Interesting, but is not. It was created by regular people who believe in networking with others. The government might be in there using it for their advantage, but it wasn't created by any type of government, at least that's what I believe.

There way more sites like this all around the web, think about it. Another thing, why in the world you think the government is out to get you? People who work there are regular people just like you and me, they went to college got a degree and decided to go work for the government in some way, could be a politician, humanitarian, agriculture, etc. You all need to stop thinking this way, it is a very bad way to lead your life thinking the government is out to get you. Why the fuck would the government want your information for? You know who would love your information, the people who call your house with ads and selling you shit.

Also, why worry if you're living a good life and not doing anything wrong...

The government is not out to get you, stop this way of thinking, its bad for your health.
