Facebook to form its own PAC to back political candidates

mercurypdx:

“FB PAC will give our employees a way to make their voice heard in the political process by supporting candidates who share our goals of promoting the value of innovation to our economy while giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected,” said a spokesman via email.

This couldn’t possibly end badly at all…

I don’t know whats wrong with Facebook being realistic. Google wants to destroy it just like Microsoft wanted to destroy Google (as they are trying right now).  Facebook also needs to make money to re-pay investors, which it won’t be able to do is constrained by others.

"Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill. And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them. So we are working with the Police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality."

UK Prime Minister David Cameron

Freedom is fine until it infringes on your own power.
