“It is time to break up Facebook,” writes one of its founders (not that founder). nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opi…
This oped, from one of Facebook’s co-founders, is scathing.

“Mark is a good, kind person. But I’m angry that his focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opi…
“I’m disappointed in myself and the early Facebook team for not thinking more about how the News Feed algorithm could change our culture, influence elections and empower nationalist leaders.”
nytimes.com/2019/05/09/opi…
”And I’m worried that Mark has surrounded himself with a team that reinforces his beliefs instead of challenging them.”

Being entitled to an opinion doesn’t make it asinine. So the next person with a cockamamie theory on how Don Jr. being subpoenaed is a ruse, I’m going to virtually strangle —even if it’s a ToS violation. All others will be blocked. Plenty of GOP stupidity. Dems don’t a Q chapter.
Burr is a bad actor, a schmuck. He’s been on my complicit list since 2016.

But the GOP message — from trump to McConnell to Graham to House Judiciary Rs — is simple: Case Closed.

Subpoenaing Don Jr. —no matter what comes of it— couldn’t be more at odds.
Thank you for those who flagged that Burr isn’t running for re-election in 2022. I missed that.

What if...

Cersei’s defeated. Neither Daenerys nor Aegon (aka Jon) Targaryen take the throne.

Arya’s carrying Gendry’s child, direct descendant of King Robert, linking Houses Baratheon & Stark (the Sansa marrying Joffrey plan).

1st of its Name

Rightful heir to the Iron Throne
Now, if Dani’s carrying Jon’s child (remember the foreshadowing at the end of Season 7 when they discussed her inability to beat children and Jon pointed out she was relying on the word of a vengeful witch), THEIR child would have Targaryen & Stark bloodlines.
ALSO, don’t forget Dani’s mother, Jon’s mother, and Cersei/Jamie/Tyrion’s mother died during childbirth. Dani & Jon during their own; Mrs. Lannister giving birth to Tyrion.

Can’t remember where I was going with this.

@RadioFreeTom expertise is not dead here at Club Acela in Penn Station...
Tom “It’s all in the Buzzer” Nichols they called him in his day.
@RadioFreeTom — one of the most engaging people on Twitter — refuses to engage me as I highlight an accomplishment very few others have achieved.

So I’m going to go for the Daily Double.

Biggest *ahas* for the week that'll probably insult most white people:

1. White men have an "un-natural" desire to control women's sexuality & bodies.

2. Certain white men are so racist...while pretending not to be...that they attack a 3-day old baby of mixed heritage.
3. White men think it's aspirational to be a "billion dollar loser" and not pay taxes to fund their country.

4. White men think black women give a care about which Dem candidate they think is most "electable" for 2020.

News flash! Black women don't care what you think.
5. White men think that it's great the Artic ice is melting to open up shorter routes to grab more people's money through trade.

Meanwhile, the rising sea levels threaten coastal cities w/ losses that will eat up the money grabbed.

Oops. White men don't think that far ahead.

If you've read my piece on why now is the time to break up #Facebook, and you want to learn more about the topics of corporate concentration and breaking up monopolies, here's a recommended reading list: medium.com/@chrishughes/a…
The best primer on the topic is "The Curse of Bigness." Written by @superwuster, it makes a case that antitrust has always been about holding the most powerful accountable. indiebound.org/book/978099974…
After reading #CurseofBigness, go deeper on the link between inequality and antitrust in a paper called “Market Power and Antitrust.” Its authors, @linamkhan and @sandeepvaheesan, have gone out of their way to make the writing accessible and lucid. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

1. NB Non-Lawyer Giving Antitrust Break up Advice: MT It’s Time to Break Up Facebook nyti.ms/2VTIy5l
2. You may want to spare yourself of the time to read this absurd manifesto. Anyone who ever tried to attack monopoly is faced with the simple fact of proving that it is a monopoly and that there are sufficient barriers to entry to allow it to continue. What is person ignores and
3. what makes @facebook management and in particular Mark Zuckerberg vulnerable to legal action is that they assisted an enemy attack the US. That is treason. Don't break up Facebook Seize it and all of Zuckerberg's assets and ban his spawn from holding any of his property.

Another bad day for #Facebook: Psych researcher Aleksandr Kogan who helped #CambridgeAnalytica mine private data from 87 million Facebook users sues FB for defamation. Almost a year to the day since we first learned of the massive privacy breach scandal, which FB blamed on Kogan.

🔴Facebook ha avuto un problema di sicurezza che ha esposto 50 mln di utenti. Altri 40 a rischio. Per questo 90 mln di utenti devono fare di nuovo il login. Storia in divenire qui comunicato Facebook newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/09/s…
Facebook dice di non sapere origine o identità degli attaccanti e di dover valutare ancora la portata, riferisce il NYT. Ad essere stati sottratti i token di accesso attraverso una vulnerabilità (che sarebbe stata chiusa) nytimes.com/2018/09/28/tec…
No accesso a password, no accesso ai messaggi privati o alle carte di credito degli utenti, ha detto Facebook in conferenza stampa, aggiungendo di stare lavorando con l’Fbi. Comunque bruttissima storia. Info via Reuters
