Facebook’s Zuckerberg says government “blew it” explaining NSA spying
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has been on the other side of criticism about whether his company adequately protects the privacy of its users, on Wednesday said the U.S. government “blew it” for not explaining how it was balancing citizen’s privacy rights with countering terrorism.
Speaking during an on-stage interview at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Zuckerberg became outspoken when asked how he felt about the NSA spying controversy and the privacy rights of Facebook’s members.
“I think it’s my job and our job to protect everyone who uses Facebook and all the information that they share with us,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s our government’s job to protect all of us and also protect our freedoms and protect the economy, and I think they did a bad job of balancing those things. So frankly, I think that the government blew it.”
Zuckerberg has previously said Facebook had not even known about the secret spy program called PRISM and denied that it gave the government access to its servers as indicated in documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

So when Zuckerberg sells Facebook members' information to marketers, how does that protect the members' information?
I don't think Zuckerberg become a billionaire by protecting information.
