Facebook founder: US gov 'blew it' in spying row

The US government “blew it” in the row over “spying” on users of social media, Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has said.

“It’s the government’s job to protect all of us, and also to protect our freedom and protect the economy, and I think they did a bad job of balancing those things here,” he said at a technology conference in San Francisco.
