Twitter was started and managed by the CIA.

Facebook was started and managed by the CIA.

Google was started and managed by the CIA.

They all started out neutral, and particularly Facebook and Google got away with massive law violations, while buying any up any competitors (Youtube, Instagram, for example.)

Trivia: Google was started at Stanford, and was using over half of Stanford's entire mainframe computing capability during the start up. Want to guess who runs a CIA internship? Stanford. Don't get me started on Harvard, which is where Facebook started.

Trivia: the CIA operation Lifelog was intended to collect all information about a person. They officially killed the LifeLog program on February 4, 2004. Guess what started that day? "On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "TheFacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com"

Careful. You’re going to wind up being qualified to be on the nut-job conspiracy ping list.

Like me.

I can accept that the CIA played a large role in the development and oversight of the social media. But the CIA can't very well observe, listen to, and hack conservatives if they are banned from the social media.

Ergo, the banning of conservatives from the social media is NOT a CIA plot. It just doesn't pass the smell (or rational judgment) test.

“Facebook was started and managed by the CIA.”

Developed by DARPA.

DARPA was involved in a bunch of this also.
