What if those same companies are helping to power the NSA illegally collecting and storing data on Americans without a warrant? Is that different to you? Where

  No. But it's also illegal for them to do that, and it's disgusting that the elected officials of the government continue to allow it to do so. Of course it's also only able to do it because for-profit companies are being paid for their assistance. I would argue that makes them criminals (knowingly aiding a criminal attack), and as such they should be charged with those crimes. The US government basically pleads sovereign immunity to violations of its own criminal attacks on US citizens, so charging the companies that assists them with those crimes, and also removing their profit motive, would hopefully kill off the NSA, ICE, and the DHS's continuous violations of the constitution.

  > What if those same companies are helping to power the NSA illegally collecting and storing data on Americans without a warrant? What if those same companies were making nuclear bombs and blowing up large cities? Neither happens, so I cannot understand your point.
