Assange: "Facebook is the biggest machine ever invented spy '

Russia Today interviewed Julian Assange , a founder of Wikileaks to obtain their views regarding the events in Egypt and Libya, especially in relation to the importance of social networks in the revolution started in the two countries. Assange was especially critical of Facebook of whom he said:

Here is the most comprehensive database of people, relationships, names, addresses, locations, and communications with other relatives. Everything inside the United States, all within reach of U.S. intelligence.

He also believes that social networks provide backdoors to the U.S. authorities to access data without judicial permission:

This is not to serve a subpoena, they have an interface developed for U.S. intelligence to use. Now, what Facebook is run by U.S. intelligence? No, not going out there. It's just that they have the power to exercise legal and political pressure on these social networks. It's so expensive to provide individual records, so that automated the process.

Assange unfortunately does not provide any evidence to defend their theories about the relationship of U.S. intelligence agencies and some social networks, accusations that have been done in the past by others and usually start all kinds of Conspiranoia in relation to "control" supposedly has the U.S. government with your privacy, our data and our information.
