Absolutely. I'm sure they'll all go to court, they'll fight it, they'll lose and then they will come out and say "Look we tried but our hand was forced".  Imagine if all these tech companies stood united and just flat out refused to go along with this BS. What is the government going to do? Shut all of them down and basically destroy the economy. If that happens where are they going to get the money to fund their illegal activities? All these companies could end this if they wanted to but its really all just for show.

I completely trust all mega corporations and have no problem with revealing my data. Had I not done so, how would that Nigerian prince find me in the first place, and agree to give me all that money. He knows I'm trustworthy.
Just a couple of days more and I'll be rich, and Google and Microsoft made it possible :))

Thats true but even groups of people have a lot less power and influence than someone like Bill Gates. Bill Gates can change legislation with nothing more than a phone call and a wire transfer. 

At least it comes out in public like this but that is pretty crazy that America think they can hand out a warrant which will work in every country? Why don't they just get a warrant printed up for Putin or something in China and see how well that works out for them going waving around the warrant + American flag on it, would be a treat to watch.

I wish for once Ireland would actually be neutral.... and not 100% biased to the west, only country that can try to play off being neutral while refueling US warplanes on route to Afganistan. I wuv my country!

touche'

it does work. Its not that I am saying this I am just telling everyone what other people say. (it was also not 100% off topic since Government = Obama and the person I replied to said something like fuck obama or whatever) 

The reason why I said no offense is because of well people like you and the other guys that find this racist. When I am telling you that someone robbed a bank did I do it? nope.
I just said no offense because there is always people that cannot for the love of it differentiate between something that was talked about and something that was said as part of an opinion.

If I am saying that person A thinks that person B is an idiot  it does not mean that I think B is an idiot I never said that and I in no way expressing my opinion or anything like that.

No offense is for the people that easily jump to conclusions.


 Have you ever heard of "DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!" ? This applies to our situation.


Criticizing me for something that other people say seems redundant doesn't it?

It was racist, and an absolutely disgusting example. If people say it, fine, but it has almost nothing to do with Microsoft going to court over data. It was completely uncalled for and uneccesary in this topic.

The worst is that almost every western Countries are licking US government's ass.

I'm pretty sure I voted for a government that was against blind data collection, and despite that these rights are being stolen from me by a government i didn't vote for.

The message that you tried to pass was clear.

The color of Obama skin and shit are the same. That's your idea and you used a saying from your town to convey it.

You gave readers no chance to second guess your message. The message is yours, nobody forced you to pass'em. Take responsibility.
