Apple, Google, Microsoft Want Gov Surveillance Curtailed
I call BS...
Everyone of these "statements" and "complaints" is carefully worded half-truth, and only that because they got caught.
Everyone of these companies has helped the government get access to our data 9 ways to sunday, employees for each of them directly assisted the government in multiple ways and yet they can still half-truthfully say "we never gave them Direct Access".
Well what about indirect access thru your API, like to all the other customers you sell my info to? How about access to internal dev tools that arent available through your API?
We only know these facts, and the corps are only "protesting", because Snowden told us they were listening.
How Noble of these companies to stand up for my rights, Im sure its not because...

Yup, I'd fathom that everybody in the world who isn't receiving 100k in american dollars each year (i.e. being paid off) doesn't like US companies.
Blatant face-play
Well well, the 8 giant companies probably most involved in the worldwide mass-collection of data are issuing a statement (gasp) asking the govt to please stop its use of such data.
Those companies make most of their money by collecting that data and if they have it the government has it (being plugged deep into the actual lines being used).
This is an obvious attempt to get yokels to go "hey these nice companies are gonna stop that nasty stuff they been talking about on the news" - and it'll probably work.
Now it'll be another 6-12 months until another whistleblower gets threatened with execution for bringing up the elephant in the server room again.

Its because they want to keep the information and not give it to the government.
But hey I would rather have them have all my information then the government. At least I know they just want to give me ads. Who know what the gov't wants to do with...

Apple, Google, Microsoft all agree
Apple, Google, Microsoft all agree on something 😳 😲 which I thought would never happen
They all agree that having their own data collection practices lumped in with those of an increasingly corrupt and power hungry government is a bad thing; they don’t care about you, just your perception of them.
Love the hypocrisy ...
I love it.
Internet companies complaining about online surveillance of user behavior and data mining .... love the hypocrisy.
So……they’ll go silent, when they get paid for the transfer of data to governments.
Do internet corporations respect privacy? C’mon, really.

Well, better one of these folks than the Govt. I'm not saying that either is a good thing, but at least Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc. don't really care if you smoke weed or not, nor chase you for political beliefs, which they can find out by your inter...

Data mining to serve targeted ads and data mining to eliminate opposition to the current power system are rather different things.
