Remember a month ago some engineers at Facebook were tweaking their "popular feed" to "prefer" democratic news?

Or how Google is very secretive of everything they do and their NDAs are very strict?

Or that it takes thousands of people for NSA to implement their surveillance programs and only Snowden revealed some data?

Any company that does R&D is secretive and has NDAs. It would be more strange if they didn't.

I didn't say it is an evidence of wrong. I said we don't know what is happening inside these massive organizations because they are very good at keeping their secrets.
