The US government has been caught doing the same thing... poorly. You probably aren't going to find a lot of sources showing that the US is fighting these fights on Facebook and twitter, but you can read between the lines with interviews. In general, these kinds of things aren't performed out in the open.

Agree with you though. National security has trumped privacy. 9/11 changed a lot of things in a bad way.
