Hi kspacewalk2,

I'm John and I have views on privacy that are completely genuine and happen to align with what benefits the corporation(s) that my company, TotallyLegitimateComments LLC, contracts for. I believe advertisement is a force for good in the world and can bring together people and products that enrich their lives while creating value for shareholders! While I'd love to share what wonderful businesses my company works with, various privacy agreements prevent us from doing so. However, I can tell you that they all appreciate the fact that you find their views important! We will continue to lobby your congressmen on your behalf to ensure that these views are reflected in the nations laws! Thanks and remember, corporations are people like you and me!

Sincerely, John



It's like push polling... Poller: "Are you A) a reasonable person who agrees with my totally rational question or B) a psychopath who won't THINK OF THE CHILDREN?" Person taking poll: "Uh, A?"


This is a total straw man.



Is that satire? I'm genuinely unsure if that's a real account, a shill, innocent satire or malicious satire.

I wonder what that says about the state of "truth" on the Internet.


Wow, that's quite sad to read. Imagine believing a place you spend 10 hours a day at has no effect on your mental health.


Is it? Remember how the FCC got millions of anti net-neutrality comments from some group using stolen identities of people?
