One of my favorite conspiracy theories is that the guy we know as Mark Zuckerberg is essentially just an actor, and facebook was actually made by the CIA. Imagine it: you're a kid in highschool, already a bit of a geek with a passion for programming, some guys in suits show up and say they'll get you into harvard and guarantee you a life of fame and fortune, all you gotta do is take credit for their work and play up your social ineptitude a bit. No need to change his name or anything, all the accounts of his childhood are probably real, he's just for lack of a better word the fall guy. The government gets the most powerful tool in the world to both spy upon and manipulate people around the world, but whenever you get a message saying "facebook wants access to this data" it seems like just an eccentric capitalist who doesn't understand boundaries. Of course there's no evidence to support the theory, and you could probably say the same for anyone that has built something a lot of people wind up using, but it's still fun.
