I appreciate that you don't forget that trolls need to eat too.
>Google does not "provide" NSA direct access, the NSA cut into the dark fiber they run underground between their data centers without Google's knowledge.
Sure they did....
The PRISM revelations prove you incorrect: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-...
No "dark fiber" necessary, Google were complicit with the NSA.
Very irritating when Google apologizers aren't even aware of recent news.
Where does it say in the leaks that Google was providing the access?
That the NSA had access wasn't because Google was providing it. The NSA got access through some shady practices. They have access to all the files when the NSA can listen in on all the traffic. Not because Google gave them permission.
Very irritating when you claim something with a source when the source counters your own point:
> "If they are doing this, they are doing it without our knowledge," one said.
A just created drive-by account doesn't inspire confidence that you have contrary evidence.
