  It's weird how people think companies read about Edward Snowden and then didn't do shit about it and just let the NSA keep tapping their lines. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/03/20/291959446/google-says-its-beefed-up-encryption-because-of-nsa-revelations https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/03/20/291959446...

    It's illegal for US companies to deny US government data. Have you heard of the Cloud Act?
    • fragmede 2y ago
      Yes. Have you actually read it?

    probably because we have a system of laws wherein a good corporate legal team can generally outmaneuver what passes for our secret police.

  Also weird how people pretend Snowden wasn't just trying to draw equivalence between the US and the dictatorship where he currently resides, on behalf of said dictatorship.
