China bought the browser, not the other way around. Your logic isn't.

I'm interested in what Amnesty International and similar organizations might think.

This makes no sense.

I get over most things quickly though. But I've also seen myself get overwhelmed by all life's disruption and bite the wrong hands.

When I'm anxious or sorrowful it will sometimes come out in a rage-like tantrum, typically short-lived but I can be sharp tongued.

It's understandable, though. If most folks with access to global information aren't traumatized to some extent I'd be surprised.

I don't necessarily agree, but I don't live the facts. That's why I ask, after all. Perspectives matter and are varied @lamarca_

Always have. Very controlled and that's what concerns me. China is moving into dangerous territory as it is with #southchinasea

Right? Oh boy. Seriously, it brings up really important concerns and we need to get on them IMO.

I really think everyone is taken a little by surprise by this. It seemed almost as if it wasn't really going to actually happen.

You know we will, we just can't get there today LOL! In fact, we have a lot of focus on desktop to do first.

The sale was underway for 1.2 billion but today was announced that fell through so sold the browser interests for half that.

I truly bought into the freedom ideals of the 1960s only to find with time the world had not. I bought into the ideals of the Web too. Ouch!

We're all too quick to assume negativity and blame these days. We can have honest discussions without beat-downs, can't we? Maybe we can't.

My concern about the #opera sale to Chinese interests is not about blame. We must honestly analyze this in a context of the sociopolitical.

Wow. I can't even imagine. That's predatory. I passionately assure you we are in *no* way interested in controlling you or the Web.
This is by far the coolest thing to have happened in the last week. #SpaceX #ISS #falcon9

And control. Two things I care nothing about: Controlling humans and a self-serving empire of material riches.
Glad at least one person gives a damn. Where are the standards orgs? Is the health of the WORLD wide web NOT a global concern?
