I suspect that Google is an NSA front organization, which is why Google appears to be pissed at the NSA.

In any case, I think both Microsoft and Google would be high value targets for all sorts of infiltration by the NSA, whether it's sanctioned by the power structures of these companies or not.

So HN has gone from seeing Google's name on a PRISM slide, to assuming it's entirely an NSA outfit?

Apple was on one of those slides. I suppose they're an NSA front organization as well?

I'm just a single HN'er and I wasn't really thinking of PRISM... I was thinking more along the lines of how obviously valuable it would be to the NSA to either A) start companies like Google or B) infiltrate them.

I also said that I suspect that's the case, not the I assume it to be. Given that the NSA seems to do what it wants and the obvious motivation for infiltrating or starting companies like Google...I think the suspicion is warranted.
