> The NSA doesn't need to break Google/Facebook/Twitter's private key. Bill Binney has already said [1] this is exactly the case: "No online cipher is safe... Simply because if they don't have the key, they will come across and get it from you (that's assuming they didn't already implant it in your system). The safest way is to do encryption offline, then go online and send it, and do decryption offline... If you don't have an air gap, you're not safe. ...I don't think they have to break [the encryption keys] at all. They already have them. That's my point. No online system is safe."
