Because Google's (and other) gadgets are the sugar coating for surveillance. Nobody would voluntarily wear a government-mandated gps-tracker with a remote-controllable microphone, but most people (including myself) are readily buying them from Google which enables governments to access a lot of interesting data with far less outrage as if they would access is directly.
I am not following closely, but Mr. Assange does seem to have some public criticism of the organizations you mentioned.
Right. So instead of directing our ire at the government which is using the gps-tracker with remote-controllable microphone to spy on you, we should be angry at Google because the government happens to use them to accomplish this end? If Google closed up shop tomorrow, the government would not stop doing this!
I'm sorry but in no way does Google deserve scrutiny over the FBI/CIA/DoJ.
