Verizon exec slams Google, Microsoft, Yahoo for NSA lawsuit
grandstanding
http://j.mp/189HlnO (ZDNET)
In a media briefing in Tokyo, Stratton, the former chief operating
officer of Verizon Wireless, said the company is "compelled" to abide
by the law in each country that it operates in, and accused companies
such as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo of playing up to their customers'
indignation at the information contained in the continuing Snowden
leak saga. "I appreciate that the consumer-centric IT firms that you
referenced [Yahoo, Google, Microsoft] that it's important to
grandstand a bit, and waive their arms and protest loudly so as not to
offend the sensibility of their customers," Stratton said.

I'm uncharacteristically speechless. The lawsuits are entirely
appropriate.
