Maybe I'm stretching a bit, but Snowden was the nail in the coffin. Even if you are American, it is very hard to define evil in a such a way to defend their participation in PRISM. That code of conduct just make it worse they were caught red handed, and I can very much understand people who completely lost their trust in the company.

I know its for the money, but these people who work for facebook, microsoft, and google. All these are is CIA/NSA fronts for world control. Sure they make $150K/year+, and so did Snowden. Sure they can live in Silicon Valley and take a google bus to their SF flat, sure so what? There will come a time, when all these over-paid fascist's who work for Google-etc, will be seen for what they are, traitors to their society. Enablers of Fascism in the USA. Most people who work for the CIA/NSA, especially technical people are thrilled to work with the smartest and best and brightest, but so did Hitler put together the smartest and brightest, and by way of "operation paperclip" they were brought to USA to create NASA, and what is now NSA/CIA. Eventually these elite overstep their bounds of humanity and decency. Then they slip into hell as they deserve. The common response here on HN is well if your honest you have nothing to lose. What they really mean is that if you ride a google bus to work, and wear a badge you have nothing to fear. The truth is if your just a regular person going about his/her personal business you have a lot to fear. Most of the data sold by GOOGLE is used for criminal purposes. For instance police seizure of personal property in USA now exceeds that stole by 'criminals'. Who are the biggest criminals in the USA? Well they're are own government. Who enables these criminals? Who provides the data, names and addresses of people to rob, rape, and imprison? Google, Microsoft, Oracle, ... you know who.

I was not aware of any voluntary cooperation with the NSA on the part of Google - indeed, the NSA rather famously hacked Google's internal fiber links. If Google was handing them data, why would they need to do that?
