Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has
strongly denied any link between his website and a controversial US
internet monitoring programme.
Zuckerberg posted a message last night describing reports linking Facebook to the secret PRISM system as 'outrageous'.
He
said that he had not even heard of PRISM until reports broke on
Thursday and vowed to fight 'aggressively' to keep users' details secure.
Google CEO Larry Page echoed Zuckerberg's denial as he issued a statement distancing his company from the scheme.
The search engine's chief lawyer David Drummond also said that media reports linking Google to PRISM were false.
In
the post that has been 'liked' more than 280,000 times, Zuckerberg, 29,
wrote: 'I want to respond personally to the outrageous press reports
about PRISM.
