Facebook’s Sean Parker Outdoes Moskovitz With $100K For Marijuana Bill

Facebook’s Sean Parker Outdoes Moskovitz With $100K For Marijuana Bill October 7, 2010 - Forbes.com
Sean Parker, co-founder of Facebook and Napster, has joined his former colleague Dustin Moskovitz by cutting a large check towards the legalization of marijuana.
Not to be outdone by America’s youngest billionaire Moskovitz, who gave $70,000 to California’s Proposition 19, Parker has donated $100,000 to the ballot initiative that would make it legal to possess the drug for personal use.
The gift affirms the 30-year-old’s reputation for generosity, and puts him in a small but select group of very wealthy donors to pro-marijuana causes, including Moskovitz and Progressive Corp. billionaire Peter Lewis.
While Moskovitz heads up Forbes’ list of America’s Youngest Billionaires, Parker is not yet in the Forbes 400 rich list club – but, by our reckoning, it won’t be long now. Parker joined Facebook in 2004 as its founding president and helped it navigate initial funding. He left in 2005 for venture capital but still has a 4% stake, pushing his net worth to $920 million. Parker’s fame has skyrocketed with his fortune: Justin Timberlake plays him in the current box-office hit ‘The Social Network’.

In case you guys didn't know Facebook is data mined by the NSA. Don't put anything on there you don't want the government to know.

Ignore what I said I don't give a fuck, i don't care, obviously this post wasn't meant for people like you. I was putting that info out there for people that might not know already and actually care that there is no privacy on FB and they openly share all data with the NSA and sell your data to companies.

Yeah I'd say that people should take the opposite approach. The only real danger in discussing or labeling drug use on facebook is if your employer finds out. The rest of us should give a middle finger to the law over drug use, possession and sales on facebook. That is unless you are actively engaged in large scale activity or currently job hunting.
Who wants to work for the cock sucking FBI or CIA anyway?

If you're more concerned about people posting on facebook than on websites like this, you have more issues to worry about than the internet stealing your thoughts .
Google's entire platform is based on data-mining your information and selling it to marketers. At least the NSA is a government organization!

To the above posts...yes you are right that Google and many other search engines and some payment systems like payapal openly share data with the government, but this usually doesn't involve the amount of personal information and their human-human network (your friend, family connections ect...). Also, they want to create a system where they have a connection to your location, date of birth, family connections, place of employment, phone numbers and email, ect...Oh and by the way MANY of the apps that are stupid (I think they are all stupid) but are also data-mining programs, not only does their info go to the Government it goes to the highest bidding corporation.
I for one don't like my info being harvested, being put into a mega-base, empowering big brother in any way, or losing any of my privacy, or selling my info without the my knowledge (now I know of course)...and I' sure a lot of the users have no idea.
I like to share my concerns to others in case there are others who didn't have this knowledge but are grateful to obtain it and will alter their future transaction based on this new info. If you don't give a shit kindly move along, and try not to be an ass to me for trying to inform others in case they didn't not know...my intentions are not negative or here to create FUD, I'm just trying to spread factual info so people are more informed and can make better decisions.

You guys are being dicks because he's pointing out the obvious, but he is right. Our digital footprint is reaching a point where it can be used to track us George-Orwell style, at least short of abandoning our lives and making a run for it. Even then, there are tens of thousands of officers also networked to work against you, it's a dangerous situation.

Never said I was blowing the lid off of shit, I was only informing those that didn't know (as I was greatfull to the person who told me, and like to pass on stuff like that). How about next time you just keep your moth shut instead of going out of your way to be a douche? Seriously, WTF is wrong with passing on this relevant knowledge that I had gained? And why to you have to act like such an ass because I brought it up, why do you even care?

What was so stupid about what I said? Everything I said is true, and i never said anything about arresting druggies?... maybe you should work on your reading and/or cognitive skills.

Oh really, looks like you need to brush up on current events too: theres tons of examples of NSA spying on people that are not terrorists or really bad people: "...executive director of the Center for National Security Studies, said the new disclosures show that Gonzales and other administration officials have "repeatedly misled the Congress and the American public" about the extent of NSA surveillance efforts. They have repeatedly tried to give the false impression that the surveillance was narrow and justified," Martin said. "Why did it take accusations of perjury before the DNI disclosed that there is indeed other, presumably broader and more questionable, surveillance?"
Look into it a bit and you will see they are using these techniques against nonviolent American people...
