I was Zuckerberg’s speechwriter
Am I alone in thinking this isn't heresy? A country or federal state is just a company with a monopoly over law in a certain geographical region. Facebook's "monopoly" is at least subject to the whim of the market, as the Delete Facebook campaign shows.<p>Look at last week. The senate was on their high-horse, admonishing facebook for privacy infringements, totally unaware of the irony they are an appendage of the same entity which created the NSA and continues to eavesdrop on all of our conversations.<p>We can all opt out of Facebook. Thankfully many have. But NSA surveillance is involuntary.<p>Why are we more worried about a voluntary and foreseeable risk than an involuntary rights violation?<p>Don't interpret this as saying Facebook acted appropriately.
