Apple to Team Up With Tech Companies to Ask for Greater NSA Transparency

[IJ Reilly]

LOL, the ultimate argument.

Heavy sigh.

That's a good start, but I think we need a major overhaul of the Patriotic Act and the FISA court. I'm glad the American public is starting to understand what us Libertarians have been screaming about for years..

They don't need no over hauls they should be all ceased, they shouldn't even exist.

Eyes pop out in disbelief at desperate argument.

At least we can agree on that.

So even though millions of people had access to the data Manning did you don't believe a single one of them was a Russian and/or Chinese spy? When the Russians have been caught with programs like this? Seriously?

Ditto what Snowden had access to, he hardly had a massively high security clearance - I really find it hard to believe the same doesn't apply.

ya... Good luck with that ....

Apple knows it all anyway when we use iOS devices.... The act of saying "We trust Apple with our privacy/data" should be kept, "as is" ....

Then again, this is exactly why "I" always provide as little info on my iTunes Account as possible/or fake, for this exact purpose....

OK, I'm guilty of this ..... so sue me

But this is the only way, I know what i am giving out.... I'd rather be guilty of giving fake info, than spying on real data/info from the NSA any-day.....

To me privacy is top priority.... Period !!.. regardless of snoopers...

Late to the party, Apple tells the others what they want to hear. Knowing anything the Cupertino company says publicly will be reported on, they choose their words very carefully. Masters of their image, the faithful are thrilled at this announcement.

And the beat goes on...

So what would you be saying in Apple's position?

"The faithful are thrilled at this announcement" - how stupid can you get? Is there anybody who doesn't support Apple (and Google, and many other companies) in their attempt to get the right to provide more transparency to their customers?

I wouldn't say I support them in any of this. I can't make that call until I know what's been going on.

It's too easy for the NSA to lean on corporations though. Unlike whistleblowers or some journalists, corps are unlikely to take a stand against the NSA.
