Julian Assange accused Facebook of having links with intelligence agencies

[НСК-СБ]

The founder of Wikileaks said that the social network databases are accessible to US intelligence agencies. Russian experts note that this practice is quite expected. Offers to sell user databases can now be found in the public domain on the Internet.

Julian Assange accused Facebook of spying. He spoke about this in an interview with Russia Today. One of the questions was about social networks. According to the founder of Wikileaks, the Facebook site is closely connected with special services. And users of the service voluntarily help to collect confidential information about themselves.

"This is the most terrible tracking machine ever invented. This is the most comprehensive database of people who know their names, addresses, places where they are, with relatives. And all this is in the United States and is accessible to American intelligence, - He said. “We are compiling a database for them and other intelligence services that can either hack Facebook or get this information from the Americans in exchange for some kind of service.”

"Such programs can be used by someone for their own purposes in different ways, but all of them have a special interface that was specially designed to be used by American intelligence services."

Social networks are an ideal tool for tracking, and in America it is widely used. The general director of the R-Techno intelligence technology agency, Roman Romachev, agrees with this.

“The United States of America is slightly different in the fight against terrorism. I think that what Assange is talking about can theoretically exist, some kind of interface and online access to all the necessary information,” he said. “Any IT one way or another, the system implies that certain logs are being maintained: where did the person come from, what time.

In principle, any IT system, any server, any Internet service that is on the network can serve as a tool for tracking a person’s location. "

Confidential data from Facebook is already available, and not only to special services. This was announced by the director of the company "Social Networks" Alexey Goncharenko.

“If you go either to Yandex or Google and try to collect information about the sale of user databases and their personal data, including Facebook, you can find quite interesting offers for wholesale sales of user databases, –– he commented. –– I don’t think that the Facebook administration would cooperate well with intelligence. Although, on the other hand, it can provide certain data upon request. Any social network, any major portal, it will be connected with the service one way or another intelligence.

This is the specifics. This is a large database, the insides of which are of interest to both intelligence and commercial structures, and so on and so forth. "

Julian Assange himself is now in London awaiting consideration of a complaint about extradition to Sweden, where he is suspected of sexual crimes. And, according to the defense of the founder of Wikileaks, the United States can transfer it from there, where the charges are much more serious - espionage. For this, Assange may face the death penalty.

This is certainly sad, but probably no one is no secret. And many users of social networks do not care what and who collects about them. They themselves built these bases. A similar situation with the theme of Vkontakte and Odnoklassniki. An excellent field of activity for organs.
I remember I even heard a rumor on the Internet that, in addition to Durov and his team, there are also government investments in Vkontakte LLC.
