James Mickens' "Mossad/not-Mossad" threat model comes to mind: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1401_08-12_mickens.pdf

Looks like that, although I remembered it being more red.

Alex Stamos (Facebook CSO) is a vocal critic of the NSA [1]. Obviously they have to work within the law, so I don't expect we will see them illegally notifying people about NSLs, but I do expect to see Facebook pushing as much as possible against both western and other state-sponsored attacks on privacy.

> People are biased about Facebook for various reasons, including $privacy-issue-of-the-day"

While FB as a company certainly is not altruistic, they employ quite a few privacy-minded engineers. Data leaks to the outside of their walled garden are very likely treated as company-wide problems, but as the LGBT doxes showed, there are wide implications even within their walls. [0]

As they try to capture ever larger parts of the online population, they will* keep colliding with non-Western, non-SV norms. The privacy issues may be nothing but a canary in the goldmine, because they are mostly an expression of non-SV values. For example, I have my doubts about how long images of traditional Hindu artwork would be allowed to stay up...
