M.I.A. Claims Facebook and Google 'Invented by C.I.A.'

[Flawless]

​

Only weeks after the controversy surrounding her video to latest single 'Born Free,' M.I.A. has made headlines again with claims Facebook and Google were developed by the C.I.A and are used to spy on Internet users.

Speaking to Nylon magazine, the singer urged caution when using the internet because such sites exist for the purpose of "f---ing you up" regarding privacy and personal details.

"All governments are connected to Google," she said. "Governments can shift their search engines so only what they want you to see comes up. I want kids to be aware of this digital circumstances."

In regard to those specific sites, she said, "Everyone on the internet is like, 'Oh my God, come and join Facebook!' They're all so optimistic ... and really everyone is f---ing you up behind the screens. And I don't like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that. Google and Facebook were developed by the C.I.A., and when you're on there, you have to know that."

M.I.A. is on the cover of the June/July issue of Nylon and also speaks of her upbringing and music.

Every law enforcement agency in this country can access your page through S***s. Plan and simple...

[APOPHIS]

What can she possibly hide as an artist who has a bio on wiki, dozens of fan pages, a personal website, magazine articles, blog postings, video interviews, etc., etc., etc.

I can tell you her entire life story w/o having to access her nonexistent FB page? Do people think before opening their mouths anymore?
I can







P.S. Google is in bed w/ the G-men.

Looks like someone's headed down to the winehouse

Newsflash: All white people aren't smart.

Well explain how does a search engine turn into a trillion dollar company?

I've been wondering this myself. No products were produced until recently and its just branding.

Let's stop with the hyperbole, they're not a trillion dollar company.

It's been well established that Google gets its revenue from internet advertising (a market that was fairly nonexistent before Google, and they cornered it), and their revenues are closer to $20 Billion....nowhere near 1 trillion.

If you guys picked up a book or magazine instead of listening to rambling pop acts and "omniscient" white commoners you'd know this.

I know that story, but it still does not eliminate the possibility they are a front company. Remember China, Australia and a few European countries accused Google of spying, there has to be some truth to this. Oh and the spy shit is old news and I have read plenty of books and tons of articles.

 

[KTD]

I'm behind her 100%

 

[SPECTRE1]

There was some article about CIA front companies and google. You shouldn't trust any company or government with information, it can be used against you, there is no privacy online or even on your computer.

I got the government/business trashing me up to other foreign countries behind my back, endangering my life and privacy.

 

[LennyNero1972]

I'm behind her 100%

Actually she should know she is dating or married to the son of a billionaire exec.

I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe when you say shit like this:

The biggest criticism of Google has been their inability to diversify their revenue stream. Despite their new products, something like $21.3 Billion of their $21.5 Billion in revenue still comes from advertising.

Ahhhhhhhhh, yeah. So you really think there is something as 100% privacy? shit I'm pretty sure someone is watching every word I type now, do I care? hell no. Why? because I'm doing nothing illegal like hacking and other shit so again? like CAC jondoe said, as long as you ain't hacking,plotting to blow shit up who cares?


Do you playa!


The only thing they gon get me for is HNIC's free porn,music and other shit. then again, this is a paid website so who gives a shit. Just don't plot to kill the president or go blow shit up and you should be straight.

 

[exiledking]

there are plenty of books and history that will tell you googles history- and facebook.

It's reliable enough, and there are normal people all the way up the chain who can validate it.


It is true that they have an enormous amount of power that came from them being on the cuting edge of something, and we exchange it for the convenience it gives us.

ANd yes, that power can and will be abused at some point.


But to just simplify on some "the CIA made it: is fucking stupid, especially with someone who's life is public any got damn way. SHe's not necessarily incognotp, although she will be soon.

Exactly ... what she is saying isn't completely unbelievable

LOL @ people capin for the C.I.A

 

[KTD]

I'm tambout physically behind her playa.

 

[LennyNero1972]

I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe when you say shit like this:

Well and was I wrong? They started out just as an internet service and exploded. Unless you are a co-founder of the company you can't possibly know all of the details, gimme a fucking' break.

 

[Rawness]

Exactly ... what she is saying isn't completely unbelievable

LOL @ people capin for the C.I.A

More like we're caping against ignorance.

Their "truth" sounds faaarrrrrr more convincing than these objections.

 

[LennyNero1972]

[KTD]

Yo pause son pause for real. That's one of the gayest statements ever made. Pause.

 

[Rawness]

Well and was I wrong?

That question shows you didn't know how they got their money in the first place and it showed that you didn't know that all these new products were their attempts to diversify their revenue stream.


Christ nicca, first you ask how they became so big (a trillion dollar company, no less ) I explain, and then you claim you already knew that.....nicca please.


Can't tell you "smart" dumb niccas nothing

Same here, you really don't know how these companies really operate unless you run them, more like give me a break, niggra please.
