voveran sr 100 Those technology giants who have, to many eyes, colluded with state surveillance the most, are not among the eight complaining today: companies which make web hardware such as Cisco, and telecommunications providers themselves, are in a trickier position than Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft, who all fear today’s trickling loss of paranoid users could turn to a mainstream flood that threatens profits and - to be fair - the underpinning philosophies of their founders. They’ve already changed their security standards to make it harder for the state to access their material, and in their open letter the companies argue they are fighting for their customers’ privacy. They say they are “deploying the latest encryption technology to prevent unauthorized surveillance on our networks, and by pushing back on government requests to ensure that they are legal and reasonable in scope.” Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Twitter and others publish the number of requests from government for access to data; web providers do not.
