La politique, l’activisme, c’est pas trop son truc. Sauf peut être quand il faut aider certains régimes pas très démocratiques à tomber sur le râble d’activistes. On reprochait déjà au réseau social de vous mentir sur les informations que vous partagez. On lui reprochait également de lire vos messages privés, violant au passage le secret de votre correspondance, et de ne pas acheminer les dits messages si ces derniers contenaient des choses qui ne plaisent pas à Facebook (comme un lien sur The Pirate Bay)… Voilà que maintenant, comme Yahoo il y a quelques jours qui affichait un message d’erreur à l’envoi de tout mail contenant les mots Wall Street, Facebook censure purement et simplement des posts et des sets de photo de la manifestation qui enflamme le haut lieu du capitalisme mondial, aujourd’hui sur le déclin.

The big three media companies – Fox, NBC, & CNN have knowingly shelved the story as much as possible.

Psychologist and psychoanalyst Todd Essig sees what he wants to see in the movement. The Geography of Occupying Wall Street (And Everywhere Else) The nascent movement known as Occupy Wall Street had its largest single day of protests on Saturday.
And a funny thing happened: most of the action was far from Wall Street itself. No, I don’t mean at Zuccotti Park — which is not, technically, on Wall Street. Nor do I mean Times Square — all of 19 minutes away from Wall Street on the C train — where large crowds of protesters gathered on Saturday. Instead, I mean Europe, where crowds in cities like Rome, Barcelona and Madrid were estimated at 200,000 to 500,000 per city (more, probably, than the protests in the United States combined).
