Facebook was setup by the C.I.A. as a data mining project to collect as much information on as many people as they could.

So what's all this nonsense about privacy, security and safety.

Oh man......sikorus must have gotten banned as you're a "newbie" again. Welcome to MY WORLD. Though I haven't gotten banned in years because I decided to play nice.


As for your comment about the C.I.A. setting up Facebook. Man that's a real nasty conspiracy theory....and a ridiculous one at that.

Take no offense here but I imagine if you believe this, then you probably are on board with the theory that the government was tangibly responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Please oh please don't say that.




As for the article, I'm truly befuddled that FB users are using TOR to encrypt the very data they are publicly displaying on FB. That's like ordering a diet coke and rum to save calories.

Unfortunately, there is NO diplomatic way to tell someone their thought pattern is ridiculous. Face it...you brought it on by claiming the C.I.A. started FB.

Sooooo...........are you a believer of 9/11 conspiracy? I'm betting on YES!

L'ingMAO!

The only time I combine Tor with FB is if Twitter link me to FB to watch a pay per view stream, with acceptable 3 to 5 mins. delaye (4-free).

Why trust "FB Onion" when we can use the real Tor ?!
Just saying.
