    You missed that whole Snowden thing, didn't you?

Cute.

Since you brought that up, why are you still on the internet then Kleinbl00? I'm sure you deleted all of your social media accounts, stopped using Reddit and Hubski, and threw your cell phone and all digital devices with an internet connection in the trash, right? If you read anything from the Snowden releases, you'd know they are logging what sounds like EVERYTHING. Other than abstaining from the internet entirely, why should I specifically hate Google? When from the sounds of it, anything connected to copper or wireless networks is being pilfered.

Also, as I've stated elsewhere on Hubski in the past about this, I've known about the information gathering capabilities of our government for a long time now. There's been plenty of court cases proving it's expansiveness over the years. Snowden just brought it to the spotlight for many who previously would have written it off as conspiracy theory. I'm not happy about it, but again, other than total internet abstinence, why does me not hating Google deserve a snarky response along the lines of "You obviously aren't paying attention"?
