Be careful there. Some of the smartest and fairest people I've known are Christians and Jews, and not. You don't have a lock on intellect or self-challenging, as your post might suggest. signed: a small-a atheist.

I dropped DropBox when they put Condoleezza Rice on the board. Thanks for reminding me that that was a good move.

Yes. Targeted advertisement, and the resulting money, is the entire purpose of Facebook. Automation just makes the process faster. And cheaper; you know, that whole money thing. I abhor both Parler and Facebook. In the context of these thre

Are you saying the posts, or the ads next to them, are the illegal fostering? I think the gear advertised is legal.

Facebook's vendors are free to do that. Some might. Some might not. Absolutely their choice, in any context.

That's not what happened with Parler. They were boycotted by their vendors.

This isn't failure of anything. It's targeted advertising. They meant to do that. The system is working, "as advertised."

I drive a semi truck. I find I can drive more miles if I drive to the shipper and receiver simultaneously. But it really screws up my Google maps timeline.

I don't think they could take the market loss and stay in business. There'd be a lot of idle land and a lot of unemployed farmers. I guess they could eat their own mono-crops for awhile. Mmmm, corn.

An electrical utility is a utility. Should I be able to draw more current than they allow, even if I pay my bill? There are rules. Some made by the government, some by businesses.

Yeah, I'm ok with it. Parler went too far, aiding and abetting a riot/trespassing/insurrection. If anything, Amazon, Facebook and Google were too laissez faire for too long. As any kind of business, beyond protected class dis
