Makes sense, after all, how can anyone threaten an event they have never heard about?
Good one
Halt the Heist...

I am specifically NOT going to buy from any company that advertises on Facebook.
Have any of you had ISPs, VPNs or cellphone networks going offline intermittently? I’ve seen problems with all three here.
