snowden is not the story. it has remained obvious to me that the NSA or whatever organization (rusian, chinese, or whatever) does not need some sort of dinosaur spygame facility to access this data.

all they need is just one underpaid programmer without a soul working at facebook to compromise the whole database.

wouldn't it be much easier in a case such as this one, for verizon to just have some retard patsy create that backdoor? I would imagine this to be a get out of jail free card for those guys really pulling the strings. all you gatta do is drop all the blame on some naive techie and let him go down in flames.

IMO, the next up in this chess game, is a traitor techie willing to compromise a whole nation to pay his bills.
