I saw a video where they said Facebook is run by the CIA. They were saying that they can access more information for free without having to waste resources.
Just think about the average Facebook page and all the info it contains about all your friends and acquiantances. They would have to spend months gathering that info.
They can get info from the service providers even if you create a fake account. Your IP address is fixed and the average Joe/Jane cannot mask it.
I have no idea if this is true but if I no longer show up on FR you will know why.
The Culinary Institute of America runs Facebook?
