Are you bothering to read these things, or just searching for the term "direct access" and calling it a day?

Are you bothering to understand what the OP was trying to say or just trolling and calling it a day?

I didn't express any personal opinion on whether Google or Apple leak large amounts of data or not, and in fact I don't have any. I just can understand people wondering about the usage of this phrase and was trying to explain their possible motives.

The phrase "direct access" gets special attention because it's in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the original Guardian article. The companies didn't make up the qualification -- they're repeating the accusation back and refuting it.
