I remember that report (one of the earlier ones) that said that Google hosts hardware provided by the NSA.
So his outrage is even more hypocritical than the EU's leaders'.
Also, if he was really "outraged", he'd band together with the other tech giants and actively and visibly fight the NSA:
If somebody has the power and reach to get the public behind a cause, it's the tech giants. As long as they don't fight the NSA and do it in a manner that's transparent for the public and honest, I call:
Pure PR bullshit as usual.

- frank_boyd 13y agoI read it in another Guardian article at the time, but: http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/prism-slides-nsa-document http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/pri... slide #3: "Collection directly from the servers of these US Service Providers: Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, Youtube, Apple." "directly from the servers of these US Service Providers" means "with help from these US Service Providers"

- DanBC 13y ago> "directly from the servers of these US Service Providers" means "with help from these US Service Providers" Or it means "with the court-ordered forced help of these companies".
- Oletros 13y agoWhen they talk about "directly from the servers..." they are talking about PRISM and yes, it is data sent from the companies regarding federal requests. It has nothing to do with the claim " Google has NSA hardware in their datacenters"
