The issue is that if your motto is "Don't be evil.", you can't later pretend it was "Don't be evil (unless you're forced to do so)."

Especially for a company that big, you'd expect some backbone.

Google has been fighting it.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/04/google-fights-nsl/ for example.

Just because not every fight is public doesn't mean they aren't happening.

Yahoo fought for 5 years before their fight became public.
