Philosophy 101? The power of advertising? Besides the point. CA and FB are in trouble, bigly. Pascarle, Kushner and Bannon, too.

Zucker took one question each from UK, Canada and Mexico...the rest to the US.

 

If only the Winklevoss brothers would break their NDAs

Sure they're in trouble since they pissed off the MDL in order to make money.  If CA was working for the DNC campaign, no one would be saying anything.  It's all political, and quite frankly a joke, but I am glad I don't own any FB stock.

C'mon what?  You think this is anything more than political revenge?  Why wasn't FB put through the wringer when they helped Obama in 2012 with the data they sold to his team of data miners?  Such irony.

I'm sensing a lot of anger here.

Whataboutism only works with weak minds, of which I'm sure you don't have. Your comments have nothing to do with this thread. Remember George Carlin and his comment on cynicism. 

Lighten up, Francis.

It does upset me a little bit when a company that makes a lot of people money is slammed for political purposes.  Anyone who thought anything they posted on FB was private is just plain naïve to social media.  If you go back and re-read all your posts and look at your political giddiness over this it is simply amazing.  Whatever, I guess you will be very happy when all the FB folks lose their jobs for political reasons.

So you are an idealist? Thanks for reading all my posts.

An idealist?  I would say a capitalist.  No worries, I suppose we need folks to keep fretting over an election that took place almost two years ago.

Nothing to do with the OP. You brought up Obama 2012, so guess whose harbouring on the past.

I don't care that Obama did what he did in 2012, just as I don't care that the Trump team did what they did in 2016.  I only brought up the comparison to show the utter political hypocrisy of this entire issue.

Ok. For someone who originally claimed this gave them a numb leg, introduced Obama, who's irrelevant to the topic at hand, has no FB shares yet constantly inserts  themselves into the topic at hand, it's curious. 

Free the Winkevoss brothers.

[Jacque67 7,328]

Oh. This is interesting considering Zuckerberg's claims of innocence

The topic at hand is irrelevant.  As to the tingling leg thing, I realize the MDL has no sense of humor, but it was a joke.  Regardless, keep up the fight for an election lost.

Whatever.  According to some, I have the TM, so I now have to pay myself a royalty.  Regardless, irrelevant topic.
