It is a wide spread belief that since 9/11 that the US government has been listening to everything. The only way anyone can point to one company and blame them, is because they already have a bias against that company to begin with. It seems the US government has forced pretty much every company to comply. My guess is that Sony and Nintendo have complied, but their reach is so small in comparison to others, they aren't mentioned. I would rather that the government was reading my email and text messages than not. I have no plans to break any laws or cause any harm to anyone, so i am not afraid of their review of my communications. I get the whole "fear the loss of your rights" idea, but i look at it in a different perspective. With technology today, terrorists both foreign and domestic have it extremely easy. Why no make them work to do harm to others. In the US, we have free speech, but not the right to freely plan the death or harm to others. |
They haven't complied, and dont have to, bc they aren't American companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft as well.
The government has much more influence on companies that are headquartered or at least do most of their business in the US.
