mattkrfon Facebook Chats Are Being Scanned by a CIA Funded Company?

That's basically right. Our system observed the URL elsewhere on the web - not on a private messaging service. We've offered to share those details with Bosnadev.

RE: whether these comments really are from the RF team, we're about to post the same info on our own blog.

Hi everyone - the team here at Recorded Future looked into this and dug into our logs to confirm what happened.

Our systems followed this URL after it was posted on a public site. Our system constantly explores links published on the web. We've checked our logs and confirmed that this is what happened in this specific case. It's not related to any Facebook chat messages containing this link. Our system doesn't access that information.
