    Only a hundred IDF employees? I’m surprised. AFAIK Facebook has >70k employees these days.

    Not even remotely surprised. They’ve integrated themselves into almost every facet of the American tech industry. America’s “strongest ally” has been spying for years, without any repercussions.

      Or you know, they could just be Israelis. Israel has compulsory military service, along with countless other countries including South Korea and several other western allies. Good job being outraged though, you’re really sticking it to them!
