Maybe he’s a MySpace guy.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange called Facebook “the most appalling spying machine ever invented” in an interview with Russia Today, pointing to the popular social networking site as one of the top tools for the U.S. to spy on its citizens.
“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,” he said. “Facebook, Google, Yahoo, all these major U.S. organizations have built-in infaces for US intelligence.
“Everyone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook they are doing free work for the United States intelligence agencies,” he added.
Assange often battles the “#1 Enemy” himself. As much as I see him as a necessity (and I do,) he’s shown himself to be scum on a personal level.
Well said Jolly and I agree!
Yep, If he had more consideration for others, he wouldn’t be in this pickle. What happens when he is extradited to the US is another story. I really hope that their is no such thing as a corporate judiciary…G:

Am writing a thesis on Public Trust in Government, WikiLeaks and the Media and need to know what your opinions are. The online survey is multiple choice and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please follow the link: http://www.kwiksurveys.com/?s=ILLLML_9669e09d. Would be great if you would encourage others to do the survey also.
I don’t know you and I won’t be doing your survey because I don’t do surveys. I certainly won’t encourage others to do it either.
Likewise, I’m sure. This is not about my opinion, but to point out what wikileaks has to say about social networks.
