Yeah, I found it a bit odd the specific selections of both CEOs and companies named - especially given that the CEOs in the headline, the named companies in the article, and the named CEOs in the article are all different sets.

Almost identical to the list of PRISM companies.

  I don't think that's a coincidence -- they didn't want to participate, and now that it's out there, it's hurting their bottom line.

    I don't think these companies even know they were helping it.

      Of course the companies knew about PRISM (though not under that name); they had to implement services for it. Other NSA more pervasive initiatives, like tapping into fiber, were not known.

>Drew Houston, Dropbox Oh that's precious. They could go a long way to curbing NSA spying themselves by not appointing one of the most prolific apologists for warrantless wiretapping, to their fucking board of fucking directors. Then they can sign off on this.
