> I know that mindset doesn't match many of the people here on HN

Right, the people here on HN only support spying when they are the ones doing it to users for "ad targeting" purposes.

> PG always came across to me as unusually thoughtful and smart and friendly (let's be honest he's a great guy)

He's also amazing and incredible and handsome and witty and strong and I love him oh so much.

Could also be replaced with "Ask " and applied to real life events populated by the same crowd.

In order to trust Amazon, you would also have to fully trust the government(s) that have the authority to force Amazon to do things.

It still amazes me that people actually pay money for the opportunity to have one of these things listening to what goes on in their home 24/7.

This sounds like another completely pointless PR stunt to fool people into thinking Facebook gives a shit about their privacy.

You make many assumptions.

You mean a 'transformative' disruptive synergistic cloud experience offer?

I doubt it. Even if Google can't use the data they're getting from searches done via that service to target ads to specific people, they're still getting valuable data on what people search for generally.

Because it upsets people like you.

It's also the way I personally choose to protest the corporate and government surveillance state we're living in.

> I see an issue with treating drug users (esp. recreational drug users) as somehow "less than human" because of their choices.

The justice system only sees them as "less than human" until they can conveniently be used to create an emotional scene which can be used as ammo against someone the government doesn't like.

After reading comments here and on arstechnica, I'm terrified by the number of people who still seem to blindly trust our government and support the drug war.

Another scary thing is how many people have "convicted" this guy of things that he was never convicted of, and used those things as a point from which to justify his sentence here.

It amazes me that people are still dumb enough to install apps from any of the social networks.
