While this article has a great deal of truth within it (Microsoft is a big government spy) what it fails to mention is that so is Google, Yahoo and now with Steve Jobs gone I would bet apple.

Purely an observation on my part. The government (a few years back) filed a series of security warnings on many tech companies. When a tech company (facebook was first) changed privacy policies so that they could collect and share with the NSA the inquisitions against that company went away.

The only CEO to let the hearing about their security to actually happen before congress was Steve Jobs. He proved that peoples names and personal informaiton that could be used for billing was secure. When apple did get hacked they go pictures but could not get the credit card numbers, SSNs and other person info.

The point is after jobs died apple then adjusted their privacy notices as well.

While much of this article (extremely bias) is true there is no tech company I am aware of that has any significant user base that is not open to share its data with the NSA based on privacy agreements.

Does anyone know of one?
