I find it funny to see how people very often go into defense mode (of those companies) when I call them (a select amount of companies) mass surveillance companies.

I mean, when you search for the definition of a surveillance compatible (or, surveillance) and see what those companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, Yahoo, Paltalk), it outright matches that of (a) surveillance company/companies.

Then, when you look at the scale they perform this at (mass scale, mass amount of people/users), it fits the definition of a mass surveillance company...

No matter how you turn it, those companies are, per definition, (mass) surveillance companies (apart from the fact that they're integrated within worlds biggest created government powered mass surveillance program ever).

    Isn't that to simplistic?

    It reminds me a friends who use to call fight games(street fighter, marvel vs capcom, KOF) just games where you just punch and kick.

    By that reduction everything can be resumed that way, is like if I call you a head with extremities and a thorax. You buffoon

    @arcioneo I agree with you but I think that this is right (in this case) as the companies I mentioned are actually integrated within a mass surveillance network.
