Comment on Who Has Your Back? Government Data Requests 2015

Comments

Usually the EFF does a good job with these reports but you got to wonder with a company like Dropbox.

- Condi Rice is on the Board of directors - an avowed supporter of NSA warantless wiretaps

- Users cannot control thier Keys such that it becomes impossible for them handover data to the Govt. even if they complied to the NSL or whatever other BS demand

And they get 5 stars for "Having our Backs" (!)

They also scan user files for copyright protection and a few years ago had some clear breaches of trust between users and the company.

The point of this effort is to elicit change from these organizations. If having breaches "a few years ago" means never getting a star, why would a company care?
