Yeah, they did not need to show the footage of her blatantly distracted away from the road. That was my biggest takeaway. I'm not sure who decided what footage got shown publicly but I immediately found that interesting to say the leas

For someone who is very much on the outside of understanding this situation, if you think you know enough to comment on it overall, would you say that they are mishandling it due to generally misunderstanding the gravity of the verdicts the

I think the most uncomfortable part that people won't bring up is the fact that cars are essentially high speed, high weight metal death machines on wheels. Just a quick Google search and the first results give me this info: >Nearly

When you say removed "them" I'm assuming you mean removed the collection limits and not the Obama campaign, correct? Thanks for the info by the way!

Is it / was it known that other potential candidates were barred from doing the same or was the Obama election campaign the only one granted such permissions?

Well you know what? I'm not going to lie, I didn't think that far into it but now that you mention it it really should have been very obvious to me. In one way FB is helping shield people from harm. On the other hand if enough peo

There are just too many weird little anecdotes about all of this. I'm not trying to bring politics into this but as if Facebook as a corporation isn't high enough up on the food chain as it is (in general as a company that makes l

I always got the vibe that they pushed things like that so hard and in your face in order to find out more about you. If you are the type to set your privacy a certain way they corral you into a group where you are looked at in a different

It could have been anything readable. I got the feeling it was either a Kindle or something like that or maybe even a hardcopy of something printed or written on paper. This was just a hunch but I think it's being validated in my mind

Sorry for lack of input or varied discussion but I just had to stop and say how goddamn friggin cool it would be to have bolometers hooked up to a smart HUD that didn't interfere with your vision of the road. Something really transluce

Yeah it's all a ruse. The act of "rolling out new privacy features" was literally them introducing the features they'd use to capture as much data as possible. Tech people were screaming to anybody who would listen while

I just find it disgusting that, as a company, they feel they have the right to act in such a way. At the end of the day I guess it's safe to assume that somebody inside or outside of Facebook has an agenda to proceed with actions like

Wait, so that picture / video of the bicycle on the ground at what looked like the scene had nothing to do with the accident at all? It seemed really focused on from my POV. I'd find it rather strange if the bicycle had nothing to

I agree with your agreement and I think it is absolutely paramount that the actual summary and facts of this ruling be shown completely in each and every instance it is posted, then re-posted, around the e-world. This feels like the type
