>> Maybe the correct response to unconstitutional, secret warrants is to refuse to comply, maybe even refuse to respond?

Ummmm, no. Correct response is courts and then comply. Pichai would lose his job in a minute.

You are ignoring the fact that Tim Cook fought the government on the San Bernardino shooter, and still has his job.

The Board is not going to fire Pichai over this, provided he appears to be fighting through the courts rather than practicing outright defiance.

In a short search I didn't find any indication that this was one of the infamous "National Security Letters" that comes with a gag order.
you can fight until the case is still in the courts. Then, it is over. That's what I meant.
