  > even more than facebook? Well, consider the capabilities of the two platforms, as well as the demographics of users, and so forth and so on. > any studies/links about that? Not that I know of, but I have a feeling these discussions have been held at very high levels of the government and various 3 letter agencies, resulting in the mass theatrical spectacle we saw in Congress the other day.....did you watch any of that? Is it not blatantly obvious that in this case, "democracy" is an illusion?

      The part where the conversation format, participants, and content was clearly not at a level appropriate for a matter of this importance. High school kids could do MUCH better than what we saw there. If corporations were run as incompetently as much of the government, they'd get crushed by competitors. Maybe our government needs some competition.
