Facebook or (CIA) Factbook?

I’ve just come across a rather disturbing article by Marie on Common Ground Sense analysing Facebook.

Not only does she highlight some very strange clauses in Facebook’s privacy policy, most notably the collection of ‘information about you from other sources, such as newspapers and instant messaging service’, but she also suggests the whole enterprise is funded by the CIA. Admittedly, she stretches the argument almost to the full six-degrees of separation, but it still raises interesting issues into this vast database Facebook seem intent on developing.

Another article can be found on Prison Planet.
