Sorry if this has been posted previously, I couldn't find it in the past couple of weeks' diaries.
Does what happens in the Facebook stay in the Facebook?
Go watch that and come back and talk about it.
Basically this is a little clip which cuts to the heart of a) Facebook's terms of service, and what it really means to put your name out there, b) who set up Facebook (all sorts of In-Q-Tel people involved, for one thing) and c) what they might be doing with your data.
I know this is a bit of a scanty diary but the linked material is pretty interesting.
From the In-Q-Tel webpage:
When In-Q-Tel was created in 1999, the CIA determined that it needed a means to engage with young innovative companies that were building cutting edge commercial technologies. In the post 9/11 world, where direct threats are real and lives are at risk, it is clear that we cannot afford to have less than the very best technologies to address the most urgent intelligence challenges. The agility that enables In-Q-Tel to rapidly discover, develop and deploy new capabilities is more important than ever. With its carefully structured mix of innovative and investment capital, In-Q-Tel's strategic focus enables it to take the calculated risks necessary to serve the United States' most vital national interest.
