EFF: Amazon, AT&T, and Snapchat Most Likely To Rat On You To the Gov't

Social media giants Facebook and Twitter scored quite well; Snapchat was at the bottom of the list, and Amazon and AT&T didn't do much better." Here's the report itself.

    I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
    Got important conversations to have with people? Sensitive information to convey? Do it in person. The Internet isn't safe anymore, hasn't been for a while now, and it's just likely to get worse.

    I'm OK with Amazon sharing info on people I disagree with. I'm not OK with them sharing data to prosecute people that I agree with.

    Maybe that's not what you meant, but it sure sounds that way to me.
