And what prohibits any three letter agency hiring some intermediary and do the same thing on Facebook for example?

  > hiring some intermediaries There's absolutely no need. Facebook cooperates with three-letter agencies, and we expect them to.

    You seriously think that if one of those decided to influence election (for a greater good of course) you would expect direct cooperation of FB in the matter? I'd think that the guilty party should be prosecuted for doing things like that.

      He's talking about handing over information, not launching a "elect the next Manchurian candidate" campaign run by the NSA.

        Then he'd completely missed my original point that was about practical inability to prevent that exact scenario - "elect the next Manchurian candidate campaign run by the NSA". I do not think juducial review will enter the picture here. I am not sure what practical legal mechanism is available to prevent such scenario. I guess it would run the risk of being exposed by some whistleblower but with the latest developments in the area the chances are that it wont.

          At this point I have doubts about who employs the Manchurian candidates in the first place, people behind the big companies or the three letter agencies. There are revolving doors between them.
