Personally, I'm beginning to feel Google and Facebook are getting more and more open about US politics going against their interests.
> These countries tend to use fairly obvious and naive attacks, as opposed to the US that might be able to demand information by an NSL.
I don't think I agree with that point. Isn't the exact opposite the case? Russia, China, et al. have to actually do the work and hack the US citizen, while the US GOV can just send the NSL and have the data delivered on silver platter by US companies, who are bound by law to comply?
