You missed the other half. Brilliant enough to do it, yet stupid enough to get caught by turning one on the same day as the other. The history of FB isn’t murky at all. There’s some fine points various people disagree on but the core (including actually starting in 2003) history is well documented.
You brought in Obama as a red herring. I didn’t bite the herring.
Ok, sorry you’re just wrong. There’s lots that isn’t agreed upon...but whatever, it’s apparent that you don’t see the alignment of behavior between FB, the rest of the tech giants, and elements of government in how they’re going to try to influence this upcoming election. Yeah...it’s all just nonsense right?!?
...my point about arrogance (that you missed); the very reason one system was shut down the same day another is brought online. They didn’t think it would be noted - it’s also too big a coincidence. Going from one system developed by the government with the goal of learning everything about everyone - which would be unconstitutional - and another that has accomplished exactly that....on the same day. How do you explain that? There’s many that consider this very odd.
