re: #14 Charles Johnson

Facebook, of course, is THE most intrusive and un-transparent web company. Their entire business model is based on exploiting customers’ personal information, far more than the US government ever will.

Which makes the disconnect all the more amusing. Some of the same people who are shouting loudly about how this makes the NSA like the Gestapo are the same people who want little or zero oversight over what companies like facebook can do.
