M.I.A: 'The C.I.A Created Google And Facebook'

June 1, 2010
M.I.A: 'The C.I.A Created Google And Facebook'M.I.A has claimed that Google and Facebook were created by the C.I.A.

In an interview with Nylon, the singer said people should be more cautious when using the Internet.

“Everyone on the Internet is like, “Oh my God, come and join Facebook!” They’re all so optimistic… and really, everyone is fucking you up behind the screens,” M.I.A said.

“And I don’t like that. It makes it difficult for me to interact with my fans knowing that.

“Google and Facebook were developed by the CIA, and when you’re on there, you have to know that.”

The singer, who releases her new album later this month, added that “all governments can shift their search engines so only what they want you to see comes up”.

M.I.A’s comments follow her recent spat with a journalist over an article in the New York Times.
