And Zuck’s response “We are working on that.” From what I've seen they were pretty much all trash and leave me confident congress is incapable of writing competent regulations even if they could get the votes. | ||

It just shows how little congress has done since Facebook was founded. They still barely understand it or even think about regulating it. There were to busy trying to repeal the ACA for how many years. Now they realize that the thing has grown so large that it dominates all media across the nation. We are at least 1-2 elections away for anyone even thinking about doing anything. | ||

Zuck is sitting on a booster seat to appear taller in the chair, so its absurd all around. And one thing I know for sure, Facebook was started in a dorm room. Edit: Also AI tools are the magic cure all. AI tools. | ||

That's pretty much congresses only win, though I'd wager some of them are too. This is all a bad joke and our government is the punchline. EDIT: lol walked right into that one about if facebook is better than the government. In stuff that matters, We're pretty much at war with Russia in Syria and it's escalating as we speak. | ||

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist (except in regard to 9/11), but I have sincere doubts that Assad did jack shit here. There is nothing to be gained, and everything to lose by doing so. | ||

It's not like going to all out war with Russia in an effort to enact regime change in Syria, and hell maybe Russia too would be enough to end the Maddow like obsession with Trump-Russia anyway. | ||

https://www.weeklystandard.com/adam-rubenstein/peter-schweizer-china-seeks-influence-through-proxies-trumps-adult-children I guess the prince of Arabia met with the former president of America in his whirlwind tour of the US. I continue to find it odd that the US & Arabia have good relations, the US & Israel have good relations, but they do not have good relations with each other. Anyways, who cares, I guess. I think that they are trying to diversify their economy beyond just oil because they realize that there is plenty of oil in Texas & Manitoba & they don't need the oil as much as they used to so they better change something to adjust for that http://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/saudi-crown-prince-round-off-us-tour-with-ex-presidents-meeting | ||

The left doesn't have moral high ground over the right because they're leftists. Rather, they're leftists because they have morals. You've got your cause and effect backwards. | ||
