The Evil that is Facebook

Finally, someone else is pointing out the headache that is Facebook. Tom Hodginson from the Guardian talks about faces behind the infamous Facebook. He describes it as a ... some kind of extension of the American imperialist programme crossed with a massive information-gathering tool and berates it's cursed ability to breakdown face to face human communication. Here's where it gets into the nitty gritty. Hodginson takes an in-depth look at the 3 board members who are shaping Facebook as a world domination tool - Peter Thiel (who has been portrayed as dabbling in right wing, neoconservative pastimes), Zuckerberg and Jim Breyer ( shown to have indirect connections to CIA and thus the concerns over privacy). Very interesting read.
