Facebook has been down a lot of the day and we are calling an audible and streaming on YouTube this evening. We want to go over some of what we have found in this mess of a story, because some of it is not as it may seem once you start to dig into it. Shortly after the show some of it is already unfolding and the main whistleblower is heading before the senate Oct 5th to testify why social media needs more government control. Do we also laugh\\u2026 of course. Mostly at ourselves, and partially at shower thoughts.
