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...
ReplyDeletejulian assange is my absolute hero! guys forcing free speech, and not even the governments can shut him up! followed!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I completely agree.
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteHard to make up my mind on this.
ReplyDeletehe may have a point, especially given how willing large corporations are to just hand over information to each other never mind the government
ReplyDeleteHe has a point, but I don't have anything in particular to hide myself, so I'm going to continue to use facebook.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring person this guy is.
ReplyDeleteHe'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
ReplyDeletehe makes some valid points.
ReplyDeletehe's so crazy
ReplyDeletewhat a lunatic
ReplyDeletejust be careful with your private information and don't do anything that would make US intelligence start getting interest in you ))
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Julian and that is why I rarely use Facebook.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda true...
ReplyDeleteAssange is a hero
ReplyDeleteDefinitely possible...
ReplyDeletei 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso the most ingenious targeted marketing arsenal every invented = $$
ReplyDeleteall true, hes a god.
ReplyDeleteHe 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletewhat a guy indeed!
ReplyDeleteyeah def
ReplyDeleteit's sad because...hes basically right.
ReplyDeleteI think he's right
ReplyDeleteIts 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?
