In Pavel's interview with Tucker Carlson, he mentions how he (VK) met with Zuckerberg, and he told them new features they were planning. And Zuck nicked them all.

Zuck is on a major PR campaign drive, I would not trust a word he says.

Are you saying Zuck is lying about being asked by the White House to censor content or regretting it?

Neither, he is getting onto the bandwagon that he (and his well paid pr team) know is populist.

He is a billionaire who is hated, and now has changed his image entirely. Following in Elon's path.

People tend not to change their colours at a later age, and he is a cutthroat business guy.

Lots of ongoing commentary over the years that he really wants to be President.

Why, does PRISM need a more direct funnel to the data spigot?

No, because he's only old enough to be my parent rather than my great grandparent.

Kamala is 59. Is there a problem with 59?

She's still older than average (which is 55 yrs): https://potus.com/presidential-facts/age-at-inauguration/

I don't think that age is everything, but I feel like it is a significant factor.

At the very least, it is very frustrating as a younger person that the vast majority of our lawmakers are _very_ old. This has (historically, but not recently) been more of a problem with congress: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/aging-congress-boomers/

As a (just) boomer, I'd be in favor of having the voting age lowered to 16. Certainly there are many reckless, feckless and uninformed 16 year olds, but the standard of debate coming from the seniors in the room is horrifying and needs to be diluted by the people who have the biggest stake in our planet's future.

Why would lowering to 16 from 18 make a difference? Plenty of data out there shows that age demographic is the least likely to show up on election day and vote.
