In capitalism, market share is determined by company decisions that create different amounts of value for consumers.
Thus, any decision that a company makes is in effect "marketing" if the goal is to grow/preserve market share.
It's unfortunate if the underlying mental model of employees of the Justice Department is that we should all sacrifice our privacy (and that of our customers) for some notion of the greater good.
It's scary when anyone thinks that his/her own job interests represent the greater good for everyone else... even worse when that job is a position of governmental authority.
Sorry, blind allegiance to the government is not a religion I want any part of. It's also odd to use the anti-capitalist smear technique of labeling something "marketing" to undermine it.

There's multiple civil processes to go through to hopefully interweave the legal, political, judicial, ethical, and technical issues. It should be a battle. A vigorous debate exposes the weak arguments and we ought to end up with the best ones, assuming the predominate state of society is stable. My complaint about DOJ is trying to inject emotional catchphrases, and classic propaganda techniques, to distort a rational process. It makes their position look weak out of the gate.
