Wisconsin Power Play

Last week in the during some protest against Wisconsin’s new union-busting governor, Scott Walker demonstrations that continued through the weekend with huge crowds on Saturday. Representative Paul Ryan made an comparison by mistake saying “It’s like Cairo has moved to Madison.” Which was not a good thing to compair to with all the stuff going in Egypt and so compair that to the Wisconsin people. I dont think that someone at that level in the gov't should be compairing the people to that. Its shocking that the people that are suppose to vote just fled the states. They should just do the vote without them.

Connecticut AG Asks Facebook to Detail Fraud Response.

Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen is asking Facebook about how it detects and disables fraudulent accounts, after a state legislator said her identity was misused in a scam to solicit her friends for money. Jepsen asked Facebook for information about the number of complaints it had received in the last 18 months about fraudulent or hacked accounts, policies for responding to such complaints and how long it took the company to do so. The company’s policy on such situations includes developing “complex technical systems to flag and block suspicious behavior, including the creation of phony accounts,” as well as “providing easy reporting channels for people to let us know when something is wrong, and educating people on how to protect themselves,” a spokesman said in an e-mailed statement.
