    Facebook Chief Security Officer Quits After Clashing Over "Spread Of Disinformation"

    Less than six months after exclaiming his concerns about algorithmic censorship on social media, and fears about becoming a 'ministry of truth', Alex Stamos - Facebook's chief information security officer - is leaving the tech giant following "internal disagreements" over how the company should handle disinformation spread over its platform, according to the New York Times.

    His departure was reportedly planned long before the Cambridge Analytica scandal erupted over the weekend.
    Stamos famously unleashed a scathing tweet storm late last year warning the FBI and intrusive Democratic lawmakers (who are again banging the regulation drum) that "censorship is easy", but separating Russian bots from legitimate posters would be much, much harder, and essentially would require Facebook or the government to become a "Ministry of Truth" - referring to a government ministry from George Orwell's 1984 responsible for rewriting history.

    Re; Cambridge Analytica Julian Assange tweets that they have been 'alerted' to a poss raid by Govt Officials.

    The best of the Best make up the MI6 ... LOL
