Re: “Facebook M” starts listening in to all your conversations
The notion I should allow it for a for-profit American corporation (money making and government access through THE PATRIOT Act) makes me want to vomit.
I'd replace "should" with "have" because it's been happening for *quite* some time, and to a depth that suggests these private companies must employ former or even active intelligence staff to develop what they do. The benefit of outsourcing this is plausible deniability for the Government involved.
