From a scala of 1 to Guts, how hard do you imagine Nex will explode in rage and hunt Caladbolg down when he's about to take his children?
Especially considering Serin awakened and could also be taken away by Caladbolg.
I just want Nex to be happy.
No Happiness for saviors
What does /a/ think about the reveal that Xix might be Noche.
I was lost how Nin was his son after all and what his mother's plan was trying to accomplish.
She was in bed with Serin most probably.
>she was in bed with Serin
I don't remember who is who and what is what at this point kek, I just watch it for nex suffering.
Noche was only mentioned two times. One recently and once in Immortal Regis.
He was an Undead Human King like Nex that eventually turned insane when Caladbolg possessed him.
Nex could have been nicer to Ninoorta.
oh yeah that one. but who is caladbolg though.
Nex never did wrong Ninoorta in any way prior to his betrayal. Nex has made it perfectly clear that he does not tolerate traitors, even if they are his own flesh and blood.
>Who is Caladbolg
>Nex never did wrong Ninoorta in any way prior to his betrayal
Well he was pretty cold towards him towards the point he even antagonized his sister.
pls no bully, all I remember is that nex is grumpy now and all his sons want him dead and incest or something with some sort of cucking I'm not sure.
>Nex never did wrong Ninoorta in any way prior to his betrayal.
Yeah no. Nex was a shit father to him and ultimately it was all his fault.
Like the author realizing no one likes Xix so she has to somehow try to make Xix relevant despite the fact she already did her best in making Xix some wolf furry spirit shit.
>All Nex fault
While it's partly his fault the bigger blame lies on everyone else that's trying to deceive him for whatever fucking reason.
God damn the author knows no one would fucking read this anymore aside for Nex.
Fuck off fujoshit. Everyone already ripped you a new asshole in previous threads.
Not Nex's fault when Nin is a beta piece of shit,
No, Nex really did try. The one who kept his distance was Ninoorta himself. He heard the rumors and saw how Nex treated Mithra because of her illness and his own insecurities lead to him misunderstanding everything.
That has nothing to do with his behaviour towards Nin.
It sure as hell has. Just read the chapter where Owen and Nex talk to each other and Nex tells him of his Prophecy and that Nex only has one son
which would be robbed from him
Read the chapters 122-125, in the flashback the one being wary and keeping his distance is Ninoorta. Nex never wanted him to commit suicide either, he would've stopped him right before it was the fact that Nin didn't explain what he was trying to do that lead to Nex getting pissed at him and wrecking his shit.
Xix has been a bit less shit in chapter 127 considering that he stopped going for muh revenge and seeing Nex true feelings.
Also being the only voice of reason and stopping Siana from shooting Nex. But I agree he was pretty shitty considering he was supposed to be MC and replace Nex early on.
>the fact that Nin didn't explain what he was trying to do that lead to Nex getting pissed at him and wrecking his shit
Well like father like son. Nex can't explain shit either and rather stays silent.
Of course he can't. He already knows how things are going to play out, he's just trying to prevent a disaster. Why does everyone seem to be so hell bent on bringing back Cal when the fucker is completely insane and a massive sadist?
Man I can't wait for the moment when Caladbolg shows his true face to everyone being so blind and being fooled by him.
Of course he can explain himself to his son at least.
When was he supposed to explain himself? Nex always had the idea in his head that he was raising another mans son and the revelation that he was indeed his son didn't come about until he impaled him twice.
He already did. Even Siana is surprised after seeing what uncle Caladbolg does to Nex.
Poor Nex, he really doesn't have anything to lose. He's just trying to save Chaos, a world he had no obligation to defend in the first place. Jae Hoon is already dead, Serin literally stabbed him in the back, the only way he can get anything done and keep his treacherous asshole subjects in line is by acting the part of a ruthless tyrant and even Depore keeps shit from him. And his final fate will be to sacrifice himself for Chaos and his two thankless children.
Summarize what happened in that link. I can't into gook nor do I believe that google translate will give any good translation.
I can't into gook either and I don't think there's any point in trying to interpret it. Just looking at the pictures should tell you what you need to know.
Nevermind there were fucking images.
Oh my fucking god Caladbolg you nigger. Nex was right all along in not trusting Caladbolg even if he behaved and looked like his brother.
>Nex was right all along
COTA summarized in one sentence.
Oh, he will explode. Just not necessarily in the way you might've liked him to.
I hope Cal turns cute again.
Lately I'm more angry with everyone who blames Nex instead of the author who keeps piling all those shits to him.
I hope evryone in this manga is hit by a bus
and Nex is the driver chuckling maniacally
I only read the prequel, can anyone tell me why and how the black haired love interest betrayed MC? I don't remember the prequel being full suffering and darkness like what I think the sequel is based on this thread.
Is Depore still best girl?
Cavalier of the Abyss is the Sequel to Immortal Regis so you better read it.
Depores best girl status is challenged by her recent
so now we have to wait 5 months for the next chapter again
Worst Korea at it again
>5 months
It's changed to a monthly shedule.
128 is already out.
I seriously hope CotA will end like SAO and have Nex dominate and crush Caladbolg mentally like Munsu did with Aji Tae
where did you find 128 all i can find is 127?
Technically only spoilers, see >>123453392
It is implied that Serin was set up, but never fully explained. I'm surprised you can say that IR wasn't full of suffering, considering how it ended and Yae Hyuk's past before becoming the Regis Nex.
>It is implied that Serin was set up
Explain or rather which chapter is this implied?
In the next coming chapters we'll learn more.
I don't know myself, I'm just repeating what I've heard from Korean readers. Supposedly the Noah clan set her up.
You mean that part where Serin is invited into Ifritas house (one page) or is there even more to come?
I hope Serin will heal Nex heart if this is the case.
>Caladbolg in Chaos
>Serin waking up from her prison/freed from the Prison
>Nex being gored up by Caladbolg
Oh boy CotA is picking up the pace, almost feels like all the wasted chapters featuring Xix and Co have never existed.
Nex is gonna fucking die isn't he. And it will be by protecting his ungrateful children that even want to kill him. Shit man it makes me sad that literally everyone is seeing Nex as a Tyrant and mass murder. The moment he realized Siana and Nin are his children, was the moment he dropped all his facade that he was forced to uphold in front of the masses.
Nex could have been a great dad forhis children but people deceiving him and literally robbing him of his children brought everything bad and the situation that Chaos is in right now along.
Nex is a true martyr. A hero among men.
Anyone knows how many chapters we are actually behind?
Author confirmed for Caladbolg.
Who else would love Nex so much they want him to suffer constantly?
The most recent Korean chap is 128
I doubt anyone would love Nex as much people do if only good things happened in his life.
People love him because despite being shat on the entire time he still is protecting everything that's dear to him along with an otherworldly shithole that deserves being destroyed by Caladbolg.
God bless who ever took up translating again.
It's still Mangacow doing the translation.
But at least we are finally almost up to the Raws. God damn 2015 was saved by this alone.
So let me get this straight.
Nin was Serin's shild all along, but was raised by Ifrita, he looked nothing like his mother, but being undead he could atopt traits from other races quite easily and made to look part of the Noah clan.
After suicide, his hair reverted back to black.
Nex thought all along he was dealing with some other guys kid.
This is some wacko shit
What am I looking at
Is this inspired by berserk or something?
That asspull was pretty retarded, so I'm just going to ignore it.
We've known this for a long time, Just used Nins blood to pass that test.
We knew he was his son, we didn't know he actually was Nex and Serins son. Opening the seal would have worked either way.
What the fuck is Xix then? Chopped liver? He looks like Serin, she left him with Semek and his name is the one Nex and Serin decided on.
Did Serin have a multiple birth?
It's possible he's actually Ifrita's legit son.
No one fucking knows.
The closest thing we have on his identity is that he seems to be related to Noche the Undead Human King.
in b4 it was Nex father and Noche was Astarothes husband
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Miya wasn't even Ifrita's daughter.
She's probably legitimately the daughter between Nex and Ifrita considering her weakness. The reason why Nin isn't so weak is because he was born between the two people that formed the Necromancer contract.
This isn't on hiatus yet?
I lost track after the MC became some evil dude, locked serin in somewhere, and married a bitch that had a son with her brother.
You should motherfucking catch up nigga.
>Nex pulling an Abrahamic God on his own son
Nex is originally just a human.
So Nex is going to be NTR'd even by his own son?
I don't give two fucks because I just want hi to say fuck off and return to Earth to live his life correctly with true friends, while the other world is just being nuked by alien force caladbolg.
