Except Facebook and Twitter are being used to attack the US and spread disinformation and the government isn't doing anything.

But I guess that's what I should expect from a government that cares more about national security than the privacy of its citizens.

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.
