#Facebook's reply here is a near copy-paste of the Obama administration's response to the revelation of the NSA's unlawful mass surveillance program.
Mark seems unaware that the "false picture" defense did not do well in court. It did not do well at all:

When I get my wife a cake for her birthday, she carves out the frosting until all that remains is a sad little skeleton of barren cake.
She has invented the Minecraft of desserts.

The complicit silence as the US seeks to force the extradition of a publisher—for daring to publish true information—is even harder to justify when you discover that the FBI's star witness is an admitted fraud and child predator... who was just jailed.

Facebook is Facebook. Don't write about the name, write about what they do, because that's what matters.
Paperwork doesn't change the nature of a thing.

The distinction between neoliberal and neoconservative seems to have disappeared—the neos each push for the same self-destructive wars, corporate domination of politics, and unlimited authoritarian power.
On the issues that matter, a neo is a neo. Don't differentiate. Retaliate.

If you agreed with this, you may enjoy exploring what precisely the nature of that thing *is*:

One of the most harmful—and overlooked—media "innovations" is the practice of hiring professional (and even criminal) liars from intelligence organizations.
The world in which the nightly news is brought to you by FBI, CIA, and NSA mouthpieces is *shockingly* dystopian. twitter.com/ggreenwald/sta…

Nothing says "healthy political culture" quite like elaborate false-flag operations in a minor regional election. Wild story by @VICENews: twitter.com/cam_joseph/sta…

i say this with love:
if you got talked into exchanging your hard-earned savings for some new dog money because a meme said you'd get rich, please carefully consider your odds of outsmarting a market that sold to you its stake in *not even dog money but a CLONE of dog money*

also if you are mad at this tweet you probably need to reduce your position size.

@TheDjOblivion People can buy any garbage they want and I'm okay with it. The problem is when they get emotionally manipulated into mortgaging the farm based on a meme's worth of understanding.
If you want to drop some Happy Meals on lottery tickets, knock yourself out. But not the rent money.

Imagine killing an aid worker. Imagine killing his family too. Imagine seven of them were actually children, smiling little tots.
Then just rising from your chair to grab a coffee and saying, "mistakes were made."
This is absolutely unforgivable. twitter.com/AP/status/1455…

These bastards put Daniel Hale in prison for revealing that nine out of ten people they kill with drone strikes are bystanders, but they won't even slap somebody on the wrist when their criminal negligence buries the full ten perfectly innocent lives.

The "great works" of Bezos-money are ruthlessly unimaginative.
You could construct vertical gardens the size of skyscrapers—in the greatest cities of the world. You could colonize the ocean floor! Nothing is impossible.
But Bezos, Bezos builds a boring baby cruise ship. $500M.