So was Noche Caladbolg couldn't corrupt him so he possessed him.
>So Nex is going to be NTR'd even by his own son?
What are you even talking about. Xix ain't his son and he has no other.
Caladbolg cannot corrupt humans, they are the original "night clan" and that is why he prefers night clan hosts, because they make the best vessels. Yae Hyuk (Nex) was slated to be the next host when Caladbolg awoke, but then Jae Hoon appeared due to Serin's intervention and Cal took over him instead. The result was a yandere Caladbolg who made Nex the center of his twisted affection. Noche was just bonkers though, even Caladbolg is afraid of him.
>Noche was just bonkers
The chapters claimed he got possessed by Caladbolg
Yes, but if Caladbolg himself is fearful of him and Noche is referred to as an independent entity then one can assume that he was more than just a host. Undead king Noche was an all powerful madman and despite being the discarded shell of Caladbolg he still exists and he still commands enough power to incite fear in people.
You seem to have more knowledge about him than I do. Where did you get all these informations (Chapters would be nice)
Oski is a wildcard here, he might actually save Nex to prevent the next Maganix.
And there's no fucking way to predict what Just would do.
Are you up to date?
I have no fucking idea what Oski is going to do. He's supposed to be a good guy according to the prophecy or at least it sounds like that, but see in him in actualy action makes it seem as if he's manipulating Nex.
Yes, I only remember Noche in the recent chapters and only Depore and Caladbolg had any kind of noticable reaction towards him.
Oski's desire is to acquire all the magic stones, including Depore.
But I don't think his plan can go very well if Caladbolg shits the place up.
Well he can't really get all Magic Stones considering two were killed/destroyed. What does he even aim to do with them?
What seems to be the problem then? Caladbolg's reaction to Noche and the stories that have been told about him should tip you off.
To add it also seems he's like a devil that can only do stuff to people if it's via contract.
There might be ways to revive the stones or he might just not need all of them.
For what he wants them for, no fucking clue, I'm sure we'll find out in 100 chapters.
Maybe he wants to topple the Regis and wants to take control over Chaos directly with the powers of the seven dragon balls. Oski seems like an evil cunt on par with Caladbolg, just with a different agenda.
He can't be all that bad if he can humor Xix's "SAVE THIS ONE SAVE THAT ONE" every time.
COTA just updated. Enjoy the worst cliffhanger in the series so far.
Scanlator site
Mangacows homepage
There's Chapter 128 spoilers out.
Nex ;_;
damn nex is broken
Give link to the raw faggot
Still think everything's your daddys fault, Siana? Xix?
How much blood does this guy have?
If he ever gets out of this mess alive Serin will be sucked dry
What is Caladbolg saying
Sorry for asking for spoonfeeding, but what manwha is this? Reverse search doesn't give any results.
It has been posted several times already.
The OP even has the names of characters in it.
"You only need to look at me, Nii-chan, that demon whore is no good"
"big brother i luv u gib a hug"
Is that what he's really saying or are we just pretending he's repeating the same thing as in that garden?
He didn't go apeshit before and literally tried to kill Nex.
Nobody can read Mongol runes here, we're just making shit up
It's not making shit up when it fits the character
Post more anon
Best brother
I bet it was Caladbolg that was at fault for Nex and Serin splitting up.
So who will kill Cal?
Looking at the spoilers Nex doesn't seem up to the task.
Surprise Tweest, it was actually Iffrita and Cal working together.
What's up with Iffrita anyway? She was really cute in Immortal Regis and why did she fuck Mikhail out of nowhere?
So he has good intentions but seems cruel?
You can't kill Cal, only seal him.
The poor dolt that's gonna be the next Regis is gonna have a hard life.
Everything was Serin's fault in the first place.
It's probably right considering Cal's character. Funny thing how Siana and Nin are still kicking when uncle Cal wants Nex all to himself.
Also DONATE TO THE GOLDEN COW, FAGGOTS.
The raw provider dropped cota and now mangacow is our only source.
난저번처럼 혼자 온게 아니야.
그게무슨 뜻인지 있지?
난카오스의 신.
형에게서 왕권을 빼앗 것도 가능해.
Basically, he's saying he's the god of chaos, that he's made everything.
Last page probably says something like he's going to dethrone Nex.
Whoever wields Semek since it's the only thing that can apparently kill Caladbolg.
Pretty much, he's the only thing keeping the Night at bay. His actions are for the most part necessary because people are apparently retarded and have less understanding of what Caladbolg is capable off compared to someone from Earth.
I don't know man. The author's suffering boner has been creating so many inconsistencies the story falls apart.
In the end just enjoy the ride.
I felt Iffirita was even best girl in the prequel.
because Nex wouldn't fuck her and her clan was disrespected by most people.
She got NTR'd hard, that's what happened.
The only retarded thing was the asspull that Nin is Serin and nex child and the explanation of "Implanting shit will make you turn into a blue eyed dragon instead of a dark haired gook"
>Last page
You've got to be kidding me. Every fucking chapter at this point is a cliffhanger.
She was in love with Nex and walked in on him fucking Serin.
>Cliffhangers until Nex or Cal dies
Fuck you mongol japan
And after that no more cliffhangers or what?
You're being delusional anon.
Damn, I can't remember what that guy down in the Abyss that met Nin actually did, what's his history with Nex? Musn't be all that peachy if he feels the need to spread cancer through Merkawa
Apparently he had two Magic Stones that got corrupted by Caladbolg and he to got the taint of Caladbolg.
Nex forced him to kill both Magic Stones. I guess Nex kept him in his prison in case he gets his hands on the other Magic Stones that were corrupted (like Nirvana) to force him to destroy them too.
Also what's with these retarded captchas.
*he too
Are undead immune to corruption?
Only Humans
Xix is immune, ain't he? Ain't that more proof one of his parents is human.
At least it makes more sense than Xix == Noche
Siana's heart throws all this speculation into the fire, is his immunity a result of her human blood or not?
Yes, yes I know a new heart doesn't mean new blood, this is a gook manga, author don't care--
Noche was also Human. Maybe he fucked some bitches and Xix is his son.
Wait, how old is Noche?
A gorillion years old. He isn't called "Ancient King" for nothing.
I really want to know Noches Necromancer is.
Probability of a happy end: Tumbling down
Why would he have a son that's 15 years old?
This is starting to make less sense than FF8's plot
I'm just speculating. The only thing we know is he's related to Noche.
Serin is the sexies slut in the series, look at that chest.
But Depore is the sexiest.
Plus, not a slut.
So this is the end of Nex and now Xix takes over as MC once again?
Depore is used goods to Noche
>Actually thinks Nex is gonna die right there and now.
He still didn't keep his promise to Serin.
Why would Serin leave fucking Semek with Xix if Xix was Noche or his reincarnation or whatever?
Like to me it would make sense that Ninoorta is Noche instead.
Ninoorta is the only one who is suddenly an undead without a necromancer in sight.
Plus it's more drama for Siana to believe that Ninoorta is her brother since she didn't hear any of the other stuff that confirmed Xix for being her brother. Plus this is the first Xix has heard of Siana having possible relations to him.
Why is Osky fucking with everyone?
She was used by Noche and Serin's sister. She is a slut.
>Ninoorta is the only one who is suddenly an undead without a necromancer in sight.
Are you retarded? He's the son of Serin and Nex of course he's undead.
Did they finally start translating it again?
>Why is Osky fucking with everyone?
Well you don't get the title "Sage" for nothing.
What if Xix is
Cals and Serins child?It's so stupid it could work.
Has it ever been confirmed that an undeads child is an undead?
Why isn't Siana an undead?
honestly the truth will be stupid no matter what it is.
I forgot, do we know any of Nex and Serin's children 100%?
>Why isn't Siana Undead
We know next to nothing about her original body.
Also Mia is Undead too and needs the blood of Nex to come by.
The prophecy about Nex having only one son and that he will be between him and Serin fucked up their plan whatever it was.
Neither Serin nor Ifrita knew about prophecy and that they couldn't fool Nex, especially true for Ifrita.
Serin is dumb but she isn't an NTR'ing whore.
Nex ;_;
The important part of the Prophecy was that the child of Nex would be robbed of him which is why he believed that Nin could never be his son because she ran away with Xix who Nex thought was his son.
Sounds like something Cal would do to prove a point though.
>Can't defeat Nex the regular way
>Literally everyone needs to hurt his feeling to get a cheap shot
That and that is was impossible for him to have a son with Iffrita.
