YES, SOCIAL MEDIA can enrich DEMOCRACY if and only used RESPONSIBLY!

If France's point was to remind us of the commercialization of our lives... then their ban on the use of "Facebook" and "Twitter" is valid... additionally by realizing so, one should also remember that the "spaces" they control are private... and belong to them... under their rules.. just like the pseudo public space of the private malls... the speech might be public and protected... but the hosting of it is more and more subject to control... by those who own and control the servers etc.

No it can't. Never trust any kind of media, full of hypocrisy, such as your bullshit Al Jazeera.

@stereoarchitect plus "low level nuclear reaction" (cold fusion) exists. so alternative energy is very plausible!! as long as big gov/corporate influence stays the f*ck out of it.
