#6They seem kinda desperate with all their recent plans. It is such a shame, they make good money and could really make a difference with more patience.
Online Gambling? What a joke.

#7Am I right in thinking that Facebook is an American business doing something in another country which is illegal in the US? Internet gambling was banned in the US, right? And that's fine with US authorities? But if a foreign business, like say Megaupload, does something which is illegal in the US, but in a foreign country all hell breaks loose.
So: US company + breaks US law + foreign country = OK Foreign company + breaks US law + foreign country = not OK
Is this not a double standard? I mean, Im still not seen google's torrent search being attacked by the FBI or who ever.
Don't get me wrong here, I don't support laws banning gambling, and I'm all for facebook, or who ever, having gambling operations where they like, but it doesn't sit right give the over all context at all.
Must have missed something, cant imagine US authorities really behaving in such a biased way.

Online gambling is a pretty fat market, worth over a billion bucks a year. You say joke, businesses say smart. Essentially turning users into actual profit. And for once we get something back instead of just being a marketing platform
Certainly not expecting Zynga to take this lying down
Sorry, I misread your comment. :redface

Why is on line gambling a joke? Its a serious money spinner. Its the one thing, weidro laws aside, facebook have announced that actually makes some sense, and isn't offensive to the privacy folk.
Or are you making strange moral point bout gambling?

I think gambling is one of those dirty sources, for some it'd be like if facebook created a porn section or a dating area. Neither in themselves damaging but still socially awkward
Alternativly maybe he just doesn't see gambling as a big industry.
