Didn't the HT leaks show vulns that'd be sold to anyone? An online service hack just wouldn't command the same pricing. Is there any source/docs to indicate the e.g. NSA pays $50K for this kind of vuln?

Also note that the majority of government entities can just legally request information.

If anything smaller governments without in-house vulnerability research would be more willing to pay large amounts.

The kind of governments that would be interested in exploiting Facebook probably aren't the kind that could legally request the information in the first place.
