Forrest’s Facebook fight dropped by Australian prosecutors (www.watoday.com.au)

Man, first the Stokes Stoush, now the facebook right hook. Twiggys making enemies with all the big media companies.

I haven't read why the public prosecutor isn't pursuing this. I'm sure it'll be some reasonable reason due to some legislation the prosecutors can't get around. Or something to that effect.

But this case seems emblimatic of the corporate geared legislative structure the five-eyes countries citizens have had foisted upon them. Yet again an obviously in the wrong company is walking away laughing as their pockets jingle, while the damage caused by their products to third parties goes largely unrestrained. Do we really want to carry on down this path?

For context this morning i've also been listening to Ralph Nader, so thats where my minds at right now.

Trying to talk to a human at the big tech companies is nigh impossible these days. It's actually quite concerning how unaccountable they have become. If a billionaire can't do it, what chance do us commoners have?

Yeah true, i'm no IT guy, so in general i assumed it was always near impossible to talk with a human.

I'd argue they've always operated with a lack of accountability. The key difference, like always in power relationships, the power differential now is far more noticeable than a decade ago.
