It's one thing, even if still completely unacceptable, for an employee to spy using one media.

Another one is for someone to "throw the net" and get information on several fronts (possibly including: credit report, bank info, emails, etc)

However, if anyone at google or facebook gets caught doing that, it will have a hard time finding a job. At the NSA is probably encouraged behavior and I'm pretty no one is loosing his job over spying someone there, it's what they do after all.
