Before the revelations appeared, these companies did little to fight it. There are ways of acting against it proactively without breaking any NDA's and laws. Only when confidence in their business declines because people found out exactly how complicit they'd been, they decide to do something about it. We know where the priorities really are. In this case it's a publicity thing. They've been caught with their pants down. If there's no source code or it's"cloud" based then I refuse to do business now.

There are ways of acting against it proactively without breaking any NDA's and laws. I can't think of any. The system seems carefully rigged to neuter the checks and balances originally built into it. What are some examples of effective legal actions against an omniscient surveillance state that, historically speaking, threatens politicians even more than it does the average citizen? Maybe I should do some more reading to understand how Hoover's FBI was finally reined in.
