>> Stephen: WE ALL KNOW WHAT A HUGE IMPACT FACEBOOK HAD ON

Adverbs of degree

AND THE DANGERS OF FACEBOOK'S POWER HAVE JUST BEEN ADDRESSED

IN A NEWLY RELEASED INTERNAL MEMO BY FACEBOOK EXECUTIVE AND

GUY ABOUT TO RAP ABOUT FRACTIONS, ANDREW BOSWORTH.

IN HIS MEMO, BOSWORTH ACKNOWLEDGED THAT FACEBOOK HAD

BEEN LATE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF DATA SECURITY,

MISINFORMATION, AND FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.

YOU JUST ANNOUNCED FACEBOOK WON'T STOP RUNNING POLITICAL ADS

AND WON'T STOP CANDIDATES FROM LYING IN THEM.

YOU'RE ON MY TURF DEFENDING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

A MAN WE CAN BEST DESCRIBE AS MORGOTH'S LEFT NARD.

PERHAPS YOU KNOW HIM BY HIS VALAR NAME, MELKOR?

THEN BUCKLE UP, MELLON, BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO SCHOOL THE SHIRE

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) FACEBOOK-- FACEBOOK-- FACEBOOK

IS AN ALL-POWERFUL DEVICE USED BY THE FORCES OF EVIL TO CORRUPT

THE MINDS AND HEARTS OF MEN, SO IT'S LESS LIKE THE ONE

RING AND MORE LIKE THE NINE RINGS THAT TURNED THE FALLEN

KINGS INTO THE NAZGUL BEFORE BINDING THEIR FATE TO THAT OF

OH, AND, ALSO, UNLIKE YOU, GALADRIEL DOESN'T COLLECT A
