Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg blasted US government surveillance measures Thursday and said he had personally called President Barack Obama to protest.<\/p>\n
Zuckerberg’s rant on his personal Facebook page came a day after reports that the National Security Agency (NSA) had impersonated Facebook servers to infect targeted computers with malware.<\/p>\n
The NSA has in recent months been implicated by whistleblower Edward Snowden in a massive range of digital surveillance programs.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behaviour of the US government,” Zuckerberg wrote.<\/p>\n
“When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we’re protecting you against criminals, not our own government.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future.” he continued. “Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform.”<\/p>\n
