What is the difference between the government harvesting your personal data and Google doing it? Do you think the average person on the street knows the difference? Think about it.
On the one hand, the Internet behemoth wants the public to know it’s outraged by U.S. surveillance programs and is aggressively lobbying for new rules to keep its customers’ data safe from the government’s prying eyes.
