FUD. What proof are you referring to that Google is "directly, deeply, and intricately involved in said scandal?" Should the industry drop C++ (Microsoft) and Java (Oracle) support or similar (Scala, Python, etc)? AMD and Intel processing? All American companies; completely ludicrous.

And there is plenty of other reading material to review regarding Google's history with the NSA (see my other links posted in the nested comment below). Perhaps I should not have said "directly, deeply, and intricately involved in said scandal" in the tone of 'matter of fact' - because it is indeed an opinion, but I'm just drawing what I feel are logical conclusions. IMO Google is the NSA's primary Trojan Horse into the free market. I am in no means declaring this as fact, like I said originally - just wanted to drop my '2 cents' if that's OK.

  It goes deeper than that. You are suggesting that intellectual, free thinking and Google can't coexist, or to work AT or WITH Google is to be not intellectual nor free thinking. It's ludicrous to label Google employees and users. You would suggest that Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, and those Google employees that publicly deny your FUD [0] can't be intelligent, free-thinking hackers. Crazy.

    I believe you're taking my comment out of context. I shared 'my 2 cents'; an opinion - and did not label Google users or employees. I apologize if you found my comment rude, but I clearly intended it to be taken with a grain of salt.
