Those people were caught committing a crime. And it's not the kind of crime one could commit by mistake, they were entering a country illegally.

All new web standars are a terrible idea to our privacy and security. And for some reason nobody seems to care.

I know your comment is in jest, but no, developed countries don't owe developing countries shit.
The argument usually is "this will be used to target minorities/dissidents/illegal immigrants"
Or maybe people don't care about being spied upon, getting updates, and don't even know what bloatware is.
Pretty sure like 0.001% of those accounts did that. But it's a good excuse, granted.

I think the real reason they got banned is that under every tweet of every blue-checkmark liberal on Twitter you'd find dozens of replies of accounts called NPC209834029 with the same avatar nodding and saying the same platitudes. But of course, when all the replies to all Trump tweets are from blue-checkmarks shitting on him, Twitter doesn't seem to care. :P I think neither should be banned, but I guess they know better.

My personal guide about web typography:

Don't change the user's default text spacing, indentation, justification. Respect his and his system's choices.

My personal guide to web typography:

Don't. Use the user's fonts.

Personally I don't care much about FB because I don't use it. Google, on the other hand...

On the other hand, writing self-righteous comments about how superior you are for seeing emojis as immature is very mature.

Yes, they will have the choice of also selling Android handsets without Play Services, which before they couldn't do.
