- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoDo you require everything you read to spell out everything for you point blank? Are you unable to connect dots? The DARPA lifelog project ended the day Facebook was announced by a college dropout no one had ever heard of before. Facebook just happened to have the exact same goals / features as the lifelog project. Must just be a giant coincidence huh?
- CrazyStat 7mo agoI require at least some evidence. Your own source says there is none.
- ohyoutravel 7mo agoI think they’re trolling you, see their username.
- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoOh yes, because intelligence agencies are known for broadcasting their moves to everyone. I can guarantee you believe in a lot of things that you have no actual evidence of happening - just some perceived authority figure you trust for whatever reason, telling you it happened. Also - WHYY.org has received support through NewsMatch partner funds, which often includes contributions from large technology firms like Facebook (Meta) to support local journalism. These funds are generally used to match donations, helping stations like WHYY increase their financial sustainability and support public media. What a surprise!
- CrazyStat 7mo agoYou chose your sources, not me.
- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoBesides bloggers / youtubers who have written / talked about this, there's a single news story returned by Google, which I sourced. If there were other articles to source from, I would have. Given that our internet was created by DARPA and has always been under the control of intelligence agencies / governments, it's not shocking that there aren't a plethora of sources regarding Facebook emerging from DARPA.

- Quarrelsome 7mo agoyeah I'm sure an immensely powerful and shadowy conspiracy trusted their most critical operation to a 20 year old college dropout. Makes sense to me.
- tinfoilhatter 7mo agoHave you ever considered the idea that Zuck is just an actor / a face?
- Quarrelsome 7mo agosure. I don't think its a strong argument. You can control someone for a bit, but giving a 20 year old that much power and resource over this long an amount of time is far too loose a leash to constitute a robust plan. If we're going full tin foil then I think its more likely he's literally a robot than a front man for some shadowy cabal.
