"But for every article about Facebook's creepy stalker behavior, thousands of other companies are breathing a collective sigh of relief that it's Facebook and not them in the spotlight. Because while Facebook is one of the biggest players in this space, there are thousands of other companies that spy on and manipulate us for profit."

I found this new information within the article to be very disturbing, and yet, there are some aspects that I'm not surprised about. I have already comprehended the fact that Google can track all of your searches and that causes ads to be related to your own interests but for media to constantly monitor my actions just from my phone? That's disturbing once you think and look into it. -
I was watching a video actually on Facebook and this couple heard about facebook stalking people so they decided to talk about cat food for 3 days with facebook open and offline then they opened it one day to cat food adds on their facebook which is really creepy to me.

What's changed a month after the Parkland shooting - CNN - 22 views

not much has changed, at least at a federal level -
It seems like there is an agreement that there needs to be a change in how firearms and school shootings are dealt with but there is disagreement as to how legislation will do that. There has been no federal reform but while there has been legislation passed in Florida, many teachers and school districts are rejecting it due to its suggestion of arming teachers. There seems to be a divide on whether guns are the problem or the people are the problem.

I understand why they wouldn't want guns, just because it is a political event and it is for the protection of the vice president. However, it does seem hypocritical that they're pro-gun when they're in the right hands, yet won't let their members carry them at the meeting. -
I don't understand why schools be afforded the same protections the VP was allowed. Where is the difference between the two? He doesn't want to put his life at danger, so why are school students forced to?
Trump's war on trans Americans is about to face a counterattack. - 1 views
-
"n the coming weeks, the administration will launch its next attack on trans rights by announcing the revocation of a landmark regulation that protects transgender people from discrimination in health care. The Department of Health and Human Services will argue that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors and hospitals from turning away transgender patients, or insurance companies from refusing to cover gender-related treatment. This time around, however, civil rights advocates are prepared to fight back. In fact, they've already laid the groundwork for a two-pronged legal attack to maintain the ban on anti-trans health care discrimination."

"Oxfam says the trend shows that the global economy is skewed in favor of the rich, rewarding wealth instead of work."

It seems that CEOs and company owners are taking wealth for themselves, rather than investing it back into their businesses. I think that, if this trend continues, it could lead to devastating effects on the economy.

I remember growing up in the 50's in Phoenix and all you could see were signs of segregation, especially in the service areas. Restaurants, service stations and the like had various signs reading "no service to coloreds" or "whites only" and this was the accepted norm. No one thought other-wise. Glad these days are over or are they really?

Texas bomber dead: Man blows himself up in dramatic standoff with FBI and police - 16 views
-
He ended up waiting until at least one person got close and blew himself up, the officer that was close got thrown back. They have stated that they are not sure if other people were helping him so they will keep looking. I personally think that he didn't want to go to jail for what he had done so he did a suicide bombing.

In the article they say that the bomber pre-setup bombs that explode when people get near them. But the article also said that they thought the bomber was targeting races such as hispanic and african american. I don't understand how the bomber could be targeting a specific race when the bombs were set up ahead of time. The article also mentions that there still might be bombs that he planted before he died, so how can he be targeting a specific race?
-
They did mention that there could be more bombs but i doubt there is. I think if there are other bombs out there then maybe it was more then a one man job.
