Locke them up!

@2

What, you mean immobilize them with epistemological uncertainty? Bind them with social contracts?

That seems kinda soft, I say we Hobbes 'em up.

It appears that Jay Inslee is running political ads on Facebook... how is that ok? He's Bob Ferguson's chief client.

@5 Inslee is running for a federal office (President of the United States), so his ads are not covered by Washington state transparency laws related to local political ads in local elections. Likewise, Facebook's ban on local political ads in Washington state does not appear to apply to Inslee's presidential campaign ads.

"Likewise, Facebook's ban on local political [ads, right?] in Washington state... "

Thanks for dogging these multi-national, EXCEEDINGLY Wealthy Scofflaws, Eli.
They are the Kings of Entitlement.
We did NOT elect these mofos.

This is how Corporations rule the World.
They just fucking TAKE IT.

Will we?

"... because the companies have banned local political ads in Washington state, they're not subject to this state's strict disclosure laws—even though the companies, despite their bans, have collectively sold hundreds of political ads, worth thousands of dollars... "

I can't decide if that lawyer logic's Orwellian, Lewis
Carrollian, or Joseph Hellerian (Catcha 22).

"... high-powered lawyers for both Facebook and Google ..." live in a fantasy world, soon to be propped up by a vast array of far far FAR right wing pro-Corporate judicial activists.

Which is all well and good, I suppose, for those who love some good Hard, Corporate rule.

We must be diligent and never grow weary
until unapproved political speech is stamped out where ever it lurks

Not to worry -- we have Corporate Speech
which buys all the Politicians it requires
to grease its gilded bootstraps into
Perpetuity.

MOVE To AMEND.

And, let's be done with this
nasty Corporate Fiction
we, the People've been sold --
Corporate "Personhood."

'Cause Corps AIN'T Peeps.

Why couldn't Zucc just follow the damn state disclosure laws?

Thank You for the great coverage and filling the gaps of things I have "heard" .
