The quote is:
Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information about our users’ Internet activity on such a scale is completely false.
He doesn't say "Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information directly to the government..."
As such, I think you can either take it as "we don't disclose anything to anyone, or you can say that the sentence isn't true.
- outside1234 13y agowhat does "on such a scale" mean? i mean it could be 40% of what we think it is and its still scary.
- Avenger42 13y agoBased on the sentence two lines before it, it likely means "millions of users": > we had never heard of the broad type of order that Verizon received—an order that appears to have required them to hand over millions of users’ call records. [...] Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information about our users’ Internet activity on such a scale is completely false.

- greyman 13y agoNo, the quote is still vague and I agree with Nelson69. He could easily say that "we don't provide any access to gov, nor to their subcontractors nor to any other entity,..." - if that would be true.
