2004, no Obama. Try again.
The problem with most conspiracy theories is they rely on these faceless masters that are so smart they can accomplish all these things and so stupid they do “obvious” things like publicly pull the plug on one and plug the other in on the same day. Took a long time for FB to become a monster, any secret government program would have been considered a failure and been pulled before then. Out in reality it was the right app at the right time that caught the wave of public interest. No conspiracies needed, just a better UI than the competition.
I didn’t suggest it was created by Obama. I’m just pointing out the nature of government and looking at how we know the CIA/NSA has behaved (regarding data gathering on American’s) it just makes one consider how far back this behavior goes.
If you don’t believe it is being used to control what billions believe (and vote) then you’re truly not paying attention to these drones.
