Google Chairman upset over NSA, claims they are spying on too many people

re: #344 Varek Raith

I agree with that CEO. The legality is highly questionable. the point about spying on 300 million to glean 300 is also a fair point. What is the relevance? Numerous links available.

And I’m not going to pretend for a split second that it’s a valid comparison between government law enforcement /counter terror agencies and a commercial provider that wants to advertise better and make money using big data.

Of course both argue really well for privacy laws that would shield law abiding citizens from both wildly different worries.
