It is remarkable how similar the two statements from Larry Page (LP) and Mark Zuckerberg (MZ) are below. The same responses worded slightly differently, and expressed in the same order:
LP: "...we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers."
MZ: "..Facebook is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers."
LP: "... we provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law."
MZ: "we... always follow the correct processes and all applicable laws."
LP: "...we have long believed—there needs to be a more transparent approach."
MZ: "We strongly encourage all governments to be much more transparent..."
It almost looks like they are reading from a template or script!
