Test accounts which ended up getting deleted before (presumably) auth worked.
Holy smokes I just had flashbacks to working at a place that tested things in production and ended up with a couple of these production-db IDs in the code. Shudders

This is a tiresome argument. The first amendment guarantees freedom of the press (ie, the printing press). The clear aim is to guarantee not just the right to speech, but also the right to _distribute_ that speech. In fact, without that the right to freedom of speech is of limited value. This doesn't mean Facebook couldn't ban political ads, but it does mean it would be unreasonable for the government to do so.
And yet we regulate swear words and nude imagery on broadcast television because the airwaves are a limited public resource. First ammendment absolutism in the face of rapidly changing technology is way more tiresome.

and after having the "paid by Zuckerberg" confirmation that this was a malicious account, they didn't revoked approval of the other ads. Triple ouch.
Tech company doesn't give a f#$% what it's advertising as long as it's getting paid. Film at 11. I mean props to them for doing this to show it so blatantly, but is anyone really surprised? Nobody cares, and why should they from a business standpoint? The only way to make something a priority is to make the consequences so harsh that you'll catch the attention of upper management.

> (More than NPM FYI) I found your claim hard to believe so I went digging but couldn't find any recent resource on the total number of downloads npmjs.org handles per month. I could have sworn they used to publish aggregate stats prominently on their home page somewhere ... but can't seem to find it. Anyway, aggregating* the download numbers of just 12 of the top npm packages comes to about ~504.4m, or half a billio…
it cannot be more than npm. npm is basically 1 line of code = 1 package

Kaepernick is banned from the NFL in the same sense I am - no team wants him because he isn't good enough for the price he wants.
False. 50% of the current starting QB's are trash. Kaepernick has proven success.

>...political advertising... This is a euphemism for quid pro quo bribery. The Europeans and other democracies recognize it as such. It is clear that the Western Democracies have at least as much freedom of speech as the US. For example, they do not have leaders who get sport figures professionally banned for what is conspicuously an instance of unpaid political speech.
Absolutely not. Advertising is not bribery and the European region is nowhere near the freedom of speech principles of the US. It may feel the same, either because you have never said anything or have never been heard by anyone who cares, but there are countless examples of prosecution that would be summarily dismissed here in the States. Professionally "banned" is not a free speech issue in the slightest. Athletes c…
The only reasonable explanation is to have the politician be indebted no mater who it happens to be.
And the Kaepernick issue can't be a mere employee-employer issue if the president claims to have gotten him fired by threatening the NFL with brand destruction[1].
And if the same group then calls the press the "enemy of the people" but defends receiving enormous donations as devotion to free speech seems, it seems disingenuous.
If, instead of you home country, say Saudi Arabia were doing these things, we would say they making great steps towards freedom.

The best solution is to pass an amendment to the constitution to adjust free speech exceptions? If thats the best solution, I don't think i want to know what the worse one is...
yeah! because changing a document that was written hundreds of years ago to suit the highly changing landscape that is human society is a terrible idea........
Amazing how we can change so much but still be the same.

Seeing as Experian leaked every single SSN in America to hackers, I'd say a SSN is a very small hurdle. Even if it had to match, which I'm sure it does not have to match the disclosure name - just the name of the payor.
>Experian Don't you mean Equifax? Or have I missed something. Google doesn't show anything interesting...

There are many positions in the US that are not elected positions. When's the last time you voted for a supreme court justice?
Bureaucrats make laws in Europe. The Supreme court does not. Big difference.
