7:32Now PlayingA new report by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) found that the F.B.I. was working with members of Best Buy's Geek Squad to catch people with child pornography. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"In a statement, Best Buy described any employee decisions to receive payments tied to the FBI as "in very poor judgement and inconsistent with our training and policies." Yet the company also noted that employees have "a moral and, in more than 20 states, a legal obligation" to report inadvertent findings of child pornography.
The company noted that of four employees who may have received payment, three had left the company and the fourth had been "reprimanded and reassigned."
The FBI declined to comment, citing an "ongoing legal matter.” The agency said it does not provide information on dealings with informants "for obvious reasons."
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the FBI also declined to state whether it had informants in employees of other computer repair businesses besides Best Buy."
