For what it's worth blogger "The Idler" (Tom Hodginkson) wrote an article for the Guardian that states Facebook is essentially backed by CIA money...

As one who thinks long and hard about the assumptions in language, and posting, particularly in what we assume normative modes of communication to be. <br /><br />Can you say more?
