In an interview with Russia Today, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange went all conspiracy theorist on Facebook. He says:
Assange didn't out and declare Facebook was working in cahoots with US intelligence but said that:Facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented. Here we have the worlds most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their location their communication with each other, their relatives all accessible to US intelligence.
Julian Assange! What a guy. Watch the whole interview at Russia Today.Everyone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing free work for United States intelligence agencies, and building this database for them

idk. i kind of agree with him...
julian assange is my absolute hero! guys forcing free speech, and not even the governments can shut him up! followed!
Yeah, I completely agree.
I don't think he is paticularly wrong... but we Americans live in a very open society so it only looks odd to the rest of the world .... I don't care if the government is spying on me...
Hard to make up my mind on this.
he may have a point, especially given how willing large corporations are to just hand over information to each other never mind the government
He has a point, but I don't have anything in particular to hide myself, so I'm going to continue to use facebook.
What an inspiring person this guy is.
He's kind of right about that one. I think it's mostly because people are not too afraid of releasing information about themselves on facebook, not that it's facebook's problem
he makes some valid points.
he's so crazy
what a lunatic
just be careful with your private information and don't do anything that would make US intelligence start getting interest in you ))
I completely agree with Julian and that is why I rarely use Facebook.
It's kinda true...
Assange is a hero
Definitely possible...
i agree totally. it is even bad enough now that they track your browsing habits and purchases on other sites by offering you to log in with your facebook account and 4square. i will never have a fagbook account with virtual friends i dont give a fuck about. i use the phone or email.
Also the most ingenious targeted marketing arsenal every invented = $$
all true, hes a god.
He is 100% correct. Although, if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide. And if you are good at doing something wrong, you probably won't be found ;)
I mean, he's right that it is a huge database of people's info like that, but I doubt it's the government spying on us.
what a guy indeed!
yeah def
it's sad because...hes basically right.
I think he's right
Its just like he says. Sad but true. You may not care about the government, but what if a quick look through your FB profile is what makes your job application go to the wastebin?