Actually why do Xix and Cal look so similar suddenly. It's really fucking weird.
It's hair style mostly, but they're wearing similar clothes too.
Coincidence, I am sure.
This is just a what if, but what if Xix is not really related to Nex. But is just an undead Serin created to stay with and protect Siana. Knowing shit was about to go down, Serin created him so her daughter wouldn't have to be alone. And that was why she left semek with Xix before being captured.
Since he opened the seal I believe Xix is related to past Regis, Noche and has no relation with Nex
But what if Noche has relations to the Demon Clan nobody knew and Nex inherited something from becoming an undead of a Demon Clan Necromancer.
It was never actually explained why a Human turned Undead is so powerful in Nex case, Depore isn't the only reason.
Serin is about to give birth here, and comes to Ifrita with some kind of arrangement.
Where she raises Serin and Nex's son as her own in exchange for something, being empress maybe.
Why Ifrita would help her at all I have no idea.
Knowing that her son would have a home and be loved, she wanted to do something for her daughter.
Thus creating an undead Xix to be Siana's brother and love her in Serin's stead.
Well we know that Siana is the daughter of Nex, was it just that Xix has her heart that allowed him to undo the seal?
dat shadow
Moral of the story: Kids are shit, don't have em.
>Why Ifrita would help her at all I have no idea.
>help her
She would "help" her for couple of reasons:
1. She can't kill him because if Nex ever found out she would be dead.
2. Having a son with Nex solidifies her position as Empress.
3. If Nex ever doubts he can use the seal test and verify that he IS his son.
The prophecy screwed her plan though.
He lost her heart far before he started undoing seals.
Not magic stones, he was "forced" to kill two of his family members, and because he's batshit crazy he blames Nex.

How to: DIY Painted Concrete Stepping Stones
Coming from a family of women who know how to garden well, the pressure is on! This year, I tried my hand at creating a garden in my home home, and, well... so far, it's not going as I hoped. Gardening takes time, patience and a lot of practice. Until then, it needs a little help. So I decided to create some DIY modern stepping stones that can do wonders in the meantime!
Clean off the surface of your cement slab using a cloth and start your design. I went for a simple graphic pop to balance the look of our garden.
Repeat with as many stepping stones as you desire.
Allow slabs to completely dry.
Once slabs are dry, place in your garden however and wherever you like! Enjoy!
It's so easy, your garden will look as good as new before you know it. Have fun placing them on their own or even side by side with a few to create a fun walk-way. Depending on how big your garden is, this can definitely create a modern look amidst your flowers and greeney.

How to use Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense is a mysterious oil that lifts the spirit.
Boswellia Carterii
Frankincense is harvested by rupturing the bark of the Boswellia tree which releases the resin. The resin has been used throughout millenia as an incense in rituals and an ointment for religious purposes and is considered by many to be sacred.
The essential oil is created by steam distillation of the resin using ancient traditional processes to create an exquisite oil that has a unique mysterious aroma with elements of wood, earth, spice and sweet fruit.
Frankincense is still used today in traditional ceremonies. The Catholic church make use of the incense for religious purposes and in a more modern context it can be used for meditation and finding peace and clarity of mind within your home environment.
Where have I smelt Frankincense before?
Perfumes and Colognes
Frankincense is used extensively in fragrances and cosmetics. One of the more notable fragrances on the market at present which incorporates Frankincense is Blue de Chanel, a men's cologne that combines a combination of top notes and heart notes with base notes of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Patchouli and Labdanum.
You can utilise Frankincense oil in the following ways to reap its many wonderful benefits:
Frankincense oil for skin care
Frankincense is an active ingredient in many premium over the counter cosmetics as its properties make it a useful oil for skin maintenance.
It can specifically be useful for reducing fine lines and keeping ageing skin youthful and supple. Used regularly it can help to diminish age spots, scars and stretch marks and even out skin tone.
It has astringent properties that are effective in keeping the skin clean and blemish free. Dilute in a carrier oil of your choice, for example Sweet Almond oil, and massage onto clean skin every evening to see results.
Frankincense for clarity of mind
Taking time out for yourself is important for self care and Frankincense can be incorporated into your routine whether you enjoy meditation, yoga, journaling, reciting incantations, spell work, tarot or focussing on a vision board.
Whatever you do to clear your mind and get in the zone, burning Frankincense oil while you take time out for yourself can bring additional clarity of mind and help purify the air and create the right ambience within your environment.
Frankincense oil for stress and anxiety
Regulating stress and anxiety levels is difficult to do in the fast paced world that we live in. Diffusing Frankincense oil can be incorporated into your routine as an easy way to relieve mild symptoms of stress and anxiety and could play a role in helping to make sure symptoms don't get out of hand.
Burning Frankincense in a diffuser when you come home from work or before going to sleep can help to calm your mind and relax you. If you have serious stress and anxiety issues make sure to see a Dr, but if your symptoms are mild, use Frankincense as part of your routine to ward off feelings of tension.
Adding a few drops of Frankincense to your bath is another great way to inhale the aroma of this oil and feel the restorative benefits. You will also get the skin care benefits of the oil if you administer your treatment in this way too, benefitting the wellbeing of both your body and your mind.
Frankincense oil for joint pain
Any aromatherapy massage is going to benefit your body, mind and psyche, but if you specifically have aching or sore joints Frankincense has anti inflammatory properties which makes it a good oil to treat joint pain.
You can self administer regular gentle massage to areas such as the hands, knees, ankles, shoulders, your groin, feet and elbows to allow for less pain and flexibility in these areas. This type of massage can also be used preventatively and is especially useful for runners and people who take part in high intensity exercises that can damage the joints over time.
Frankincense essential oil recipes
Frankincense joint pain relief massage blend
Add 5 drops of Frankincense, 5 drops of Clary Sage and 10 drops of Lavender to 20mls of massage oil to create an anti inflammatory blend of oils to massage into tired and aching joints. This blend will ease tension in your joints and relax your mind.
Frankincense Diffuser blend
To lift your spirits and relieve stress and tension diffuse 6 drops of Frankincense, 3 drops of Ylang Ylang and 2 drops of Geranium. Breathe in and drift way.
Frankincense oil blends well with
Bergamot, Clary Sage, Cedarwood, Geranium, Lavender, Lemon, Orange, Rose & Ylang Ylang.
Frankincense essential oil safety
There are different species within the Frankincense Boswellia family. Boswellia Carterii is the species which is most widely used in aromatherapy.
Boswellia is cited as being a cure for many serious diseases in articles online which suggest the internal use of Frankincense oil to reap the benefits of the oil. The truth is that many of the components of Boswellia that have alleged healing properties are not in the essential oil as they are lost through the distillation process. This doesn't mean that Frankincense essential oil doesn't have it's own properties, however take caution if it is suggested that Frankincense oil should be ingested or that it can cure serious conditions like cancer.
If you are wanting to buy Boswellia supplements you should look for Boswellia Serrata as this is the only type of Boswellia that is legally certified for consumption within Europe. Never ingest Frankincense essential oil unless you have been directed to do so by a Dr or qualified aromatherapist.
Keep out of the reach of children. Dilute before use. Avoid if pregnant or nursing. For external use only.

Will Duffield joins us again to discuss Cambridge Analytica and the future of social media.
Will Duffield joins us to discuss Cambridge Analytica and the future of social media. What is Cambridge Analytica? What is Facebook doing with all this data? Should we expect more regulation of online advertising or nationalized social media platforms?
Further Readings/References:
00:07 Aaron Powell: Welcome to Free Thoughts. I'm Aaron Powell.
00:09 Trevor Burrus: And I'm Trevor Burrus.
00:11 Aaron Powell: And joining us is Will Duffield, he's a researcher with Cato's First Amendment Project. Welcome back to Free Thoughts, Will.
00:17 Will Duffield: Good to be back.
00:20 Aaron Powell: What is Cambridge Analytica and what have they done with my data? [chuckle]
00:23 Will Duffield: So Cambridge Analytica is a political consulting firm, and we aren't perfectly sure what they've done with your data. Now, to start, this is a story full of unreliable narrators, has some confusing twists and turns, and a lot of those with access to privileged information in this story have a whole host of incentives to misrepresent what they know. The basic story of the Cambridge Analytica Facebook data scandal is that a researcher named Aleksandr Kogan, back in 2013, used Amazon's Mechanical Turk surface to hire individuals with Facebook accounts to take a personality test, which under Facebook's rules at that time also allowed him access to a basic set of information about these test takers' friends.
