Though the thing that interests me is if the private or select group of 'friends' communicating to each other can be monitored and how that is happening. It's one thing for the open to all chats to be able to be publicly followed - another for the invite only or private chats. I'm not singling out the UAE on that issue.

I'm sure they are monitored or can be quite readily. For that matter, FB doesn't even keep things private that it says it will. My "birthday" was private as in "only me" yet my age showed up under my posts on another site with no input or agreement from me. The government wouldn't have any trouble getting access.
