So if this is how they're making money now...looks like money = speech once again.

This seems like a foolish idea, I can picture it now, annoying 14 year old girls using their parent's credit card to highlight their insightful status update about Drake's brilliant new album!

Oh, I see. I hadn't indeed checked back.

Ok, if bought at the 38 USD / stock then.... A bit of a fizzle. I'd just dump them anyway seeing how FB is a massive bubble. I guess people weren't dumb enough afterall.

I think my wife mentioned it opened at $38 and ended at $42 today. That's... not much.

Does it bother anyone else that people make/lose millions upon millions of dollars based simply on speculations?

It bothers a lot of people. It's why they occupied Wall Street!

i suspect the demand for the personal information of individuals is not going to go down anytime soon

J: Sir, I would call it content distributor instead, Sir. Reminds me more at the DRM stuff from Microsoft driven a decade ago; that one about darknet and content thing still well hosted at mit.edu, ya know.

Let me clearify my thoughts like this:
