Now, I like Assange although I generally hate snitches (let’s be honest he is kinda one of the biggest, nay most famous snitches on the planet), I feel that there is a need for a counter force, and he is a part of this counter force that maintains a balance (though he comes across as a fame whore). So today, our favorite snitch (who is shamelessly milking his 5 minutes of fame to appear on every local, national, and web program on the planet) gave an interview to RT (Russia Times, sort of the new Pravda). And on it he said FB is the “most appalling spy machine that has ever been invented”. And when probed by the (controversy seeking) interviewer he went on to say.
Here we have the world’s most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their locations, their communications with each other, and their relatives, all sitting within the United States, all accessible to US Intelligence.
And he further went on to say that Facebook isn’t the only social network spying on the masses, he believes FB is joined by Google, Yahoo and other major US organizations that have “built in interfaces for US Intelligence”.
It’s not a matter of serving a subpoena, they have an interface they have developed for US Intelligence to use. Now, is the case that Facebook is run by US Intelligence? No, it’s not like that. It’s simply that US Intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them.
And the reason for this? It’s costly for them to hand out individual records, one by one, so they have automated the process. I.E. Intelligence organizations can log-in to FB and spy on you like you spy on your ex-girlfriend. The Wikileaks founder then warns Facebook users- if a user adds their friend to Facebook, they are “doing free work for US Intelligence agencies, in building this electronic database for them”. It’s not like anyone needed anymore reasons to stop using Facebook. So what do you think, is Julian Assange kinda jealous of Mark “the Zuck” Zuckerberg or what? Anyways, note to all journalists if you need a semi famous person to say anything you want, go interview Assange.

I hate fucking Assange, he is like one of those bad movie stars trying to hold on to fleeting fame.
i was recently on family vacation at a Podunk. And guess who was is being interviewed on the local TV network? this guy! the station probably had like 1000 viewers (at peak times). he seems like a fame seeker of the worst kind. i suspect he started weaki leaky just so he could become famous.
why do you call him a snitch?
I agree with the psychopath. FB is the worst thing to happen since the Apartheid.
lol! famous snitch.
the new pravda? I think I just fell in love with you.
you do know that YOU just wrote a critical article on FB, does that mean you too are jealous of Zuckerfucker?
Not really. it just goes to show that she is comfortable with a very high level of cognitive dissonance (a sign of intelligence).
He talks like he knows something. After that BofA let down, I am convinced he is as you said a fame whore.
built in interface? does that mean all our facebooks belong to them?
I agree with Assange, I don’t think it’s jealousy or anything. FB suxs c*ck.
Assange is a typical sociopath.
that is not exactly fair. he has done a lot of good.
he sounds like another freaking tin foil hat wearing idiot.
lol… just like I spy on my ex? hm…
YES! Assange is jealous he doesn’t have 6 fucking billion dollars.
we’re talking about a freaking rapist here. I don’t think his jealousy is something we should be worried about.
This is irrelevant.
And what he said is probably true.
it’s irrelevant that Assange is a rapist? could it be possible that a rapist who shows almost all the signs of being a sociopath has made a biased argument?
Indeed it is irrelevant. The fact that he might be a rapist (it was never proven was it?) has nothing to do with what he said.
I think it is very probable that intelligence services are using social network sites right now to collect data.
You would use it too. You just need to watch the ‘Lets kill all the ‘ group and collect names, and if something happens you will have lots of people to speak with.
he is being tried for it! and it’s an accepted fact that he did it, much like OJ. Just like every other sociopath he thought he was invincible. the important part is he has a strong bias here. due to his psychological condition JA is very likely to be jealous of people like Zuckerberg. I am not even going to make the argument that face book is a dumb place to be if you have secrets because it is! But the fact that JA (Julian Assange) is speaking with a bias cannot be overlooked. More importantly if you pay attention to the media (which I do) you’ll see that he speaks about a lot of topics he has no idea about and his views can be termed controversial (if not worse) he does this just so that the media will keep covering him.
@Ashley you’re very methodical in your argument, like a lawyer.
yeah! the CIA wants to listen in on fat people talking about their sisters weddings. good use of tax dollars! the idiot is talking out of his ass.
lulz
*chuckle* I am a journalist so thank you for the tip!
I think OP is jealous of Assange because his argument is better than OP’s.
you have one of the weirdest writings styles I’ve ever come across.
lol. made me laugh, you. it’s an oxymoron, people who do important stuff enough to get spied on will almost NEVER be on facebook. high level intelligence targets usually get told not to act like fucking 13 year old girls. Assange does come across as a sociopath, his own team members feel that he is a pr*ck. And many of them have abandoned “his” cause.
