AND THEIR ANALYSIS TOOLKITS ARE CRUSTY WITH RUSY DOG CRAP OR ELSE HILLARY WOULD BE POTUS.
Ya know ;)
Media Matters is not going to be able to control Facebook or even have a great deal of influence. Facebook is the largest and most powerful media company on the planet and will only act in ways the benefit the the revenue and market cap of Facebook.
I have long preached about the TOTAL LACK OF PRIVACY of ANY information put on to the Internet. I have had people tell me that I was nuts and that the Net is the most private way to exchange and store information. Who is nuts???
The younger generations, the latest couple of which have been made as ignorant as possible by their “education” environments, the MSM, and other fools they associate with...are oblivious to the danger of putting sensitive and private information on the Net...in ANY form.
The enemies of America thrive on hacking our digital highways and storage barns.
Ignorance is our greatest commodity.
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better, set it all down in a tear-stained letter.
There is not a lack of privacy on the internet.
There is no privacy on the internet.
It’s all out there, everything.
I have no doubt they will harass people at their place of employment. And we just got finished adding a bunch of information to their reading of raw Facebook data, with the server being down.
I don’t like these ads any more. I used to not mind the freepathon ads asking for donations. But now, without any guarantee that the site will be available, how can the ads be the same, claiming that our donations would keep the site running? They didn’t. Before the next ad, there should be some sticky notice guaranteeing some tech changes that ensure the site will be running. Many sites run well on less than $350k a year. I’m sure FR could be one of them too. I’m happy for every amount JR and family can make from FR. But an ad for underwear or garden furniture would be less offensive than the same ad promising that my donation will keep FR running well. Change the ads please.
Check out Twitter feeds and you will notice political statements inserted in any celeb account. It is not the celebs that did it but Twitter or Media Matters themselves.
Only ‘celeb’ feed I follow is James Woods. I haven’t seen any MM-type statements on his ;-)
I've become amazed at the number of people who would give up their privacy for convenience.
bump for later
Give Cernovich a follow!

Is it just me or does he look like Darth Vader unmasked...just frighteningly sinister with those creepy bags under his eyes!!!
FR on FB while FR was down.
Check out # 8 .
I heard a preacher that asked why people would put something on Facebook that they wouldn’t want to see put on a billboard on a main drag.
It kind of lends perspective to what a public presence means. No, privacy is not always the way to go. But leaving it behind should be a matter of choice.
This affair has been largely volunteer.
That said, surely there are some high tech rednecks who might be able to re-architect the system.
I’d hope at the least that there would be some way to snapshot the system while it is running correctly still. Then if something hiccups, go back to the last sane snapshot. Some material would be lost, but it would be better than having FR collapsed for days on end.
