They don't need to "get someone on the inside", they have been using FISA and Section 702 for decades. Plus the Prism project that got leaked by Snowden.

Yeah that works if it's a company in your jurisdiction, but for countries like Russia it's probably an easy win to just have someone on the inside who can look up whatever you want. Probably costs a lot less to maintain as well, if you're after individual targets and not casting a wide net.

Russia and China have their own versions of fb and similar services. And in any case, for domestic interception you do it via NSA, for foreign individuals you go through the CIA. Also, they bugged directly the under sea cables landing points.
