Article starts with "I despise Facebook." Aside from that possible bias, the best it asserts is that a partner at one of Facebook's VC investors is on the board of In-Q-Tel.
- pera 12y agoYes, exactly. The Guardian article talks about Howard Cox; from In-Q-Tel (https://www.iqt.org/about-iqt/ https://www.iqt.org/about-iqt/): > Howard Cox is an Advisory Partner of Greylock, a national venture capital firm. Greylock with committed capital of over $2 billion under management has been an active investor in enterprise software, consumer internet and healthcare. This is the closest connection I know between In-Q-Tel and Facebook, that's why I posted that link. (note that OP said "indirectly")
- CPLX 12y ago> note that OP said "indirectly" The indirectly comment is referring to the CIA itself. Funding by IQT would thus be indirect versus funding by the CIA. The problem is there's no credible evidence of either, just fairly weak circumstantial stuff at best.
