Hey @facebook, demanding the secret password of the personal email accounts of your users for verification, or any other kind of use, is a HORRIBLE idea from an #infosec point of view. By going down that road, you're practically fishing for passwords you are not supposed to know!

How Silicon Valley is erasing your individuality - The Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com)"Facebook represents a dangerous deviation in media history.

Text is rendered with an LTR or RTL direction automatically as the user types. You should not need to do anything to set direction yourself."
