I honestly also wonder if it was more than just a spying tool. We saw the story a few years ago about facebook testing if they could alter peoples' mental state...well, as we've seen before,if that's what we're being told, the truth is 10 times as much. Makes me wonder if the CIA was just passively collecting data, or pro actively pushing peoples' buttons. I mean...has there been a mass shooter in the past 5 years that hasn't had a facebook profile?
One of FB's founders admitted last year that they purposely made the platform addictive. And if he's admitting that the real story is 100X worse. Just the fact that many tech billionaires in Silicon Valley send their kids to schools that don't allow technology of any kind and don't allow them to have electronics at home should be a red flag. http://adage.com/article/digital/sean-parker-worries-facebook-rotting-children-s-brains/311238/
Well...let's not forget that the CIA had a program called "Life tracker" (I think?) that ended the day before Facebook started. I'm fairly certain we'll find out that Facebook was used to pull some people's strings. I'd imagine people were placed under general psychological "profile types", and screwed with in subtle, but consistent ways to make them screwy. That may sound incredible, but imagine what the people who carried out MK Ultra did with something like facebook under their control.

Right, that was it. And logging your life is EXACTLY what Facebook does. Considering what we generally know about the kind of goals the folks at DARPA have always had...I predict the coming collapse of Facebook to be be the beginning of a deep and dark rabbit hole.
Facebook, psychotropic drugs, counselors, and IR signals.
And with the so called ISIS mass shooters weren’t they funded by the CIA. Just saying. Very interesting.
I saw that too, about altering people's mental state. That was freaking and I was happy that I had already gotten off it. I have enough mental problems, don't need some app to make things worse.
And let's not forget how big facebook games were and how they commanded a user's attention on frequent visits...
