A Harvard contemporary of Mark Zuckerberg has launched a stinging attack on both Facebook and its founder1, in testimony2 to UK MPs. Aaron Greenspan, who claims to have come up with the idea for Facebook first, has been a long-standing critic.

Facebook has previously3 dismissed his claims but had no comment on his appearance in Westminster.
