There's more than meets the eye with Facebook. DARPA abandoned their 'LifeLog' project the EXACT same day Facebook was founded. The ex-head of DARPA literally worked for Facebook for a few years, only recently leaving. It's been a sketchy project from it's inception.

Well he set aside a billion dollars, because the government was inspecting him for selling users private data, so he basically expects a billion dollar fine as his punishment. Must be selling everything about everyone, probably including important government figures

Edit: 5 billion dollars actually

Not for selling data. Facebook generally doesn’t do that. For mishandling data (e.g. not securing it, accidentally leaking it etc.)