01:33 Aaron Powell: This is one of these tests that you sign into the test online with your Facebook account to answer silly questions, and then it posts the results to your Facebook.
01:41 Trevor Burrus: Which Harry Potter, Hogwarts House are you kind of thing?
01:45 Will Duffield: Yes, that sort of thing exactly. This data was then, contrary to Facebook's terms of service, sold by Aleksandr Kogan to Cambridge Analytica. They may have used some of this data, both information from the test takers and information about the test takers' friends, to create psychographic profiles used to potentially more effectively target political advertisements.
02:16 Aaron Powell: So, this, as you've described it, sounds like much less of a big deal in terms of scope then the headlines have said, so we're talking about some people five years ago who took a personality test. So, how do we get from that to the hundreds of millions of Facebook users data has been exposed?
02:38 Will Duffield: A couple hundred thousand people took the test and each of them had a few hundred friends. So, initially it was expected that 23 million Facebook users might have had that simpler set of data, the friends' data, pulled and incorporated in this dataset. There were a number of other tests that Kogan had run around the same time, which is how we get the revised number of potentially 87 million accounts affected.
03:14 Aaron Powell: What kind of data do they have? Was it in this bundle that they managed to gather, both on, so there's data from the people who took the test, and then there's data about the friends of the people who took the test. But what's in that data?
03:27 Will Duffield: So, that will include who your friends are, your age, employment status, some location data. This is what you've chosen to post about your location…
03:43 Aaron Powell: Your hometown, or where you went to high school?
03:48 Will Duffield: Not data gleaned from cellphone records.
03:51 Trevor Burrus: Things you like, would that be in the data?
03:53 Will Duffield: Certainly, yes. Pages you've liked.
03:57 Trevor Burrus: Yeah. The theory here is that you could… There's so many advertisers in general you could use that to figure out if you liked some page for, I don't know, buck hunting enthusiasts, they might wanna advertise some shotgun shells. Actually, you don't hunt deer with a shotgun. You might advertise some riflery equipment, but that seems pretty innocuous, and Cambridge Analytica was a political consulting firm, they used it for that purpose. And Ted Cruz had used it before Donald Trump did, correct?
04:29 Will Duffield: Yes. Though I believe Ted Cruz's contract was originally with SCL Group, which is a larger parent firm, which has done much more government and even military work in the past. There's another firm in the mix under this SCL umbrella called Aggregate IQ, which was more heavily involved in Britain's Brexit Vote Leave campaign.
05:00 Trevor Burrus: So, I mean, my first reaction is, so what? That was my first… When I heard about this, I said, "Okay, so what?" Is that a good general reaction to have or is there…
05:13 Will Duffield: Always. No matter what the situation is.
05:15 Trevor Burrus: Nah, it's okay, or is it something that was opening up a discussion that is gonna be with us for a long time?
05:24 Will Duffield: I would say when it comes to this specific instance, how this data scraped by Kogan might have been used in elections, it is a sort of "so what" response. I think a lot more of this has been going on as well that we don't know about. But this poked above the surface, we've latched onto it and because they're a global firm, they were involved in elections both in the US and in Europe, it's been easy for all sorts of people to see a niche story that applies to them, within this broader concern. Now, it does presage a sort of concerning state of affairs when it comes to data in general and how it's used. However, a lot of that contingent concern is also reliant upon your theory of political communication.
06:27 Aaron Powell: You said this was… What was done here was against Facebook's terms of service. So Facebook would give this data to a third party, in this case, the guy running the quiz, but you weren't allowed to then pass that data onto yet another party?
06:44 Will Duffield: Yes. And when we talk about giving data, for the most part, it was, it's the app itself that's collecting that data. It's not so much Facebook. Facebook provides the platform for it, sets the rules governing apps in general, what they can pull. But the users are then authorizing the specific application they're using to gather this data.
07:09 Aaron Powell: So when the user went to take the quiz, they had to click through something that said, "Do you want to share all of your data with this third party?" And they said, "Sure. Yes."
07:20 Will Duffield: Including the friends' data.
07:25 Trevor Burrus: So Zuckerberg goes to Congress, who seemed to be quite upset about this.
07:28 Aaron Powell: Everyone flipped out about this.
07:31 Trevor Burrus: And you, I think, watched all that or most of it.
07:35 Will Duffield: Mercifully, yes. [laughter]
07:39 Trevor Burrus: I saw some of the highlight reels going around, but what would be the, if you're… Having sat through the whole thing, what would be your description of that bizarre event?
07:47 Will Duffield: Ignorant. [chuckle] The most prominent misconception displayed in those hearings seemed to be that when Facebook advertises on someone else's behalf, the advertiser is, in the minds of many Congresspeople, gaining a tranche of data from Facebook to use for its own advertising purposes. That's not the case. When you seek to post an advertisement on Facebook, pay them to spread a message, you choose an audience within Facebook, the sort of people who you would like to reach, and then, they, using the data that they have on us, serve that advertisement to these populations.
08:42 Trevor Burrus: So it's not that… It's, again, it's somewhat new in the sense that we have more data about people than ever before, but it's also just running ads. While, we've always run ads. We try to avoid showing ads to people who don't care about them. That's pretty difficult.
09:02 Will Duffield: It's just a more sophisticated version of saying like this television show is popular in the 18 to 34 demographic of men with incomes of certain amounts, so I'm gonna "target" that audience by advertising in front of that TV show.
09:15 Trevor Burrus: Yeah, I remember when I was a kid and watching Saturday morning cartoons and always go to my parents and being like, "Have you seen that commercial for this new play set?" They're like, "No, we haven't seen that commercial." I was like, "How could you not have seen it? It's on every… Every time. It's always on."
09:31 Will Duffield: And if your parents were watching along with you, the money spent to serve an ad to them was rather wasted.
09:36 Trevor Burrus: Yeah.
09:37 Will Duffield: There's an inefficiency there.
09:40 Aaron Powell: It's like, why the NFL, for some reason, decides that the only thing that should be advertised on NFL games is pickup trucks and enlisting in the Navy and…
09:52 Trevor Burrus: Budweiser.
09:52 Aaron Powell: Erectile dysfunction.
09:54 Trevor Burrus: Yes, and Budweiser.
09:55 Aaron Powell: None of which are necessarily anything I would consider buying.
10:00 Trevor Burrus: Yeah. So where are we now if this is the nature of the modern world? And people seem to understand that. I think people understand that a lot of data is kept on them by a bunch of corporations. I think they don't actually care that much, which we could talk about they should. And they use that data and so will politics. But is there more to this in terms of like… Going forward, there'll just be more data and more specific data, and it could be, "Where were you at Thursday at 6:01 PM?" or whatever. And so does it get creepy at some point?
10:37 Will Duffield: Well, I think there is certainly a sort of civic republican concern that accompanies the use of targeted advertising in politics. If your neighbor is receiving different cola commercials than you, no real reason to care about that. If advertisements are, political advertisements are used, not just to convince, but to inform, and increasingly our electorate lives in different information spaces, we can see a concern there. But that also comes along with the usual individual choices of people to consume different sorts of partisan media. So it isn't a new concern, but it might be magnified by this.
11:21 Trevor Burrus: And what about Russia? That's the other one that "manipulated," I'm putting that in scare quotes, manipulated our political processes via Facebook. What did Russia do?
11:34 Will Duffield: Russia ran fewer political advertisements in doing this in attempting to interfere. They weren't necessarily what you would think of as an electioneering communication. They were mostly instead designed to provoke partisan or tribal fears, things like sharia law coming to a community near you or, on the other side, discussing police brutality against African‐Americans. So they don't fall within what we would think of as political communications, but they were definitely designed to heighten tensions that already existed within the American electorate; and they often aped the style of some the most inflammatory voices in our polity.
12:28 Aaron Powell: I'm trying to understand the privacy concerns here, 'cause clearly the response to this story, it's clear that a lot of people think we've already gone way across the creepy line, and Congress thinks that we've gone across the line that upset them in a way that the Stone revelations didn't. But so bracket the question of when Facebook five years ago was allowing apps to scrape this data, which it sounds like they've restricted that…
13:05 Will Duffield: They nixed that in 2014.
13:07 Aaron Powell: Right, so that's not a thing. So the data is being gathered and aggregated by Facebook, and it's being kept in Facebook servers. So this is why the hip thing a couple weeks ago was to go to the Facebook page where you could download all your data and then dig through it and be astonished at how much you being on Facebook six hours a day generates. But Facebook, as we said, is not, they're not sharing that data on an individual basis in any way with outside firms. They're just saying if they know that you happen to be a certain age and they know that you happen to like certain things and so if someone says, "I want people of a certain age and people who like following things to see this ad," Facebook will just marry them up. But is the concern then that the data, from a personal privacy issue, that it could get off of Facebook servers, that Facebook could get hacked, or are people concerned by the very nature of this aggregating?
