[governance] Barack Obama Victory Tweet Most Retweeted Ever

[Fahd A. Batayneh]

Suresh, I read the entire thread of e-mails before I wrote my reply to you.
There are two things to note in the article:

   1. The words "*... most retweeted ever*" was mentioned. This is social
   networking; a main pillar of IG.
   2. The article goes on to say that "*Well over half a million users of
   image-sharing social network Instagram posted images of themselves voting.
   However, US law experts were quick to warn voters that in some states it is
   in fact illegal to take and share such images*". This relates to
   openness; mainly privacy and to some extent IP.

When a person joins a mailing list, they have to expect the varying volume
of traffic. I share on the mailing list articles that I believe to be
within the boundaries of IG and AFTER READING IT. If that does not suit
one, as Charity mentioned "*One can hit the delete button*".

In the end, it is always not easy to satisfy everyone's desires.
I hope that clarifies your concerns.

Fahd
