Why? If your ISP is giving you up, what does google matter?

Most Google services can work over SSL (after years of pressure). That trumps ISP's DPI. And live traffic is nothing compared to your search history (with location and profiling) and email.

Do you think the NSA has gotten all the internet giants to bow down but somehow failed to get root certificates? SSL is not going to keep you out of this sort of surveillance.

I don't think this is helpful or productive -- it's not the companies at fault, but rather the government that is making this compulsory.

They lend their face and their bullshit smile to the government towards which many people have a much more healthy distrust. I agree that this doesn't make them the main culprit, but they don't get to completely wash their hands of it either. Big (monstrously huge, actually) corporations make the job of tyrannical governments much easier; how about we chop them into more manageable bits without having personally hard feeling towards them, and deal with the government(s) at the same time?

No, it's absolutely productive and helpful. We the people have no voice. Companies like Google who makes billions are the ones with a voice. If a million people left Google in protest you could expect action. If a million people signed some bullshit online petition nothing at all would happen.

Why is Google being singled out? atleast they are among the ones denieing this report: http://marketingland.com/google-apple-facebook-deny-nsa-pris...

And why are you omitting Apple from the title while listing Google twice (YouTube)? and what the hell is "msn" and "y"?

He probably has an agenda against Google. It's very common on HN. HN hates Google, but loves Apple and Facebook.

Oh dear, really? Honestly, that is so far off the mark its insane.

If HN hates google, then it has ninjas after Apple and Facebook.
