      Absolutely. Remember: technology will make everything move to fewer and fewer sources. If you wanted a book 20 years ago, you went to your local bookstore; now you go to one company. And so the people that get to this place first put their flag on it and claim it as their own. ( this video ) I'm glad Jeff was there first (essentially) but we can still decide the future we want.

      Right, because the Do-Not-Track flag was respected oh so well. The only people that seem to care about flags are an invading colonizing system: this video
