Which makes me wonder why they aren't.
At the least, I don't see anything illegal about their scraping public facebook info, and they can easily gain access to the private stuff as we've learned.
So why wouldn't they populate their old-school social graphs with new-school social graph information?
- declan 13y agoThey absolutely would. As I said above, "the NSA is supplementing its email-and-phone metadata database with... Facebook profiles." The point I was making (perhaps poorly) is that the NSA is surely bulk vacuuming up public Facebook profiles and using its relationship with AT&T/VZ/Sprint/etc. to do fiber taps of poorly encrypted or unencrypted data in transit. But there's no evidence of direct access to Facebook/Twitter/G+ servers or bulk downloads of private data from social networks.
