yep... I'm pretty confident that all of the Big Tech companies were largely funded or came from secret government projects.

And they all use the "built the business out of my garage" myth.

Everything has worked a little TOO perfectly for most of them. In the real world of business, nothing ever works like this... especially on the Internet.

If you think of it from this angle it makes sense...

Amazon gives the government complete control of physical goods so they can get a good idea of what everyone is doing, plus get to spy on your house (for those that use Ring or Echo).

Google gets to track everything you are searching for and read your email

Facebook tracks you, your family and your network of friends... and they have everyone's facial data.

Twitter was made to capture everyone's thoughts. It's the closest thing to it at least. They put the short message limit to make it easier for people to literally share what they are thinking. If they had a minimum message length, people would be too lazy to post anything.

I would bet money that Mark Zuckerberg has been working for one of the 3 letter agencies the entire time. After 9/11 the gov probably had a secret project to help harvest data on everyone. What better way to do so than with Facebook!

I remember in the mid to late 2000's Zuckerberg turned down around 2 billion to sell Facebook which is wildly out of character for someone his age.

A normal person would have sold without hesitation.

But... if Facebook is really a government project, there is no reason for them to sell.

He may have been given a large chunk of money and probably had to provide private info about himself to keep him from spilling the beans.
