The first to be baked over the raked over the coals, facebooks david marcus was the david marcus. The cocreator of the cryptocurrency project. Senator Brown Facebook is dangerous. Now, facebook might not intend to be dangerous, but surely they do not respect the technologies they are playing with, like a toddler who has gotten a hold of a book of matches.
