Facebook 'curbing' information it shares?
Not good enough! Any sharing is dubious. And making your agreement a condition of being allowed to use the service can easily be gamed by Facebook & Co. See what happened to the requirement that you have to give internet sites permission to plant cookies on your computer when you access a site. It has become a pointless box-ticking exercise. Shame on regulators and their politician backers!

Facebook to double (Political?) 'Safety and Security Staff'
And there are already 10,000 staff toiling in this department - fine line divides it from (private) censorship. The future does look Orwellian! And who controls Facebook? It is an oligopoly! Who controls what you are 'fed' (yes, we are basically like animals for the 'Masters of the Universe' controlling the Web).

Facebook meddling with Media Content
It is about time that the dominating Internet Portals such as Facebook and Google are brought under democratic control. When providers have a dominant market share the Competition and Monopolies regulators should not be fobbed off with spurious arguments such as 'we must not interfere with new technologies, ie stand in the way of progress etc'. What applied to Rockefeller's Standard Oil in the early 1900s must apply to the Internet Barons today. When the providers start tinkering with the flow of news and information alarm bells should start ringing in the sleepy offices of the regulators and legislative assemblies. Naturally, the USA will not be too keen as most providers are based there but a confrontation with the lobby-infested corridors of power in Washington can not longer be avoided.
