spreading hate and lies and .. and...

Ummm. Wait a sec here.

Lessee, Iraq buying yellowcake. Lets just start with *THAT* one. The data is only metadata, and is being collected for your protection. Putin caused the Ukraine. Daesh has nothing to do with Bandar (Bush) alSaud or CIA actions in Syria. China is making plastic rice. Love Canal was an accident. The Argentine government was going to invade Chile. Hell I can go back to the 20's if we'd like.

How about we look at *who* is firing this crap up?

Yes, there is all sorts of horrid crap on social media, hate, lies, misogyny, racism, anti-vaxx crap, monsanto love stories, bullshit statistics about all sorts of stupidity. I'm sure that people eventually report most of it. At some point the worst of it gets removed.

However, our GOVERNMENTS should not be pulling media into accusatory public shaming events when they've a concrete, well documented history of lying through smiling teeth about what they are doing, who they are doing it to, and what they're doing it with.

People should be voting with their (feet, cash, adblockers). That is the *ONLY* mechanism that corporates will *EVER* understand.

Governments, well it seems that they only ever understand pitchforks and torches.
