Obeying the law is not "working with"


The previous accusation was that Google was hacked and unaware that PRISM was collecting data, which is what I was referring to. Please read the thread before commenting.


OK well in that case every person/company in the country "works with" the USG since they comply with some laws/demands.


Google initially denied that they complied with the usage of PRISM, until documentation showed they were lying. Apple held out longer than Google, so at some point they all had to decide that they were going to "work" with the USG.


Please give me an exact citation. Perhaps update Wikipedia while you're at it?


I've never edited wikipedia, but my understanding is that it is labor intensive. I'll just provide a citation here:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/19/us-tech-giants...


The words "mandatory" and "compulsory" figure prominently in that article.
