MODERATORS
This information goes right to the US government.
Anyone who doesn't think Facebook is an arm of the US government is naive at best.
Would you happen to have a source on this?
The Edward Snowden leaks and PRISM
That is over a decade ago, hence an unreliable source on the state today.
What, do you think they just stopped? They would have no reason to break their partnership so it's reasonable to assume it's still ongoing.
