Dan GillmorWashington Post story casting major doubt on Portugal's drug legalization quotes mostly police and -- as is essentially always the case in drugs coverage -- fails to ask, much less attempt to answer, this question:

I guess on some deep level I don't understand why Mark Zuckerberg needs all of my personal data three separate times. It's starting to seem like an obsession.
