> I think these companies are acting on pretty high principle.

These are the same companies that stand shoulder to shoulder with the same US government when it comes to putting immense pressure on foreign governments to give up their civil rights protections when it comes to privacy.

I can only guess as to their motives, but "high principle" definitely isn't one of them.



I wasn't aware that Twitter was working with the US Government to put immense pressure on foreign governments to give up their civil rights protections on privacy.

Can you cite examples?