13:56 Will Duffield: That's a concern, but it does go to the aggregating and it involves Facebook, and even the internet, less than we might expect. The fact of the matter is, there are a host of interactions which create data, which prior to the past decade or so, was very difficult to capture and organize. Your having purchased something at Target, or buying a certain insurance policy, couldn't be brought together into some kind of cohesive, whole picture of your life. That's changed now. So a host of things we do on a daily basis, which previously couldn't be very well tracked, now contribute to a mosaic of our lives, and I think that is uncomfortable for many people.
14:55 Aaron Powell: Do you think that that discomfort, so as a libertarian I am uncomfortable with the notion that that kind of data exists in a silo somewhere. Even if Facebook's not giving it away, Facebook is still, exists within the territories of states that would love to get their hands on that data often to do bad things to people who are not necessarily fans of that state. And that makes me uncomfortable because this is access to something that looks very much like incredibly pervasive surveillance. But from the private end, is there, Facebook's just using this to give us targeted ads and I think everyone would admit that, on the whole, more targeted ads are better than less targeted ads just, from the user experience.
15:43 Will Duffield: Yeah, I'm tired of that Cars for Kids commercial. If we could target something more salient to my interests, that would be an improvement.
15:54 Aaron Powell: So what's the privacy concern, outside of just like, "I feel like this is creepy?" Is there, call it from our libertarian perspective, is there a genuine privacy concern here beyond that states might get this data?
16:09 Will Duffield: I would say there still is, particularly when one's expectations concerning how this collected data can be used to discipline them, are at odds with the extent of that reality. If you used to have an Ashley Madison account, but didn't think that that was the sort of thing that a co‐worker could find out about and use to push you into taking on some assignment at work. Well, finding out that it can, and they will, is discomforting. It alters the ways in which we might comfortably interact with the world around us.
16:55 Trevor Burrus: How much do you think the uproar about both Cambridge Analytica and Russia in this specific, Facebook in Russia, is related to re‐litigating the 2016 election?
17:08 Will Duffield: Oh, very much so. Now, I don't think that either the Cambridge Analytica scandal or Russian involvement here, or even work that AQI did on the Brexit campaign, altered the outcomes of those elections. However, the ability for effectively marginalized groups within our polity to use social media writ large probably had a very real impact on the election. So Cambridge Analytica and Russia are used as a proxy for that broader concern that these voices are coming out of the woodwork, and there doesn't seem to be a very good way to hush them up again.
17:58 Aaron Powell: But what's the problem with that? What's the problem with more voices coming out of the woodwork? Is it that…
18:04 Trevor Burrus: They might be Alex Jones. I think that's what some of them would say.
18:06 Will Duffield: They might be Alex…
18:07 Aaron Powell: Well, and in this case they voted for Trump.
18:08 Trevor Burrus: Yes.
18:09 Aaron Powell: Right. But these are… We've always had candidates that bought ads all the time and we don't have a problem with that. And political parties buy ads all the time and government officials campaign all the time.
18:20 Trevor Burrus: And you've had organizations like… What is that guy's name? David Icke?
18:24 Aaron Powell: Yes. The lizard people.
18:26 Trevor Burrus: The lizard… He's been putting out stuff forever about that, right?
18:29 Aaron Powell: Right. I guess I just… I have a hard time feeling the weight of the concern that lots of prior marginalized voices are getting their say. I get that a lot of these marginalized voices are crazy, but that just seems to be more a problem of like, why are so many Americans susceptible to believing crazy stuff? But I don't know that they're necessarily… These voices are more dangerous than hearing your local politician tell you to do something.
19:00 Will Duffield: Yes. And there's certainly no just reason for depriving these people of access to contemporary telecommunications technology.
19:12 Trevor Burrus: I think that the issue is… And I've talked about it before on Free Thoughts in episodes that we talk about campaign finance. In particular, that if you don't understand why people disagree with you… And there's some, we'll… We can… We'll get into bubbles and stuff like that, too, but if it is the case that if you have no good story for why someone disagreed with you except for they must be duped by something, and I think there's some evidence that says that we misunderstand the other side more than we used to, to some extent. And so, therefore, you need to have an explanation for why this thing happened, like Donald Trump's election. We're really explaining other people's political beliefs and trying to come up with some sort of reason why they believe these things. And that's what's scary to me, that's what I realized when I saw this Cambridge Analytica thing, that this is the new campaign finance, this is the new Citizens United discussion. The worry about the corporations was always that they would have so much political power to run ads that they would convince people to vote against those people's interests, I'm putting that in scare quotes, and for the corporate interests.
20:22 Trevor Burrus: And so we're afraid of any of these terms you hear, like, "Someone's corrupting our democracy," or, "We have Cambridge Analytica corrupting our democracy," or, "Corporations corrupting our democracy," and that always makes me just think interesting, 'cause I'm… Okay, corrupting. How is speaking to people corrupting a democracy? And there's so many implicit premises in that. And I think that's what we're getting into with this Facebook stuff.
20:43 Will Duffield: Yeah, where you draw the line as to what is endogenous versus exogenous to one's democracy tells you a lot about their theory of political communication.
20:55 Trevor Burrus: That's really good way to put it.
20:55 Will Duffield: The legitimacy of different forms of messaging or messengers.
21:00 Trevor Burrus: There's some sort of line from influence to brainwash, and it runs through manipulation in the middle. And so you say, "Okay, you're allowed to influence the electorate, and you can get out there and make your voice heard, but you can't brainwash them, and manipulation is probably too far, too." And so I think they would probably put, the people who are afraid of Cambridge Analytica and the future of this, they'd probably put it at manipulation. And they're probably worried that if the data gets good enough it could go to brainwashing, where they have some sort of algorithm that says, "If you wash your car every Tuesday and you buy kumquats and like to play squash, we just have to show you six things, like a koala bear video, and then a video of Donald Trump, and then this, and then you will… Now vote." Like it'll crack your brain like some sort of combination to a safe. And I think that's very sci‐fi, but that's somewhat what people are also worried about.
21:52 Will Duffield: I think it is, but especially in the political realm I feel as though those fears are presently overblown. When it comes to Cambridge Analytica in particular, there's very little evidence that any of this worked or even was perceived to work by certain campaigns that hired Cambridge Analytica. You look to Cruz's use of them. He was doing it because they were the Mercer's data analytics firm. Robert Mercer funded Cambridge Analytica, he also funded a number of GOP campaigns this past election cycle, and one way in which you could signal goodwill towards him and ask for his money was by hiring Cambridge Analytica.
22:40 Will Duffield: When it comes to their actual services, I was I suppose lucky enough to receive a sales pitch from them about a year and a half ago. I'd been working for a cannabis policy magazine in the UK that was looking to begin a legalization campaign, and one of the firms we had in to discuss potentially working on this campaign was Cambridge Analytica. They played up what they could do, a sort of slick monorail salesmanesque pitch but, at the end of the day, it relied on a great many gimmicks. Posting a bounty for, or running a competition for whoever could correctly guess both the score and the two teams involved in the Premier League final. If you want to find potential Brexit voters, seems like a pretty good way to go about it. But it doesn't speak to the efficacy of your underlying algorithm or use of data, it's just a clever idea to select for mid‐40‐something white men and get them to give you their email address and some other info.
24:01 Aaron Powell: Is there any way that we could measure the efficacy of it? If ultimately what you're trying to do is influence votes, and votes are not public, we don't have records that you can look at. We know X number of people from this area voted, and we know how the totals came out, but we don't know that this guy voted this way unless he tells you. Is it always gonna be just that monorail sales pitch, or would it be possible to say, "Look, we… Through what we've done, we moved the popular vote 0.0 whatever percent?"
24:40 Will Duffield: I think it's difficult. Maybe not impossible in certain cases, but you rarely get the chance to rerun an election while only tweaking one variable. And in order to really drill down into the efficacy of this, you'd need to be able to do that.
