  • Facebook whistleblower says Congress needs to act to stop a growing crisis

    sbdude said:
    "Facebook's products harm children" In my opinion, spot on! Of course rather than yet another (10,000 page) law, a much easier solution is for the parents to: 1 - Not allow their children to use social media. 2 - Lead by example and not use social media. Without all the willing participants in the social media fiasco, there would be no social media.

    Precisely this. There is a severe lack of personal responsibility in dealing with social media. It shouldn't be the government's job to tell you to put down the phone, or for facebook to stop breeding hate. Sadly, without personal responsibility, society deems the government responsible for protecting us from ourselves.
    While I will agree with you 100%, no one under 18 (the age of consent) should be allowed to join anything without their parents/guardians documented affirm consent.

    These social media companies Terms of Service are really contracts and no MINOR can legally enter into or agreed to a lawful contract with written agreement from their parent(s) or guardian(s) written approval. However, social media companies seems to behave as if parents are not responsible for their minors because it is socially acceptable to not seek the parent(s)’ documented approval before allowing minor to venture into the unregulated wilds of social media.

  • Facebook shows signs of life after hours-long outage

    Can you say possible destruction of evidence? 

    How convenient that Facebook goes down the day after a whistle blower goes on 60 Minutes and the day before she is scheduled to be grilled by Congress on the very same practices she exposed to the public via the press, TV and the release of FaceBook internal documents. 

    What the old saying “the day after 60 Minutes or the Washington Post exposes you, you can expect someone in your exposed company to be handcuffed and doing the ‘prep’ walk in front of the camera in short order”. 

    Good luck ‘FaceCrook’! I don’t think we lost the data in the server reset is going to be a possible excuse this time! Someone going to spend time with their new friends in the real BIG HOUSE…..

  • Epic vs. Apple App Store trial ruling: What developers, big tech, and analysts think

    Other than server fees, how do you make money off of free to play when the app uses another payment system for in app purchase.
    Easy, you charge every app that uses a third pay payment system outside of the AppStore a monthly per user fee for use of Apple’s API’s along with an additional monthly developer fee to cover business related expenditures such as R&D, use of intellectual  property, etc.  

    This price has to be paid up front or no listing of your Free App that charges iOS user outside of the App Store for anything period.

    As an Apple shareholder, I say no more freeloading by Netflix and others on iOS devices. Pay me and my fellow shareholders upfront for our iOS investment!

    With all due respect, we thank you for removing weird comments! However, the last word of your first sentence does nothing to discourage anyone who incantation is too make inappropriate comments. 😎
