Which makes the disconnect all the more amusing. Some of the same people who are shouting loudly about how this makes the NSA like the Gestapo are the same people who want little or zero oversight over what companies like facebook can do.

That’s because those people live in the world where GUBMINT = BAD and CORPORATIONS = JOB CREATORS.

Are there serious privacy issues at play here? Sure. Absolutely. But it doesn’t do anyone any favors when activist morons like Greenwald poison the well from the start by saying that companies like Facebook and Microsoft are letting the government run wild on their servers and take whatever information they want.
