Many (decent) articles on the internet have traced various FB shareholders to ultra-right-wing neocon groups and even to the CIA. See: http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Facebook http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10456534 http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/14/facebook In the user agreement for FB there are (apparently, I'm not myself on FB) clauses permitting US authorities to scrutinize your profile and all data, since all the main servers are US-based. Well, it's a choice... Just my 2 centimes. (Hope I'm not offending someone.)
