assuming the NSA isn't behind it and cutting them a check
- jacquesm 6y agoThat's well into tinfoil hat territory unless you have some proof of this.
- coronadisaster 6y agovery true, but is there even a way to even know how much money they get from the government? (With this black budget bullshit... Who introduced that concept anyways)
- swebs 6y agoNot Mozilla, but there's plenty of proof for other big tech companies, including Google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
- jacquesm 6y agoBut this is about Mozilla, which is not all like the other big tech companies. They've definitely made some mistakes but I'd pause for a long time before accusing them of malice at that level.
- speedgoose 6y agoHow are they different?
- neurostimulant 6y agoMany contributors are volunteer, not under mozilla payroll. I doubt they would stay quiet if they notice something like this happen.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoThe NSA didn't cut those companies a check. As the slides very clearly show, PRISM is an integration program between the NSA and the FBI to consume the data that the FBI already gets from issuing wiretap requests for specific users.
- rebelwebmaster 6y agoYes, the company that laid off 7% of its workforce back in January and still has people on edge about pay cuts and layoffs is secretly rolling in the NSA dough. Makes perfect sense.
