I don't think everyone always breaks the speed limit, but probably they do at some point during every journey. They knew this went they introduced the 20mph speed limit but they introduced it anyway because they thought it would reduce the average speed by a few mph.

But what browser should I use? Do I have to check the politics of every employee or volunteer?

How do you make steel for wind turbines without fossil fuels? How do you build a nuclear power station without fossil fuels?

I remember it filling groups with non-text posts which could not be read by Usenet clients, among other things.

I'm not on Facebook but I know people who are, and they are just ordinary people who made a poor choice and didn't read the terms and conditions. It's all those people who you are excluding, not just Facebook employees.

Suspending them before they have actually done anything wrong is a bit like a pre-crime.

Remember what Google Groups did to Usenet? We should be wary.

If it is software how do you know who has implemented it and whether the instance respects privacy?
