Not sure who's letting the giants off the hook. We all know NSA, GCHQ et al government actors are snooping all they can snoop. People are afraid and disgusted of the practice enough that it must be a consideration for firms who want to seel that sort of tech. More importantly, it's probably keeping a good chunk of the smarter, more skilled engineers away from those firms.

I mean, small player or not, naming and shaming Endace is a small step towards taking down the big giants, or at least one little point of damage to their plans.

Besides, we the people are reduced to guerilla warfare, here. We can't just attack the giants directly. But you need to start with something, no?

I'm not talking about NSA and GCHQ. I'm talking about commercial vendors who serve as their arms dealers. Endace is a minnow in that market. Most of the money goes to just a few sharks. I'm saying that journalists need to stop fishing for minnows just because their stories are easier to tell.
