I know it's very confusing to a lot of people, but USA stands for United States of America. It's also the only country in the world that has America in its name.

I really appreciate the resources provided. But I'm not a fan of the website suggesting that I want/need privacy because I have something to hide.

Spike Lee not taking responsibility? I'm shocked.

I really don't appreciate an autoplay video that I can't pause.

Why force me to watch it? It's not supposed to be an ad. Let me watch at my leisure, or at least let me stop it..

I expect Facebook to archive my profile and everything I've ever posted there or publicly. I don't really expect them to archive my private chat and not give me a way to delete it.

I guess they want to make sure that there is a permanent log of everything. Yet another reason not to use Facebook.

Another fun fact:

Even if you delete a photo from an album, Facebook doesn't get rid of it immediately. I know this because I was able to retrieve a photo that I'd seen in someone's album, a day after it had been removed from that album, by retrieving the image url in my browser history.

I don't think you can remove the whois information. It is a matter of public record, and they can and do archive it.

From what I've seen in the past, domaintools will not be willing to remove this information.

How many of 500+ people will have negative experiences which they will share online?

That's the danger of an event like that.

HBO needs to make all their shows available online for a fee. Just imagine how many monthly subscribers they would have, if they could provide access to all their shows.
