There are a lot of Google employees on HN who try to suppress information whenever anyone posts sources. Pretty pitiful.
"Although the presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge of any such program."
The PR response from Google is irrelevant, just attempting a cover up.
That's what Google tried to claim once Snowden forced their hand, but the leaked PRISM documents contradict their official stance. I know which I choose to believe.
This really resonates with me: "Mozilla is dedicated to offering users privacy and transparency and we are honored to be an organization that users trust."
Thank god for Mozilla, they are one of the few tech companies I still trust in these troubled times.
I like to think if the NSA asked for direct access to their servers (such as Google were revealed to have granted), Mozilla would have no shortage of whistle-blowers.
