Where were the Facebook whistleblowers about the numerous IOS/Android gaps that let the company gain more information than they were to supposed to see? Malicious VPNs, scanning other installed mobile applications, whatever. As far as I know, the big indictments have been found from the outside.

>Malicious VPNs

AFAIK that was a separate app, and it was pretty clear that it was MITMing your connections. It's not any different than say, complaining about how there weren't any whistleblowers for fortinet (who sell enterprise firewalls).
