Would you mind telling me at what kind of Enterprise you had that experience with finance?

I led a product finance team at a SaaS company (ServiceNow, Atlassian, Okta, etc. tier) and all of our models and analyses are product driven including a/b testing and surveys with customers.

Can you cite your sources on "pot" being addictive?

From Facebook's POV? Very serious.

Edit: For added context, I worked on this along with several other FB Connectivity projects.

I’ve heard it’s easier to travel conspicuously and less risky than traveling with suitcases of cash.

“Hunting” rifles and semi-automatic rifles that are erroneously referred to as “assault rifles” are functionally the same. Almost nowhere can you readily buy automatic rifles.

Given that they are not operating as neutral public venues then they should also not be afforded protection under Section 230. If they actively moderate they should be fully liable.

Your example does not match the Uber/Lyft situation. They are free to stop driving at any time and are not stranded in a foreign land without vital identification.
