They could engineer their products in such a way that they don't collect all this data and don't transfer it to servers in the USA. They could also stop cooperating with the NSA, they could also respect privacy of their users, etc.

Google has a lot of things to do. Robots would not be high on my list.




> don't collect all this data

So you don't want GMail to actually collect your email?

> stop cooperating with the NSA

Ah, you mean they should start breaking the US law?


I don't want my Mail to be stored in the USA, nicely unencrypted for the NSA.

Sure not.

Since GMail has this NSA problem, I'm not using it.

> Ah, you mean they should start breaking the US law?

Which law? The law the NSA is bending every day?

Google can do a lot to support security and privacy of foreign user's data. They don't do anything. Actually they do everything to undermine it and to make it easy for the NSA to access this data.