25:00 Aaron Powell: I want to get to the government's response to this, and the proposals that have been put forward to fix this problem. But before we do, this has provoked a lot of soul searching in Silicon Valley, and a lot of talk about privacy. And I don't know if it's related to this stuff or if it's related to the recent changes in European privacy regs, but just over the last several days I've gotten notices about our privacy policy from basically every Internet service that I have signed up for. So this stuff is in the air. What are people in Silicon Valley seeing as… So first, does Silicon Valley recognize this as a problem or think this is a problem? It might not be a problem, but do they think it's a problem? And then what are their self‐enforced solutions that they imagine?
26:05 Will Duffield: So when it comes to Silicon Valley's perception of their role in this, I think it's even broader than simply a data privacy issue, but a growing recognition that they will be treated and must behave as a sort of political actor. Their power has been recognized and now they have a bunch of people lining up at the door asking for various dispensations and threatening different sorts of regulations if they don't get what they want. So this is an emerging awareness. When it comes to what firms have done in response to this, it's been fairly robust, particularly when it comes to this Facebook Russia question. Russia used Facebook groups, in many cases, very large pages, to spread their messages, trying to come off as American citizens of different political bents. They're requiring… In order to run both explicitly political ads, but also just any kind of more general issue ad that falls within a laundry list of political categories, or to run one of these large pages, these are pages with X number of followers.
27:45 Trevor Burrus: And these were all… They were those America great, or things like this, patriotic sounding…
27:52 Will Duffield: Yes.
27:53 Trevor Burrus: Vague, make America wonderful now kind of thing.
27:56 Will Duffield: But going forward, and this is supposed to be rolled out before the 2018 midterms, in order to do any of that you'll need to verify your identity, that you are an American citizen or have some form of government‐issued ID. And you'll actually receive a code in the physical mail that you then punch in online. And then you've been verified.
28:20 Trevor Burrus: This is what Facebook has announced or something?
28:22 Will Duffield: Yeah.
28:22 Aaron Powell: Shouldn't we be flattered and grateful that Russia wants to make America great again?
28:30 Trevor Burrus: They're just trying to help out. Yeah. I agree. We could use some help. So this is… How recently did they announce this, Facebook?
28:36 Will Duffield: This was pretty recently.
28:39 Trevor Burrus: Pretty recently?
28:41 Will Duffield: It had been in the works for a time. They're also, and this will be fascinating for all of the DC political wonks, going to keep track, keep a publicly‐accessible database of all political advertisements run by all campaigns. So you will know, you'll be able to go on and look at, both what might have been run to you, but also ads designed to target very different sorts of people from yourself. But this will be open and accessible to everyone. It makes sort of sneaky AB ad testing much more difficult. I'm sure some people will be rather frustrated about that. But this is an action the government certainly couldn't take, but that Facebook as a private company has decided to do.
29:34 Aaron Powell: What about on the broader, just creepy data mining and aggregation level? So one question, I guess, would be is that stuff, is the, "We're just going to gather data, all of the data about everything that you do on our platform and also on every website that's interfacing with our platform, and whatever else," is that necessary to the very business model of these free mega‐platform sites? Could we have Facebook without creepy Facebook data gathering?
30:15 Will Duffield: You could if you wanted to pay for it. Whether that market exists, I'm not so sure.
30:22 Trevor Burrus: How real is the threat of regulation, do you think? Maybe not even in the near term regulating Facebook or Twitter or something like this, but in the long term to… We're in the… As you and I have discussed privately, we're in the baby steps of the Internet and of social media, and the world in 50 years will… I assume social media is not going away, due to the human element of it. Will we have to be constantly aware of calls for regulation? 'Cause I'm thinking about comparing it to something like the FCC, where we had a fairness doctrine until 1987, on the theory that the limited airwaves, and if you just put one side of the conversation up you had to put the other one because that's how we sculpted our political speech framework so people could be informed of both sides. Do you think that there's a possibility that something like that or totally something different could come with the Facebook and other yet to be seen social media?
31:29 Will Duffield: I'm certainly concerned about the threat of regulation going forward. CDA 230 has created a pretty good…
31:37 Trevor Burrus: What is that? You have to define that.
31:38 Will Duffield: And pretty strong… CDA 230 is an element of the Communications Decency Act, and pretty much the only element that survived later judicial review. It prevents platforms or content hosts from being held liable for content posted by others. If you have a hand in making the content, it doesn't apply to you, but as long as you are just up or downvoting what others create… Someone libels someone in your comments section, they can't go after you. They can go after the person who posted the libel but you, as a host, are insulated. And it's really the substrate on which the modern Internet has been built. Without it, you couldn't run a platform like Facebook, because you'd be sued out of existence. However, well, that's created a pretty strong presumptive norm in favor of allowing platforms to govern themselves. You are seeing it nibbled at around the edges, particularly in areas in which there's an ugliness to what may be happening on the Internet.
32:58 Will Duffield: We saw FOSTA passed recently, which carved out a little section cutting away at these 230 protections for sites that are seen to knowingly promote sex trafficking or prostitution. Hard to be against an anti‐sex trafficking bill but, in its effect, you begin to expose platforms, and particularly up and coming platforms, to liability for things frankly beyond their control. On the advertising front as well, it looks as though Facebook's move, and Twitter as well, to privately rein in their political advertising markets have, at least immediately, forestalled regulation. But some form of the Honest Ads Act will probably move forward in the future, simply in an attempt to standardize advertising rules between broadcast, print and these digital mediums.
34:01 Trevor Burrus: What does that say, the Honest Ads Act, in a nutshell?
34:04 Will Duffield: It is an effective expansion of existing broadcast regulation to the Internet. Now, whether the power to do that really exists is somewhat questionable, because you aren't talking about a limited broadcast spectrum anymore. But it does seem as though the political will to put something like that through is there.
34:29 Aaron Powell: What would the effect of that be? On the one hand, we could say if government cracks down it's gonna cripple social media. The FOSTA regulations meant a lot of sites were shutting down, turning off sections that sex workers used. And so we might say, "Well, this is gonna destroy everything," but I guess I could see it… It could also push us in the right direction. Not in terms of it's good that these things are being shut down, but the response to them. So the sex workers launched a federation of Mastodon, which is a decentralized basically Twitter clone that you can run on multiple servers that can talk to each other; it's a decentralized Twitter, and moved their conversation there. And that's something that you might be able to shut down one instance of it, but it can pop up somewhere else, and you could build it in such a way that it couldn't be shut down, that it's fully distributed. And they're now back, people are back to talking and there's hundreds of thousands of people or hundreds of thousands of posts on it. So it might be that the response to the government going after all these centralized services and saying, "We're gonna regulate you," is that people go back to decentralized services that can't be regulated, which I think would be a good thing.
35:50 Will Duffield: Potentially, though, I'm not sure those decentralized services are as robust as we might hope for them to be. That SW list was recently bumped off of Cloudflare's DDoS protection, which took it down. It may have gotten back up on its feet now.
36:12 Aaron Powell: It's back up, yeah.
36:14 Will Duffield: Well, that's good.
36:15 Trevor Burrus: What is the SW list again? Is that a white supremacy thing, or…
36:17 Will Duffield: No, no, no. [chuckle]
36:19 Trevor Burrus: I'm sorry.
36:19 Will Duffield: This is a decentralized social network.
36:22 Aaron Powell: This is the Twitter for sex workers.
36:25 Trevor Burrus: Oh, okay. I thought you said it was called Mastadon.
36:27 Will Duffield: Mastadon is the name of the underlying technology.
36:28 Trevor Burrus: Ah, okay.
36:29 Will Duffield: So anyone can set up a Mastadon instance.
36:31 Trevor Burrus: Okay.
36:32 Will Duffield: It's like installing Wordpress on your own server, but then it can talk to other instances as well.
36:39 Trevor Burrus: But they're more vulnerable, as you said.
36:41 Will Duffield: Than we might initially expect. There's a thought that, "Well, it's decentralized, so it's censorship‐proof." Eh, you still need the DDoS protection. And I'm sure some of that will be worked out as we go forward. However, the other concern is that this regulation will cement the status of current market‐dominant platforms. Facebook, YouTube, they've got a lot of legal clout. They've got huge war chests. They can afford to work under some of this proposed regulation. It'll be more costly for them, but they can bear that cost. A new startup cannot. When you're at the three guys in a garage stage, you can't afford a legal team. And I'm concerned that, as a result of some of this upcoming regulation, the next Facebook may just be strangled in its crib.
37:44 Trevor Burrus: It would be like being stuck with MySpace back when Zuck was building Facebook in the garage. If MySpace could have had these regulations, we might all be still friends with Tom. Was that his name?
37:55 Will Duffield: MySpace Tom?
37:55 Trevor Burrus: Yeah, MySpace Tom, yeah.
