We love us some conspiracy theories here at the Tripwire, it’s what keeps us so jaded and skeptical of everyone and everything. Wait, that’s a bad thing? Oh well, either way, this video showing the corporate structure and breakdown of Facebook‘s privacy policies is definitely on the scary-end of Big Brother conspiracy theories.
We already knew Facebook collects a ton of data on us and everyone who has a profile. As the video creator Kingmannafta goes onto explain, the small print we agree to not only allows our information to be used by and licensed to any third parties Facebook so chooses, your images and postings can be used for advertisements and promotion for both FB and those third parties. Imagine the surprise of seeing that picture of you smoking a bong ending up on a anti-drug commercial ruining your chances of Olympic gold.
But the real juice of the video starts at around the 1:50 mark, when the narrator begins to explain the corporate structure of who’s running Facebook — including radical conservative groups and shareholders with ties to the CIA, US Department of Defense and the recently exposed Information Awareness Office, which was created to “gather as much information as possible about everyone, in a centralized location for perusal by the United States Government.”
Considering this video was created in 2006, we’re not saying you should subscribe to this theory, but maybe you should re-consider letting everyone on Facebook aware of everything you do. Besides, no one cares about your “25 Things” anyway.
These are all facts, so I don’t know how it’s a “conspiracy theory”. The government doesn’t have to watch its own people when they volunteer the details of their personal lives at every moment of the day. It doesn’t take two people to watch one person anymore, it takes one incredibly well architected data mining social network, to watch all of its users.
Yes, but the real problem is that whoever is raising these ignorant hellians(18 year old out of touch acedemically lead), are not taking into account their own civil liberties, which means, in a ‘majority rules’ society, that our very own liberties (read word’s definition before judging) will be destroyed. All it takes is a majority of facebook subscribers to feel that they are all so powerful, and start to erode our civil ‘liberties’ through voting, as what happened when you know who got into OFFICE (because they gave them up so sleazily to advertiser (cartels)) that we should just do the same, because they will soon be the majority, as Ted Turner has planned. Watch CNN and realize that old (insecure) Ted has it in for your liberties as an AMERICAN when journalist can’t just be reporters anymore and always want to “weigh in” on your opinions (on facebook/twitterbrain only, of course) to see what the majority smelly asshole/opinion is, skunk. Bye, bye ms. american sweetie pie! Bye, bye! Drove my toyota to the boata but the boata was sunk.
, WOW what a big help this will be, best
