Well a competitor wouldn't be the brainchild of CIA's LifeLog program, for starters.

- meowface 6y agoSource? I see this claim made in a few places, but I can't find any evidence beyond "Facebook was created the same day LifeLog was shut down" (February 4, 2004). Not that I'm a fan of Facebook's data collection, but claiming it's a CIA operation is a substantial claim that would require substantial evidence beyond that date being shared, which very easily could be a coincidence. (Also, if it were really planned as a secret successor, why would they publicly do it on the same date?) I'm pretty skeptical Zuckerberg was in contact with the CIA when he started Facebook in his dorm room if that's the only piece of evidence.
