That seems right.

Btw there seems to be a lot of redundancy in the NSA's operation.

A few years back there was a big "scandal" over AT&T maintaining a secret
room within their SF interconnection facility where they used a splitter to
physically access all the traffic on their fiber.

Obviously this would include all Google, Facebook, Twitter etc traffic.
Indeed if they have similar operations at all the major ISPs they likely
have several copies of all social networking activity.

So the NSA was working with the ISP's on the one hand while also
simultaneously working with the Internet cos.

It is a good bet that they are also working with providers like Akamai, so
that's even more redundancy..
