Maybe I missed it but.... How does Sam feel about this being killed off? I am sure he is sad it didn't get to take off.
Again, boils down to how much you trust the government. You just trust it much more than others (myself included). I'm just not sure how anyone can shrug it off as "not much potential for government overreach" when the person in charge was talking about wanting the ability to add context to tweets.
Obviously the potential for overreach was there. The thread wasn't about potential, though. It was about gross, shocking, outrageous violations of the Constitution (none of which anyone could identify).
No one would ever think to use the irs as a weapon.
No one would ever think to use the fbi as a weapon
No one would ever think to use rules and regs as a weapon from any number of government agencies
We are from the government and we're here to help you. Have some government cheese...and a blanket.
