I downvoted your comment but please keep in mind that Facebook is a large company that needs to lobby the federal government on a variety of issues, which necessitates a presence in DC.
Also, the Secret Service employs some of the smartest and most capable people in the federal government. Any company is lucky to hire ex-USSS agents.
Using these two points as evidence that humanity collectively has "no privacy" is not only false on the surface but dishonest when closely examined. There are valid critiques of both the US Government's use of the Internet and, separately, Facebook, but these two are not intellectually honest.
- neurobuddha 10y agoFacebook is a large company that needs to lobby the federal government on a variety of issues, which necessitates a presence in DC. What a ridiculous statement. I wish I had enough karma to downvote you.
- ZanyProgrammer 10y ago"Also, the Secret Service employs some of the smartest and most capable people in the federal government"-the plethora of stories in the past several years about the SS fucking up on many, many levels would indicate that they probably hire mediocre, middle of the road candidates (at most). They aren't superhuman, or caricatures from a Tom Clancy novel.
