China Says US Uses Facebook To Spread Political Unrest
crimeandpunishment writes "A Chinese government-backed think tank says the US and other western governments use Facebook and other social networking sites to spread political unrest. Their report says, 'We must pay attention to the potential risks and threats to state security as the popularity of social-networking sites continues to grow,' and calls for increased scrutiny of the sites."
They clearly overestimate the deterministic nature of the average social network user.
I don't care what they do with facebook. I just want them to friend me and join my mafia.
Heroscape, it's like legos combined with anachronistic wargames.
Why not just outbid the US Gov in a tapping bid? What could the market value be? Stasi and KGB would have needed a saliva bucket next to the bed for this.
What are they doing, not "liking" China's status updates ? Perhaps people are joining groups titled "If a million people join this group, we will overthrow Hu Jintao" Gee China, paranoid much ?
No doubt the FBI, CIA and DHS log far more hours in Farmville than just regular folk. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
I would say citation needed, but the current state of affairs speaks for itself.
'We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.' RPF
That's it. I am unfriending China.

For justice, we must go to Don Corleone
