Vladimir is angry that
the Ukraine doesn't like him best, so he considered beating them
until they loved him. Then he thought he would take their resources.
Sounds like politics as taught at the old KGB schools.

Does this change the

that take it without paying me?

For
years, entrepreneurs have floated the idea of paying people for their
personal data rather than just taking it without asking, the standard
approach of many marketers.
Now,
a few entrepreneurs are advancing plans to get cash or benefits into
your hands in exchange for letting marketers have direct access to
your social network activity, Internet browsing, purchases and other
