So, the US' biggest data collectors are coming together to fight government surveillance?

I'm not the only one thinking this is a tad hypocritical, am I? It just makes me think that somewhere, some powerful dude went "They are trying to cut in on our action?!?" and decided not to accept projected financial losses by something as petty as a government.

But obviously, this might be the first voice governments actually listen to. Not because what they propose is the right thing to do, but because money.

Apparently this is the best the system currently allows. Capitalism depresses me.