38:00 Will Duffield: Yeah, it's somewhat trite looking back to see proposals to nationalize MySpace, but people made that case then. It was so important that it needed to be nationalized, and had that happened, we would still have it.
38:14 Trevor Burrus: I have seen people say that about Facebook, too.
38:19 Aaron Powell: I mentioned earlier that the disconnect between the way that Congress responds to the revelations of data gathering and mining by American intelligence agencies and Facebook doing it. And a lot of people who are… They rightly are upset about the NSA gathering all of our data, but they're upset about Facebook too, because they see there's a lot of like… These are basically the same thing, they're widespread surveillance and widespread surveillance is bad. Is that the right way to look at it? Conceptually, does it make sense to think of what Facebook is doing as massive surveillance, and should we be worried about it in anything approaching the way that we worry about it when the NSA is doing it?
39:04 Will Duffield: It depends upon what your imagined threat is. If it's this sort of social discipline, you might be even more concerned about Facebook. However, as far as we know, Facebook data is not used to, in Snowden's words, "Put warheads on foreheads." The NSA's data is. So there is a difference there. However, when it comes to how this Facebook data could be used down the road, well, legally, if the NASA wants it, they're likely to be able to get access to it. So the mere fact that it has been collected and made legible can be concerning.
39:49 Aaron Powell: Why is this all about Facebook? If Facebook does this stuff, and it gathers massive amount of data about us in order to sell ads and that's its business model. But the business model of Google is to gather massive amounts of data about us in order to sell ads. Twitter's business model, they don't gather quite as much data, but they gather a ton of data about us in order to sell ads. Is there something technically different about Facebook that makes it creepier, or is there something culturally different about Facebook that gets people more upset?
40:23 Will Duffield: I think it's the latter. When you think about Google, it's somewhat difficult to connect your use of search or YouTube to Google AdWords or their other advertising properties. When it comes to Facebook, it's all occurring within the same walled garden. You're reading your friends' posts on Facebook, you're also receiving advertisements from Facebook right alongside them. So it's easier to think about it as a data harvesting and advertising entity within a social media space. Whereas when we look at Google, the way in which they collect information and then use it to sell ads is more opaque and distributed.
41:14 Trevor Burrus: Of course, we can't, for the same reason we discussed with My Space, we can't presume that Facebook will be around forever, and there are networking effects in all these things, but if…
41:24 Will Duffield: But there's also the intergenerational element.
41:27 Trevor Burrus: That's true, yeah. Kids don't use Facebook. It's what old people do.
41:32 Will Duffield: It's underappreciated that for the most part, many of us online today all came online at the same time, regardless of our ages. However, as new generations of so‐called digital natives [laughter] emerge…
41:48 Trevor Burrus: I'm laughing, 'cause there's this… Going around the office, everyone was using the term, "digital natives." Some of our colleagues were like, "Digital natives, what is that? Digital natives?" So, Will is a digital native. Are you a digital native?
42:00 Will Duffield: I guess so.
42:00 Aaron Powell: Okay. We're not.
42:02 Will Duffield: On the border, at least.
42:03 Aaron Powell: Analogue native.
42:04 Will Duffield: But it's true, most young people don't want to hang out in the same spaces as their parents. You don't want your parents to see what you're up to with your friends. And I think you will see much more age cohort‐based segregation between platforms going forward.
42:25 Aaron Powell: Why don't the youth just learn how to use Facebook's post privacy tools so then they can share their posts only with their friends and their parents can't see it?
42:35 Will Duffield: And if you're on there, your mom's gonna wanna be friends with you.
42:39 Aaron Powell: Well, she be can be friends with you, but you stick her in a group and then you say, "Share with just this group, which is my homies."
42:46 Trevor Burrus: I won't speak for 15‐year‐olds, but they seem to like more destructive, meaning like Snapchat, right? It goes and then goes away, and they like things that are sort of demonstrating their lives so they can film them and send them out to people. That's what… I don't know. That's what the kids are doing.
43:06 Aaron Powell: But they're all shifting to messaging.
43:07 Trevor Burrus: That too. So this all brings up… Political communication in the next decades, I mean, we're not gonna be able to predict what it is, but it will be the main way that people form their attitudes about almost everything. Even the news networks, their median age is, whatever, 60‐years‐old or something like that. No 23‐year‐old is going to start watching 7 o'clock news in 10 years. They're gonna get it through all these other things. So this conversation about how political opinion is formed… And the interesting thing is that the more it targets, and going back to my theory of not having a good theory of the other side, the more you're effectively targeted with just things you already agree with, the more the other side will look completely insane to you. And then this question… I do think that there's something like a fairness doctrine that will be seriously discussed for social media in the next 20 years. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that, Will?
44:06 Will Duffield: I really couldn't hope to effectively comment on the 20‐year horizon of the Fairness Doctrine. I will, however, point to, I think one of the most interesting facets of this claim that Facebook has been censoring conservatives or other marginalized viewpoints, the fact that these two women, Diamond and Silk, who are political e‐celebrities, they've risen to prominence by streaming themselves discussing Donald Trump, were enough of a political concern to the Republican establishment that today, they were invited to the Hill as witnesses to discuss how they may have been impacted by certain changes to Facebook's algorithm. That's a deeply bizarre development and speaks to a digital culture and digital political life that is increasingly eating real‐world politics.
45:16 Aaron Powell: That conservatives thinking that they are being censored on Facebook thing, I've wondered about that, because… So the claim is that our pages, our posts on our Patriot Nation, whatever, page aren't getting anywhere near the reach that they used to, so we must be censored, but all of this is happening at the same time that Facebook announced that they were basically reducing the reach of all pages. And so this is one of my pet peeves in this space, is that people routinely don't understand how the technology works, have no idea how the platforms work, stumble across something, and then think… It affects everyone, but they just noticed it for the first time. Maybe, it's been going on forever, but they just noticed for the first time and they assume that it was directed by some engineer at them. And so then they blow up and it's like this grand conspiracy. When in fact, it's like, "No, this was just… We changed our policies for everyone six months ago and you just weren't paying attention."
46:23 Trevor Burrus: You think conservatives are particularly bad at that?
46:26 Aaron Powell: I think that, by and large, given the demographics, conservatives, especially of the Maga sort, are probably, considerably less tech‐savvy. They skew older, who tend to be less tech savvy, they skew to other demographics that are not gonna be as tech‐savvy. So I think they're probably not as media or online‐literate as other groups.
46:52 Trevor Burrus: They also might have more of a persecution complex.
46:55 Will Duffield: Particularly in relation to Bay Area liberals. When the Daily Kos sees that its traffic has tanked after this algorithmic shift, there isn't really a perceived grievance against them on behalf of those who run and operate these platforms. When it comes to conservatives, there's already this culture or tribal distance. So I think it's just easier to impute that animus, whereas it wouldn't occur to the operator of a liberal page.
47:36 Trevor Burrus: So people who use Facebook, we began this discussion talking about… When we talk about Congress, they don't seem to understand it or these things. If someone is gonna learn something from this "scandal," putting that in scare quotes too, about, maybe things they didn't know about Facebook or… What should they realize is a lesson from this in terms of Facebook and social media, in general?
48:03 Will Duffield: The lesson that I frequently look to when these stories come out is that everything is permanent online. And there, if I can jump for a moment from the broader Facebook Cambridge Analytica political scandal to an incident in the past week involving some blog posts that Joy Reid may or may not have written about a decade ago. They've dredged up on the Internet Archive, the Library of Congress had some copies. She's claimed that they've been… Were hacked or manipulated in some sense, but it seems as though she attempted to memory hold this stuff, and as much as we heard in the hearings with Zuckerberg that, "Well, when you delete your page, it's gone forever," that may be the case within Facebook servers, but anyone you were friends with might have saved a copy of your page, or saved screenshots of things you'd posted. And the extent to which everything online is permanent. So as long as, someone out there, it could be the smallest actor in the world wants to retain it, I think that's still underappreciated and will remain underappreciated for a while.
49:35 Aaron Powell: I guess looking forward, we're sitting in April right now as we record this, it may come out in May, and at the end of the year we have a Congressional election, and then two years later, we're gonna have a presidential election. And all of this stuff, that if people are still re‐litigating the 2016 campaign, they're gonna get pretty hysterical about this stuff when it's the control of Congress or the next president. What do you think we, being both the American electorate and how we engage with Facebook and Twitter and other things online, and then also policy makers, should do about these concerns before we get to November?
