Google says it fought gag orders in WikiLeaks investigation

You didn't answer my question. What exactly do you think it is NSA wants firms like Matasano to do? Stop being evasive. Say something specific, so we can actually address the innuendo.

It seems much more likely that NSA would lean on your consulting practice: you build telephony and communications software. Obviously, I don't think NSA leans on companies like yours either.

The comment at the top of the thread is about Google. Not everything is about you.

I think you should tell that to the person who brought me up.

Sorry Thomas, I only referenced you because I thought the post in question was worth sharing in this context.

I never mentioned Matadano. I specifically refered to the "larger transnational security company" that acquired Matasano. If that's not correct regarding Matasano, I'm sorry. But I'm not being evasive in any way.

I'll let you know when I scale up to where I get a glimpse into the abyss.

I ran the professional services division for one of the largest companies in the same space as Matasano.

I'd love to hear what you think the NSA might have persuaded us to do?

I worked for the "multinational" for two years after the acquisition and I'm curious about NSA's evil influence too. Tell us more, Zigurd? Seriously: just a theory about what could have been happening would be great.

Since your indignation is fully intact, "one of the largest companies..." would not be RSA, right?

RSA isn't in remotely the same space as Matasano, nor would it be "one of the largest" if it were in that space.

As I rock back and forth in my chair, silently repeat the serenity prayer, and try to remain charitable; what sort of work do you think Matasano (or NCC, Accuvant, or VerizonBusiness, my former employer) does?
