I think by now the situation has come to a point where nobody believes a word of denials coming from any US company when it comes to surveillance and user data. Anybody would just assume they're denying it because NSA tells them to do so and they don't have a choice. Understandably, big companies don't like feeling like ventriloquist's puppets. Maybe they should spend some of those lobbying dollars on putting collar, leash and muzzle on NSA.

And maybe we should punish these companies until they do.
