"WikiLeaks" founder Julian Assange announced on Twitter that he deleted his Facebook account, noting that Mark Zuckerberg is "a megalomaniac who calls his users stupid", writes Tanjug.
“I just deleted my Facebook account. I never actually had one. "Friends don't put their friends in a huge intelligence database, controlled by a megalomaniac who calls his users 'stupid,'" Assange wrote on Twitter, and attached a photo of Zuckerberg's internet correspondence with an unnamed friend.
In a conversation with that friend, Zuckerberg says that he can provide him with more than 4.000 emails, photos and addresses of any person from Harvard, if he ever needs it.

When asked by his friend how he managed to get all that, Zuckerberg replied that people simply delivered it to him.
“I have no idea why. They 'trust' me. Fools," wrote Zuckerberg in a correspondence dating back to 2004.
In May 2010, in the then Silikon Veli insider (today's Business Insider), Zuckerberg admitted that the correspondence really took place, stressing, however, that he had grown up and changed.
What to see what Facebook has on you (at a minimum)? 1. Done https://t.co/UFPfcZwJw7 2. Click "Download a copy of your Facebook data" 3. Wait for automatic email from Facebook 4. Download the ZIP file link in the email 5. Extract it and open 'html/index.htm'

The company Facebook lost more than 58 billion dollars of market capitalization, i.e. the value of this social network due to the scandal about the leakage of user data in which the company "Cambridge Analytica" was involved.
The world media reported during the past week that the data of 50 million Facebook users was sent without their knowledge and consent to the company "Cambridge Analytica", which has a political data center and which worked on the election campaign of President Donald Trump in 2016.
Facebook has been accused of hacking user data, which the company denies.
