A Harvard contemporary of Mark Zuckerberg has launched a stinging attack on both Facebook and its founder, in testimony to UK MPs. Aaron Greenspan, who claims to have come up with the idea for Facebook first, has been a long-standing critic. He told MPs that he believed the number of fake accounts on the platform to be far higher than Facebook admitted. Facebook has previously dismissed his claims but had no comment on his appearance in Westminster.
