Congress today reauthorized funding for Facebook, the massive online surveillance program run by the NSA. According to reports, Facebook has replaced almost every other NSA information-gathering program since it was launched in 2004.
NSA Assistant Director Marvin Stebbs noted, "After years of secretly monitoring the public, we were astounded so many people would willingly publicize where they live, their religious and political views, an alphabetized list of all their friends, personal e-mail addresses, phone numbers, hundreds of photos of themselves, and even status updates about what they were doing moment to moment. It is truly a dream come true for the NSA. Much of the credit belongs to NSA agent Mark Zuckerberg, who runs the day-to-day Facebook operation for the agency."
