> Tech CEOs carefully chose their words in order to make what they said technically true while not addressing the issue as a whole. I don't understand how you come to this conclusion. All the companies issued flat-out denials, which they are not required to do by law. This is as opposed to the normal "no comment" or "if such an order existed..." Google said that they only hand over specific data about specific persons after valid court orders have been reviewed by Google's lawyers. So far I have seen nothing to contradict that. > What the government said was true and what the tech CEOs said was true, yet they seemed to contradict each other. Could you be very specific about "what the government said"? Are you referring to an actual quote from a specific government official or to some anonymous source?
