the ironic part is Google's well documented relationships with the CIA and the NSA.
This is a little like them agreeing with Apple while making backroom deals with the government. Not exactly a vote of confidence in my mind.
- hellbanner 11y agoYes, this is for show. I've seen a number of HN posts say things like "But they wouldn't dare co-operate in secret, think of the snafu -- someone would leak it!" ... when that "someone" inside a big tech company is making 6 figure salaries and living comfortably and potential legal destruction from publicising even further "secret cooperation" Money talks, no one wants to be a martyr.
- wstrange 11y agoOther than their legal obligation to comply with the law, is there any evidence that Google is doing backroom deals with the CIA and NSA?
