> I would like someone from Google, Facebook, et al to testify under oath that there is no direct access. Do you really have that much faith in those companies? Seems like some kind of super-power to me.

Don't take this personally (you're in good company...): We need to STOP saying: 1. "I'm so not surprised" 2. "That has zero chance of happening" What we NEED to do is: 1. Think about things we CAN do 2. Fi
