Facebook could be considered as a strategic military asset, as it is capable of quite accurately mapping people around the world. Relationships between people in Iran, same place same time, same IP, ghost profiles...

If you were the CIA, wouldn’t you work on protecting/ preventing such people from having a trial?

Of course it is. I agree with your comment. I also think FB is the work of secret services, from its inception to the present day. I've seen Zuck talk, and he doesn't strike me as a specially smart guy. But he's young and always smiling, shows enthusiasm and that's what people need. It's a nice cover.

If you don’t look at Facebook’s origin story this could almost be believable.

"If you owe the bank a million dollars, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank."
