I work for Facebook. This does not happen. If it does, I can assure you that one of the many thousands of engineers will speak out.

If something like this is going on, only a few select employees know about it. Facebook is not dumb.

When it comes to "speaking out"... NSA started surveillance projects long before Edward Snowden was employed. There will always be people who will develop things like this and who will not speak out. It's just a matter of correctly selecting these few people.

What makes you so sure that many thousands of Facebook engineers would be aware of it?
