Won't you think of the shareholders? They've gotten rich off of spying on you wholesale and selling the information to anybody with cash. It would be rude and un-American to ask them to stop profiting off of morally bankrupt practices. Plus, they'd just say no and they own the government too. permalink fedilink source parent
