    A company cannot provide special access to a one government without losing access to the markets of all others. Work for one, work for all.

        @Snowden It seems to me that governments are working for corporations, rather than the other way around.

        @Snowden @RokZavrtanik Seems like companies like IBM that do enterprise are being punished most. Consumer companies like Apple not so much.

        @Snowden please tell me that you're writing a book. At this point I would listen to you reading a cookbook. You're an inspiration.

        @Snowden But the “legal” authority is in the “law” that authorizes accessing the back door. Anyone else is “hacking” or “terrorism”.

        @Snowden A one shadow government in America behind the scenes is the regulator. No refs. It controls the system, you see as your system.

        @Snowden They'll simply add a universal backdoor, and sell it as "No it's just for you" to each government.

        @Snowden So the special access that the NSA enjoys to Google, Yahoo, etc. is shared by the special services of France, China and Russia?
