I don't see any of the usual suspects in this thread...interesting....
Look in a mirror. :lol:

How do they know who are duplicates? If you sign up with a different email address, how would they know? My dog has been on there for two and a half years. There are lots of fake accounts.
The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet.
It's called IP addresses. Most people have static IP addresses which most sites will use to see if you have multiple accounts. It's not dependent on your email address.

Anyway, I think virtually all large groups do things like this. It's a pretty common practice, so of course the government will do it, too.
I'm surprised. I thought they were already doing that.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that the major political parties did this the last two major elections. Well, maybe the Republicans didn't have their act together in 2008...
We can't be sure whether the first part of that statement is correct (even if it probably is), but there is no doubt that the second part is true.
Funny how it is totally believeable to you that Republicans do this but its doubtful/unsure that any other parties do this.

Who said it is doubtful that other parties do the same thing?
If the Tweedledeeblicans do it, it is likely that the Tweedledumocrats do the same.
You did when you said "We can't be sure whether the first part of that statement is correct" when quoting "There isn't a doubt in my mind that the major political parties did this the last two major elections. Well, maybe the Republicans didn't have their act together in 2008...". The first part is obviously the "There isn't a doubt in my mind that the major political parties did this the last two major elections.". The second part which you said was "no doubt true" was about the Republicans.

I don't understand your nonchalance. Don't you think it's one this if a private company/corporation does it on their own expense, and it's another if the government does it on taxpayer dime?
Are you now arguing with the fact that the government spends a lot of taxpayer money on things individual taxpayers don't like?
No, and I am not sure where your question came from to be honest.
Because you're saying it's a problem that taxpayer money is being spent on something you apparently don't agree with.
The government should govern based-on the will of the people as opposed to pushing their will onto it's people. Being fed propaganda is bad enough, but when it's being paid by tax dollars, it makes it even more repulsively worse, wouldn't you agree?
No. Will of the people doesn't mean a referendum. It means the will of the people (Congress) that the people as a whole elected
This seems to be a theme on this website:
#1- The whatever opinion a poster has, 'the people' agree with that poster.
#2- That if they actually do, somehow that trumps the will of the elected representatives. It's a democratic republic, not a pure democracy, for a reason.
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
I assume that's Kramerese for "I disagree, but I get it".
No. It means that your post makes no sense to me.
lol, well you didn't understand the one before it, so I'm not surprised.
