You mean, a conspiracy in the past to allow governments to sample/siphon data has been proven. That's a pretty different thing than having the entire market physically designing their product so that the government can use it to spy on people.

I don't doubt at all that the government would like companies to do that (they've already openly asked for it regarding encryption after all), but jumping to "it's a(nother) conspiracy!" when there are some pretty damn good explanations that are much closer to Occam's Razor seems irrational to me.

I don't think the tech companies deserve our trust, but I also think that if we go around seeing ghosts and conspiracies in every shadow and under every rock, it's not going to mean anything when the *next Prism happens because everyone will see "the boy who cried wolf" or say "those people always think it's a conspiracy."
