Eight firms, Google, Apple, Facebook,
Twitter, AOL, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Yahoo, have formed
an alliance called Reform Government Surveillance a group to combat big
government’s attack on Americans privacy.
Can you trust these
organizations to defend your privacy? Are they part of the problem? Do they
work for the U.S. Government? Is this push-back just a facade?
These are all questions every
American should now be asking. It has long been thought that Google was part of
the CIA. No real proof has surfaced so far, but if you were a spy agency Google
would be your best tool to find out what people are doing and thinking.
We all know that many of the
White House staff has already moved to Facebook and other social networks. Vice
President Al Gore still has his fingers in many of these organizations. There
is a government connection with all of them so why would they now come out
swinging against the very institution that may have helped form them and are
used by them?
So many questions and no real
answers, but one thing is sure, every American has a problem and that problem
could potentially land them in jail for just speaking their mind. – N.P. Contompasis
