    I’m not saying the FBI should be excused for this. I’m saying the title is factually wrong and is designed to provoke attention

      Even with that I think it’s debatable. They were employed by the FBI at the time of usage so it isn’t totally inaccurate to say it was the FBI doing it and we don’t know what knowledge the FBI guys had of the company’s methods.
