Feb 4 2004: LifeLog to Facebook

eventIntelligence & Surveillance · Defense & Military-Industrial
A Pentagon life-recording project was cancelled the very day Facebook launched — the engine now files the date as coincidence, and the people as the real story.
Who they are

The event of Feb 4, 2004: DARPA cancels LifeLog; Facebook goes live the same day.

What they do

For years this read as 'surveillance privatized in a day.' The engine's updated record holds the same-day timing as coincidence — LifeLog's own creator says so — while documenting that the real connection runs through an operator network, not a handover.

How it works

The link is the boardroom: Thiel, Parker, and Breyer on Facebook's side, connected to intelligence-community funders on the other (see LifeLog / Facebook for the documented chain).

Why it matters

It matters because it shows how the engine corrects itself: the flashy version (same-day handover) gets retired, the documented version (same people, both sides) stays — and who, if anyone, coordinated it is left open.

The engine's record — word for word
DARPA LifeLog cancelled same day Facebook launched. Surveillance mandate privatized. Total information awareness outsourced. [Report #177] Same-day timing is coincidence per LifeLog's creator Doug Gage; the documented link is operator-class (Thiel/Parker/Breyer↔Louie/Jones — see lifeLog), NOT a code/money handover. A-vs-B held.
