It's likely Verizon using Javascript-based content injection to append that link to the footer. ISPs do this sort of thing all the time.

So what? You don't think an ISP can intercept and break SSL? Transparent proxying is a thing.

Unless they installed a MITM certificate on his device, I certainly hope not.

True. Looks like it's FB adding the link.
