This is a blog about the company's direction, not about whether it will perfectly conform to the ideals laid out. The CEO is not claiming that they are apolitical, but that that is their goal. >Politics is ultimately about how we engage and collaborate with each other as a society, An organization can be apolitical in which clients it takes, how it applies its agreements and rules, and its involvement in the campaign process. >How can they truly be neutral on all of these issues that are directly relevant to the business they do? They do not need to take a stance on law circumvention or the right to privacy other than to uphold the law and maximize customer value.

> They do not need to take a stance on law circumvention or the right to privacy other than to uphold the law and maximize customer value. The products and tools and services they sell are specifically designed to permit the circumvention of the law. They are no different than people who make lockpicks in that respect. Technically the company couldn't care less what you do with the lockpicks. Maybe you're a hobbyist, or a locksmith. Maybe. Some of their employees may be okay looking the other way, but not all of them will be. Based on the way this is going down it sounds like there was some internal drama about this, and they feel like it's best to part ways with the pro-law crowd.
