Facebook Is A Surveillance Company Disguised As Social Media Edward Snowden

Former CIA employee and NSA contractor, Edward Snowden, best known for leaking classified documents about illegal worldwide surveillance program named PRISM back in 2013, recently took to Twitter to share his opinions about ‘social media’ platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as “surveillance companies.” Their rebranding as “social media” is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense.

Facebook makes their money by exploiting and selling intimate details about the private lives of millions, far beyond the scant details you voluntarily post. They are not victims. They are accomplices. https://t.co/mRkRKxsBcw

However, this isn’t all that Snowden had to say about Facebook and other social media platforms. Earlier that day Snowden also said that “Facebook makes their money by exploiting and selling intimate details about the private lives of millions, far beyond the scant details you voluntarily post. They are not victims. They are accomplices.”
