Yeah, the politics around Facebook are tiring...turns out when they gave everybody the power to connect they also gave the tinfoil hats that power

We have two portals here at home and almost everyone I know who wants to stay in touch with their families has one too. Specially the kids love it!

Facebook's $5B fine and current antitrust investigation are far beyond the realm of tinfoil hats.

This is a site in which Breitbart, a well know white nationalist propaganda site is marked as a trusted source for news. Zuck has met privately with conservative pundits. There is reason to be alarmed and skeptical of Facebook.

Stop! Don't mark them as reputably just because they meet with conservatives.

Breitbart is not reliable, and that should reduce Facebook's trust, but meetings conservatives should not. Conservatives have long accused facebook of ignoring them, so when facebook stops ignoring them, we should not demonize them.

Everything is fine if you just remove sentence 2.
