I've said the same thing many many times, I can't remember the numbers but the monetization of facebook data per person (If I remember correctly from something I read a year back, I'll try to look and add it to this comment)

I came here to post this, too little to late. I don't know what they could realistically do to alter their public image at this point besides change their name possibly? I am going to continue to hate them until they stop existing, and

I am a midwest Obama voter who voted for Trump. I don't like anything about him in all honestly. I voted quite literally because of Assange. I followed each leak that was dropped religiously and had a lot of fun bonding with others who
