[QUOTE="Ringo84, post: 74068993, member: 157762"] So... Collusion never happened, but Hillary did it. But Russia helped Donny win, and that means they're good and are to be thanked for their efforts. And how dare you stop Donny from getting foreign help, because it's not a crime! Did I get all the nonsense right? It's so hard to keep track; the excuses and rationalizations change every five minutes or so. Getting back to Zuck, though: he's right and he's wrong. Facebook probably [I]does[/I] need the government's help to curb fake news. Cyber warfare is....warfare; a real attack on our sovereignty (as opposed to scary brown people traveling in a c-c-c-[I]caravan[/I]! Which is not) that should be dealt with. But at the same time, Silicon Valley has shown far too much willingness to unquestioning host whatever hateful and/or malicious and/or fake malarkey on their sites, and are very slow to respond when people want the hatemongers to be taken down. One thing I'm fairly confident that left and right can probably see eye to eye on is a) Silicon Valley has far too much sway over our lives. Our search results (generally) come from Google, our email comes from Google, we shop at Amazon, we communicate via Facebook/Twitter/etc. It's only going to get worse with the advent of self-driving cars and the like b) Big Silicon Valley firms need to be broken up so that they [I]don't[/I] hold so much absolute power.
