Their stated mission is the tremendous Internet potential that I myself first noticed on Ask.com;
“...harnessing social media to bring empathy and understanding to all, through the power of anonymously shared human experience….Doing good for the world was not a side effect, it was the goal.”
But with millions of users, EP was “being challenged like never before. Governments and their agencies are aggressively attacking the foundations of internet privacy with a deluge of information requests, subpoenas, and warrants.”
EP describes a cat-&-mouse situation with government chasing the Bad Apples, who “are better able to cover their tracks and evade user bans by using mobile and encryption networks, and they use information to exploit the trust of others through social engineering.”

Does he believe a few words from him will seal the deal?

Per Eric "my father and I are very close. I talk to him a lot. We're pretty inseparable"! Who is kidding whom? Either Eric is the favorite son and Donald Jr is chopped liver or Donald Jr is lying.

He ran to the White House like a giggly little boy all aflutter so he could suck up to the big guy. This is not a suitable head of anything. He is not a suitable flunky pol either. He is an embarrassment and should be ashamed of his sabotaging his own committee like that. Is that the best the Republicans have got? This is it? Geez get new people in and train them how to be honorable politicians for heaven's sakes. If they don't have common sense maybe they don't belong in politics at all. less

Dems are so powerful that they can effect any result at any time for any reason whether they hold the majority in the House/Senate and have a Dem prez in the White House or not. I think Republicans should be very scared.

I called her on the fourth day to visit her and then she was released, so never got to.. she did not return my call when I inquired to see her that day. I then sent her a caring , inquiring message on facebook the next month wondering if I could visit her to help her/see her at her home, no reply for weeks, and still no reply. I then texted her when she went back into the hospital last month for just one day with pain, and no reply. It made me feel very low, and sad, seeing her replying to her friends on FB but not me, and to not have acknowledged my text either, it made me feel quite low= now she could be having the thought 'she didn't call me' b/c she is very into the phone, but she has kept me on the phone for HOURS before, talkiing only of herself, and even when I had to go, wouldn't let me. I have NeVER been a phone person, and my inquiries were heartfelt to her even wondering when I could see her- I have an upcoming function to see her daughter soon, and she wi... less

And this is interesting because it highlights exactly the problem, there seems little opportunity for reasoned debate, in a climate where when one attempts to do that, one is shouted down or accused of really quite unpleasant things.. and that is something that is happening on a wide-scale, here - I had no idea, of course about elsewhere, just knew that here, it's increasingly acknowledged that people are afraid to talk about it..., I won't dwell on my own experience on here, in many ways that's irrelevant but that it highlighted exactly the point made in the radio prog - that it seems we cannot have even a reasoned debate without being accused of things. ... less
