@jilliancyork You tell me: would the@eff accept an NSA Policy Fellow? If not, how is it ok that it accepts a Google Policy Fellow? -
@aral I’m no fan of Google, but the two are not the same thing. -
@jilliancyork One is government surveillance; the other corporate surveillance. And they’re not mutually exclusive, either. -
@aral I’d bet if the State Dept. paid a fellow directly to do research for us, we might consider that too. -
@jilliancyork So it’s possible we’ll see someone with the title “NSA Policy Fellow at@eff” soon? Fair enough, at least that’s consistent.

@aral@EFF If you think Google has any control over what we say, you're wrong. Hell, I tweeted this on Saturday:https://twitter.com/legind/status/551387975779893248 … -

@flexlibris@aral@EFF So, Google pays the fellow directly. We’re not naming anyone. -
@flexlibris@aral And yes, Google fellows can and have criticized the company. Frankly, I encourage it. -
@jilliancyork@aral well that's encouraging. But what does Google gain? -
@flexlibris@aral Oh, reputation, for sure. I have no illusions about that. -
@jilliancyork Exactly. As would the NSA if they had an NSA Policy Fellow at@EFF which is why it would never happen. +@flexlibris