50:24 Will Duffield: I think we ought to keep a very close eye on how these platforms are used coming into the mid‐terms, because all of the incentives to either misuse them, in the case of Russia, or play up that misuse when it comes to a host of domestic political actors, none of that has changed between 2016 and this coming November. Russia, in particular, will have every incentive to meddle just enough or even claim that it has meddled just enough, that the American government will continue to attempt to hobble its vital tech sector.
51:12 Will Duffield: Those who want to see more regulation of online advertising and even speech, will again have every incentive to play up the impacts of bad speech. So policing these sorts of claims, and even if it's the cleanest election in history, you'll see a lot of them, becomes a vitally important democratic duty.

Teach Your Children to Be Safe Pedestrians
Your children's health and safety are of utmost concern to you. As they get older, they go off to school and play, and you can't always be there to protect them. Naturally, you worry about them getting hurt. The best way to ease your worries and increase your children's safety is to teach them to be cautious and safe pedestrians.
One of the biggest safety threats to children is moving vehicles. In 2007, about 14,000 children under 14 were injured (with just over 300 killed) in pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions. The majority of these crashes are due to unsafe crossing behavior by pedestrians. Teaching your children about pedestrian safety at a young age can help to decrease their risk of being involved in crashes as a pedestrian.
Elementary School Children at Greatest Risk
Elementary age children are at greatest risk for vehicle-pedestrian crashes because of their limited developmental skills. Children in this age group:
- Have a field of vision that is 1/3 narrower than an adult's
- Are unable to determine the direction of sounds
- Cannot accurately judge the speed or distance of moving vehicles
- Lack the ability to understand how much time and distance is needed for a vehicle to stop
- Overestimate their abilities
- Are easily distracted, tending to focus on one thing at a time, like a ball or a friend
- Are easily hidden by bushes, parked cars, etc
- Often imitate inappropriate behavior
What can you do to protect your child against injury or death resulting from a pedestrian accident? Here are some guidelines to help.
General Safety Tips
- Never allow children under age 10 to cross streets alone. Parental or adult supervision is essential until the child develops traffic skills and appropriate judgment.
- Hold young children's hands when you are near traffic.
- Make sure that children get in and out of the car on the curb side.
- Require children to wear reflective materials and carry a flashlight at dawn and dusk.
Do not allow children to play in the following places:
- Driveways
- Adjacent, unfenced yards
- Streets
- Parking lots
Teach Your Child Traffic Skills
- First, set boundaries for your small children. Show them where they can play safely and the limits beyond which they cannot go. Enforce your rules.
- As your children grow older, teach them basic rules for crossing the street safely. One of the best ways to do this is to walk with them, demonstrating and explaining the correct way to walk as you go along.
- Teach children to walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic. If sidewalks are not available, they should walks as far to the left as possible
- Set a good example every time you cross the street with them. Children imitate what they see adults and teenagers do. If you walk out between parked cars, jaywalk, or cross against the light, your children will likely do the same.
- Teach your children to stop at the edge of the street and look left-right-left again and listen for vehicles before crossing. Ask children what they see and hear. You need to determine that they know what they are looking for and not just turning their heads.
- Children should be taught to cross the street at least 10 feet in front of a school bus. They should wait for adults on the same side of the street as the school bus loading/unloading zone.
- Intersections are more complex. Teach children to look over their shoulders for vehicles that may be turning as they are looking left-right-left.
- Tell children that even if there is a stop sign or a signal light, drivers do not always obey the rules.
- Teach children to wait until the vehicle stops before venturing out into the street.
- Instruct children that when the light turns green, they should look for turning vehicles before stepping out into the street or crosswalk. Even if they can see a driver, it doesn't mean that the driver has noticed them.

2012 was quite an adventure!
All in all, it's going to be a hard year to top! But I have high hopes for 2013!!
|Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23673975@N07/5322472090/
To quote Kathryn Thompson, author of the Daring Young Mom blog:
As I said goodbye to Magoo and started to walk back home, my mind started to shift.
Drops of Awesome! I thought. Every time you do something good, something kind, something productive, it's a drop in your Bucket of Awesome. You don't lose drops for every misstep. You can only build. You can only fill.
I walked Magoo to the bus. Drop of Awesome!
I fed him fruit with breakfast. Drop of Awesome!
I told him I loved him. Drop of Awesome!
I wore a bra and brushed my teeth before schlepping it up that hill. Two Fat Drops of Awesome!
All day long I chanted these words in my head. I picked up that tootsie roll wrapper off the front porch instead of stepping over it for the eleventy hundredth time. Drop of Awesome! I unloaded one dish from the dishwasher when I walked through the kitchen on my way to the bathroom. Drop of Awesome! I texted my sad neighbor to say I was thinking about her. Drop of Awesome! I had a critical thought about one of my kids and I brushed it away and replaced it with love. Drop of Awesome!
When I started thinking about my life in terms of adding these little Drops of Awesome for every tiny act of good, I found that I was doing more and more of them because it's a lot more fun to do good when you're rewarded with joy, rather than being guilted about every failure in your past.
Drops of Awesome is going to be my personal theme for 2013. I have some huge goals to achieve and exciting adventures planned and I'm going to enjoy them! I'm going to enjoy the journey getting there, too!!
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this life and another new year to explore it!

Interested in our piggies? Get in touch with us via the form below and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. A TIP!! if you email me asking about a Teacup or Nano or Micro or any of the slang words for newborn Miniature pigs I won't use them because then people expect some tiny 3 pound pig that is going to fit in a teacup when it is a adult so I will ignore the email. I won't sell my babies on unrealistic expectations I want people to research them properly. If you want a Miniature Juliana pig or Miniature Pig and you have read about them then email me for a Miniature Juliana pig or Miniature pig not a Micro Nano teacup pig. I do this only because I truly want forever homes for my pigs not someone that is going to dump them off when they get past the baby stage. ALSO Do not message me asking about what pigs I will have available 5-9 months down the line!! I don't know if I will have any available then or not you have to check my available piglets page 5- 9months from now and just see! I keep it updated regular!

The Galician tourist sector is cautious for this December bank holiday, traditionally influenced by urban and local tourism, which is what Galicia usually chooses to make an escape at this time of year. Last minute reservations and weather forecasts will be decisive, which are good overall, although Friday may be rainy. So the general forecasts for the whole of Galicia could be placed in a range around 60 to 70% occupation, in a line similar to the figures marked in December 2015 or 2016, with slightly lower occupations than last year, which was an exceptionally good bridge.
Traditionally, it is a break this type of accommodation is chosen by travellers seeking tranquillity, disconnection and proposals linked to gastronomy – it should be remembered that the Gastronomic Outono is still in progress, without forgetting that many territories are celebrating these days tapas routes and days of exaltation of some product. Also the gastronomy encourages proposals in some municipalities of Costa da Morte or Salnés for this period, which await occupations around 70%, a figure that the hoteliers of Costa da Morte consider very positive. In the Salnés the occupancy may be slightly lower than last year, which marked especially good figures throughout the year and on this particular bridge, but could also be located between 70 and 75%, although in the Rías Baixas rely on last-minute reservations that are entering these days to improve the final occupancy result.
Santiago de Compostela is likely to remain somewhat below, around 60% occupancy, just like Lugo, while Coruña expects to reach around 68% from Wednesday to Saturday, slightly below last year. Those who do have good prospects are the hoteliers of Vigo, many of whom are waiting to hang the sign of complete with travelers who come to the city attracted by the proposal of shopping tourism and Christmas lighting. Expectations for the bridge in the olive hotel industry are high, with occupations around 85% to 90%. Finally Ourense would point out also good results in the city, with the attractiveness of the tourism of purchases and the thermal one, with a forecast of occupation around 75% to 80%, whereas the Ribeira Sacra could be placed between 40% and 60%, with variable figures according to the zone and Pontevedra city would remain in the surroundings of 75% of occupation.

Arguably the engine that put H-D on the map. Reliability and beauty at the same time. The subject of songs, movies and the dream to just have one in the garage with your name on the title (even if it runs or not) I just don't know why they never made it an 80 incher.....
The Tough Guy !
The end result of all it's forefathers . . . The Shovelhead kept the company's (no pun intended) head afloat and lost credo to the Evo as the savior. But, ask any die hard old-timer wrench-n-rider and they'd rather run their shovel than the Evo any day.
The Evolution
It's taken many years, but it's early respect has morphed into the historical respect it deserves. The "rock" of the H-D engine line - It's finally becoming a collector in it's own right. Long live the Evo and welcome to the club !
