and,just HOW do you associate government FCC regulation of these websites with 'regulating your movements','free association',and 'who you do business with'??

cuz,i just don't see any connection in FCC regulation of a media source,and these things.
you are STILL free to move around the country at will,associate with the people you want to,and do business with whoever you want to.

please explain how you WOULDNT be??
[unless you are wanting to associate with the like of child predators,and anarchistsand associate with people who are harmful to society,in which case,somebody NEEDS to tell you not to do that,if you cant figure that out for yourself!!]

that's why I don't use facebook,because I already KNOW what these sites are capable of doing!

and,if they are capable of doing it,then you can pretty much be guaranteed that,without regulations telling them that they CANT do it, they WILL do it!

but,MOST people don't take the time to read all of the fine print,and don't understand what it all means,so they are willing to trade off something that they don't see the value in,or think is as important as it actually is for the 'privilege' of using a site that is DESIGNED to harvest personal information that it can use against people while they are engaging in what they think are 'innocent social activities'
but,all you have to do is realize that if the things that you are freely giving away to them didn't have any value,then why would these huge companies be running these 'free' sites,and making BILLIONS of dollars of profits off of them.

OF COURSE they want access to that information!!!
they want acces to ALL the information the can get on EVERYBODY!!!

that's because there isn't enough regulation to protect people's privacy,and their personal information on these websites!

if the government gets involved in these sites,then the personal information that they are allowed to collect,and use,and what they are allowed to use it for will ALSO be heavily regulated,for the good of the people,unlike NOW,where the sites all hide their agendas in tiny fine print that nobody reads,and pretty much do what they please,so,government regulation on these sites will also ensure that people's privacy,and personal rights are protected,which would also be ANOTHER 'plus' for government control over these sites.

if the government gets involved in this,then these companies will have to fall under the rule of the Federal Communication Comission (FCC),which was started to regulate medias that the masses use to communicate with each,such as TV,and radio.

social media sites are really no different than those are,and should DEFINITELY be regulated in the same way,since they have the ability to cause great harm to the country,and its citizens if they are used incorrectly...

all you have to do is look at the way that facebook was misused during the last election cycle to realize that,since it almost brought our election system to its knees since there was no regulation to keep it from being hijacked by foreign countries to manipulate our elections,and all of the REAL 'fake news' that it gives to people who just assume that the 'news' stories they are reading are genuine,since they are so used to the FCC having oversight over all media to prevent the spread of false stories from happening on a large scale.

so,YES,due to the fact that there are now sites that have even more reach than TV,and radio does,i believe that LARGE social media sites like FB MUST be regulated,for the common good of the country,for which there is already a great precedent in existence,even if you DO happen to think of it as 'censorship',instead of 'public safety'.

didn't you just start a thread about this yesterday?

you are a JEEP guy??

dont worry...
i know where you can get ECMs wholesale!

clothing worn by blondes in an attempt to attract the attention of males

Bimbar - a bar where blondes hang out wearing bimbait

Bimbag - a blonde's purse

Bimbrushes - essential equipment in a bimbag

Bimbastic surgeon - specialist in breast enhancements for blondes

who says that they are being silent??

maybe it is just like with a dog whistle..
they are really making noise,but you just cant hear it?

but,SOMETIMES,the noise of rejection CAN BE deafening,but not very pleasant,compared to the silence you are hearing.

so,I guess THAT is what you are looking for?

not for EVERYONE!!!

there are LOTS of people out there who,for one reason,or another,go through their whole lives without having a serious relationship.

if you feel that you might be one of these people [and,from the sound of your post,it seems like you do.],then,maybe you need to examine yourself,and your life and try to figure out what changes you might make to make yourself more appealing to people,cuz,eventually,you just have to realize that,"maybe the problem isn't with everyone else"?

Best pickup line:

"Built FORD tough!"

["Like a rock" not nearly as good to use for a pickup,since rocks tend to sink when they go through a mud puddle,and they are VERY HARD to work on/'fix'!]

lol
its not like I woke up early and WENT TO WORK!!!!

I spent the extra time contsructively....

watching an episode of WKRP in Cincinatti that I DVR'ed!

I agree!!!

they are DEFINITELY some people who need more going on in their lives to distract them from what OTHER people are doing in THEIR lives!!

Top technology companies erased most of the posts and videos on their services from Alex Jones, the internet’s notorious conspiracy theorist, thrusting themselves into a fraught debate over their role in regulating what can be said online.

Apple, Google, Facebook and Spotify severely restricted the reach of Mr. Jones and Infowars, his right-wing site that has been a leading peddler of false information online. Mr. Jones and Infowars have used social media for years to spread dark and bizarre theories, such as that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax and that Democrats run a global child-sex ring. Apple made its move on Sunday and the others followed on Monday.

Apple on Sunday removed five of the six Infowars podcasts on its popular Podcasts app. Commenting on the move, a spokeswoman said, “Apple does not tolerate hate speech.”
Facebook, Spotify and Google’s YouTube site, which removed some Infowars content last week, followed with stronger measures on Monday. Facebook removed four pages belonging to Mr. Jones, including one with nearly 1.7 million followers as of last month, for violating its policies by “glorifying violence” and “using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants.” Facebook said the violations did not relate to “false news.”

YouTube terminated Mr. Jones’s channel, which had more than 2.4 million subscribers and billions of views on its videos, for repeatedly violating its policies, including its prohibition on hate speech. Spotify cited its own prohibition on hate speech as the reason for removing a podcast by Mr. Jones.

“To many, Jones is a bad joke,” said the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups. “But the sad reality is that he has millions of followers who listen to his radio show, watch his ‘documentaries’ and read his websites, and some of them, like Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, resort to deadly violence.”

Mr. Jones and Infowars did not respond to requests for comment.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

it is about time that some of these tech companies that alex jones has been using as a platform to spread his hate speech,and fear mongering took a stand and did the right thing,and took their platforms away from him!!



[ NOW,if we could only get 'twitter' to shut down donald trump's account??!!??!! ]

if you are still asking those questions at this point,i don't believe that you really want to know the answer,so trying to explain it to you would be an exercise of futility,and I am not going to waste any of my time playing childish games that people use when they cant rationally defend their opinions.

all I can do is tell you that google is your friend,and you should learn how to do a little bit of research if you want anyone to consider your opinions are valid,because when you ask questions like THOSE,then all you are doing is inviting ridicule to both YOU,and your opinions!

I saw those movies...

they were called 'escape from new york',and 'escape from L.A."

it didn't seem like they helped fix the government/the united states,cuz the same stuff was STILL going on.

I think the only thing it helped was kurt russel's career.

George Carlin also did a bit about something like that on one of his comedy specials..
I think that I liked HIS ideas better. lol

the difference between what happened at the 'trump tower' meeting,and the 'steele dossier' is that the steele dossier was handed over to AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES,by the BRITISH INTELLIGENCE AGENCY,about what they had discovered in their investigation into trump and his suspicious business deals with Russian oligarchs,and the OFFICIAL investigation by OUR GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES proceeded from there...,it wasn't a clandestine meeting between somebody who WASNT part of any government intelligence agency running for an elected office,and an agent of a foreign government.

I think that most cities already have something like that,,,

it is called 'crimestoppers'!

[at least down here it is...it might be called something else where you live.]

I went to sleep a little early last night,so my circadian rhythm wouldn't let me go back to sleep.

stupid circadian rhythm!!!

no CHITTIN',
OR
CHATTIN'?

what is this site coming to???
