FB has had somewhat of a revolving door with NSA security, though [0] -- so given your negative perception of this, how do you feel about what FB does and the NSA does that overlap enough to have employees come/go between the two?

Old -- but there are other articles about it as well...

By "revolving door" you appear to mean that one executive, who hadn't previously worked for NSA, left Facebook for a job at NSA.

It would be hard to imagine more prominently anti-NSA security executive than Alex Stamos, their current CSO.

My understanding was that an NSA employee came to FB, then left FB to go back to NSA.. I could be totally incorrect though...
