Quick Viewpoints: Tuesday 13th January 2015

A few quick thoughts from the Viewpoint OpsCentre…

Facebook are presenting warnings on the front of videos that contain violent imagery, making them the only videos that don’t autoplay.  Apart from having all videos not autoplay automatically, there should be a warning on videos that will actively reduce your IQ by a few points…

A bitcoin entrepreneur who renounced his US citizenship to avoid paying taxes, is now unable to re-enter the US, because he doesn’t have enough ties to his new home country of St Kitts & Nevis.  Tragic irony, or poetic justice?  You tell me…

Ireland’s Director of Public Prosecutions is to appeal the four-year sentence, with the last two years suspended, handed down to a Co Donegal man found guilty of dangerous driving causing the deaths of eight people.  I should think so too, that sentence is a travesty of a sham of a mockery.  Human life should not be so poorly valued.

Nigel Farage made another Fox News appearance to say there are no go areas for non-muslims in France, just days, after another pundit said Birmingham in England had no non-muslims.  Heck, he’s making more appearances on Fox News than he has cast votes in the European Parliament…
