"If websites are subject to liability for failing to remove third-party content whenever someone objects, they will be subject to the 'heckler's veto,' giving anyone who complains unfettered power to censor speech," according to briefs filed Nov. 19 by lawyers for Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Amazon, Gawker and BuzzFeed, among others.

EOG, for example is planning to drill 53 Bakken wells this year and can continue that pace for the next dozen years. The company could simply quicken its pace. Similarly, Continental could boost its $3.6 billion capital spending plan and drill more wells this year.
