Last year, the State Department announced with great fanfare a new social media campaign to counter ISIS' online messaging. They called it "Think Again, Turn Away," and created Twitter and Facebook accounts in that name. Its self-described purpose on Facebook: "Our mission is to expose the facts about terrorists and their propaganda."
When it comes to the fate of the US stock market (and economy), no company is more important than Apple. As reported previously, the world's most valuable company by market cap not only accounted for 20% of all U.S. margin expansion since 2010, but is among the key drivers behind US retail sales, and thus GDP growth. In short, if AAPL is about to hit a growth wall, then say goodbye to US margin growth and say hello to the service (because manufacturing is already in it) recession.
Unfortunately, this worst case scenario increasingly looks like the most likely one.

Most Palestinian videos are simply a record of their bitter experiences of occupation at the hands of soldiers and settlers. It is these experiences, not the videos, that drive Palestinians to breaking point. A "war on incitement" waged through YouTube and Facebook won't change Palestinian suffering. But it may, Mr Netanyahu presumably hopes, conceal Israel's brutality from the eyes of the world.
