Google In Bed With NSA ???

Perhaps we'll never really know just how closely Google and NSA work together:

But if you look at what Google is doing (satellite surveillance, street view, big data, drones, robots, etc.), it's all stuff that Uncle Sam desperately wants and is willing to pay big bucks for.


And what is this crap?

Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, said she believes information sharing between industry and the government is “absolutely essential” but “at the same time, there is some risk to user privacy and to user security from the way the vulnerability disclosure is done.”

Dear Ms. Granick: Are you also in bed with NSA? Information sharing is only "essential" if we accept the premise that government is doing anything to enhance our security. The widespread spying by the US government has not intercepted a single threat to the people of this country.
