        They want a list because there’s a zero percent chance that they’ll successfully manipulate public opinion through social media.

        You can’t put us all on the little list by definition, because then it would be the big list.

          This is not about data analysis. This is about justifying oppression. And if it comes to “we have found you all to be dangerous” the conclusion is “we need to oppress you all”

          Wait, how? Because I only know about statistics and you usually want a comprehensive list to work with either partially or in bulk.

            I think the point of big data is to collect enough information to extrapolate other qualities about whatever you want to know, so if everyone is on the list then you have no patterns to go off of besides “on Earth” or “in X country”.

            Side comment: if 99% of people were on the list, the the govt could just oppress everyone with a 99% accuracy rate. It’s entirely possibly they could pick a proportion drastically lower than 99%

          Facts should no longer be admitted or confirmed, which is why they are facts. It would have been different if, for example, some disinformation campaigns had been launched afterwards in an attempt to conceal the facts. So it was accepted, but attempts were made to shift the focus onto the “traitors to the country”… with success… sad that Americans who care about Americans are being hunted by Americans globally.

          They also admitted it much earlier, but without the words that actions conveyed instead.

              It has been confirmed and proven by the facts - nothing more needs to be admitted. Apart from that… James Clapper has already been forgotten. Who made fun of it and what else was going on… Nothing more had to be admitted.

    Health Insurance companies are parasites who only exist to cause people misery in exchange for profit so… everyone?

      I think it’s probably closer to 99%. Basically, anyone who isn’t a high-level executive in the health insurance industry.

    The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It’s your first amendment right, use it. Don’t comply in advance.
