The telecoms rolled and let the US gov tap overseas calls after 9/11. I gotta believe FB is already on board with gov intelligence requests, just to avoid regulation.

A centralized, proprietary, walled garden social networking is a monoculture for attacks, like the giant man-in-the-middle attack of the Tunisian government, or for privacy blunders, like Beacon et al, etc etc.
