They don't care who confuses anything with whatever. They only care about $$$$$$$

Don't they have to be concerned about potential 'anti-tech' legislation ?
I've given up on Facebook. The environment is so incredibly toxic. I doubt that any of that would help simply because people have gotten lazy in finding extremely Simple Solutions to incredibly complex problems. Facebook seems to be feeding that tendency in people.

. . . good that you have 'given-up' -- I have never 'given-in' to FB in the first place 
@FearlessFly I still may use Facebook a bit to post soft fluffy stuff and keep up with family. But most of my time on Facebook was spent in jail. Lol! I never have learned how to keep my mouth shut!

I've never seen The Onion stories forwarded as if they were real -- Onion seems better at making their stories funny enough that you can tell it's satire.
