Why should I trust a company that works with NSA and makes money on information about me to protect my privacy and "fight" government. I see his post as nothing more than PR move - "we're the good guys" - before we find out that they cooperated with agencies. Am I alone in this opinion?



His company also makes money by earning the trust of their customers. If they lose that trust, it has the potential to be a great financial loss.


It's a corporation that's a point of living is making profit and selling overpriced stuff. It's government job to take care of people and give them safety, privacy and protect them from illegal and harmful practices of corporations.


Yeah, remember when users stopped using Facebook, Google et al in droves after the whole PRISM debacle, they still haven't financially recovered from that one, have they?


People use Facebook despite not trusting them.
