“When a company is able to establish a dominant market position, consumers lose meaningful choices. You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections - the presence you’ve spent years establishing on the world’s dominant social network?” WorldYearsMightAblePoliticalChoicesSocialLosesCompanyOpinionSharePositionConnectionsMeaningfulPostsConsumersDominantSocial NetworkPolitical Opinions Author:Al Franken

“In the Tea Party narrative, victory at the polls means a new American revolution, one that will "take our country back" from everyone they disapprove of.
