\"The tech companies have to be \... careful that they\'re not trying to think their view is more important than the government\'s view, or than the government being able to function in some key areas.\"\
\
God forbid a tech company stand up to the government.\

\
\"enthusiasm about making financial transactions anonymous and invisible, and their view that even a clear mass-murdering criminal\'s communication should never be available to the government.\"\
