The company once known for its "don't be evil" motto is now in bed with the spy agency known for the mass surveillance of American citizens.

The company pinkie-swears that its agreement with the NSA won't violate the company's privacy policies or compromise user data. Those promises are a little hard to believe, given the NSA's track record of getting private enterprises to cooperate, and Google's willingness to take this first step.

Google isn't evil? Now wait. They have lost that status long ago for things like supporting regimes like China in their efforts to censor everything.
