His security blog at Facebook: &quot;Facebook Security: Fighting the Good Fight&quot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/blog/blog.php?post=25844207130" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;blog.php?post=25844207130</a><p>edit: here&#x27;s the obligatory &quot;but this is blogspam&quot; note...Kelly&#x27;s employment with the NSA was first reported by the the Times here a few days ago (<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/20/technology/silicon-valley-and-spy-agency-bound-by-strengthening-web.html?_r=2&amp;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;06&#x2F;20&#x2F;technology&#x2F;silicon-valley-...</a>)...but yeah, here&#x27;s a classic case of newspaperism vs. sexy-SEO-headlines...I didn&#x27;t read &quot;Web&#x27;s Reach Binds N.S.A. and Silicon Valley Leaders&quot; because it sounded no different than other recent stories...but a Facebook exec going to work for N.S.A. is definitely a headline-worthy fact.<p>However, Kelly isn&#x27;t the stereotypical young Bay Area millionaire ex-Facebooker...he previously worked as an FBI analyst before joining Facebook (<a href="https://twitter.com/wrox/status/1699420309" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;wrox&#x2F;status&#x2F;1699420309</a>)...So going from FBI to Facebook to NSA isn&#x27;t as strange as, well, going from college to Facebook to NSA, unless the catered lunch at NSA is classified and delicious. Not knowing why he left Facebook...but after doing so, it&#x27;s not out of left field to go back into federal security, especially if he had a NDA with Facebook not to go to other competing services, such as Google.

This is a brilliant move on his part. He knows the FB architecture and security apparatus, and he is going to contributing immensely to NSA&#x27;s endeavors on how to effectively data-mine social media aggregates. Not to mention the relationship he&#x27;s already built with the FB alumni. He&#x27;ll have enough clout to influence decisions over there.

Conversely, &quot;current NSA employee no longer works for Facebook&quot;. But not as clickworthy.

When you start to look back, things like this start making a lot more sense in the present context: <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2011/02/obama_meets_with_facebook_founder_mark_zuckerberg_headed_to_oregon_next.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oregonlive.com&#x2F;pacific-northwest-news&#x2F;index.ssf&#x2F;2...</a><p>Maybe there isn&#x27;t a plan to infiltrate existing big-data companies, but it seems like an awful coincidence that we see things like the above link and the headlines of today.

Makes sense. Facebook&#x27;s leadership publicized belief is that privacy is outdated. NSA&#x27;s position is the same, only they have more tools to make it so.

Given that the first $500 million of Facebook investment came from In-Q-Tel, a CIA company that invests in deep data mining systems, it isn&#x27;t hard to wonder whether Facebook&#x27;s security officer could have been an employee of the NSA all along.
