Wait. US audiences == English-speaking, and English-speaking == US audiences?

By not using English, first of all, they're limiting which non-US audiences they can propogandize (for better or for worse).

Furthermore, not only is English not the only language used in the US, it's not even our OFFICIAL language! So they can impact US residences and Americans without using English at all. What an odd statement for them to make.




Oh, I agree, it's weasel worded (on purpose, I'm sure). I just wanted to point out that they seem to be going to great lengths to ensure people it's not happening on FB, Twitter or other US social networks.

I personally don't think it's right regardless but I also thought the discussion was devolving quickly with comments about them doing it in the US when the article clearly states otherwise.


Yup; nothing against you, it just seemed like a good place to drop a reply that was vaguely on-topic.
