- joering2 8y agoCIA founded Google, for one. An apple doesn't fall far from a tree. https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-research-grants-for-mass-surveillance/ https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-ci...
- praneshp 8y agoIsn't that a bit of a jump, and specifically called out in the quartz article as not true? "Did the CIA directly fund the work of Brin and Page, and therefore create Google? No."
- nitrogen 8y agoYou should probably quote the article title too: "Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance" The gist I got from skimming it is that the CIA didn't "directly" fund them because that's handled by a differwnt group acting in their interest.
