Is it?

It's also possible that FB, finding itself the victim of continual PSYOPs, is hiring people with backgrounds in that to help defend the company or needs security cleared people to liase with government security teams on that issue.

I'm getting sick of the cheap cynicism that fancies simplistic, dramatic interpretations over nuanced, realistic ones.

(This isn't to say that FB doesnt collaborate with the government in any number of ways -- just that the parent is a lazy, cheap shot.)
