   Facebook has been omnipresent this week, and Zuckerberg asking forgiveness from wise old men of Congress is a distant memory.

   These bits stand out:

   - FB applies to patent a face recognition system that ranks you matching your social media activity with your buyer profile in shops.

   - FB prepares to launch its own satellites

   - Zuckerberg says it's not for FB's to do anything about "Holocaust deniers" (euphemism for Nazis)

     @h None of those things particularly bother me.I have many concerns about FB, all of which revolve around them being too eager to moderate. But the points listed here arent really issues for me, I agree it is not FB's place to be moderating "Holocaust deniers", nor do i care if they want to launch satellites.

     That said I do wonder if they are still going around moderating every FB group that pisses people off or not...
