if Facebook is going to make the claim of being "your online identity" and the rise of influencer marketing, we are at the stage where some regulation is in order. It was good in the 90s they were lenient on regulating the internet, but the same ideas from how the FTC regulates advertising need to start to be applied to things like fake accounts and for it to work the platform needs to be liable.

It's also not just Russians who promote fake news stuff. Conservative media is full of the stuff. The same people likely to consume and spread the Russian produced stuff are also going to frequent the gateway pundit and world net daily and American thinker and any number of those types of sites.

Dick Allen Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Trump now claims he never said Russia didn’t meddle in the election. If so, other than refuse to enforse congress approved sanctions what did you do? Traitor. Also saying FBI too focused on Trump campaign as reason they missed on this. 17 teachers and teenagers gunned down and its all about Trump being a victim. Yes, He is correct, Russia is laughing their asses off, but not because of this investigation. It is because they succeeded, and Trump is President. Everyone who thinks what he is doing, what he is saying, how is is acting, is OK, would not feel the same way if Hillary or Obama were doing the exact same thing.

This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud! What a colossal bag of trash this man is. Cut him some slack. He hastily threw this tweet together because he had to attend a disco party last night.

caulfield12 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Fat, unhealthy Americans threaten Trump’s defense surge Rising obesity numbers, drug use, criminal backgrounds and other problems mean most people at prime military recruiting age are ineligible to serve. Nearly three-quarters of Americans age 17 to 24 are ineligible for the military due to obesity, other health problems, criminal backgrounds or lack of education, according to government data. That's a harsh reality check for the Pentagon’s plan to recruit tens of thousands of new soldiers, sailors, pilots and cyber specialists over the next five years. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/19/p...shortage-351365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
