Cuco: Facebook met with conservatives to make peace after they were accused of steering users away from conservative content. How are they going to appease these angry right-wingers? Eddie: They can change their name to "Hatebook."
It’s even easier than that. A web site can have more than one registered name. They can just register “hatebook.com” and give it the same address as facebook.com. The software can easily be modified to use whatever name was in the URL, so people see whichever name they used. That way, they can support a list of different user populations with different preferences. Just think of the fun people could have debating which of the similar social-media sites is best, not realizing that they’re actually all the same site with different names.

Why is it the Conservatives feel their actions don’t speak more loudly than their postings? Paper lays and lies straight!
