Google certainly played a major role, and it wasn't my intention to shelter companies/governments from blame. However, I certainly don't believe holding individuals accountable is futile. They need to consider if people can be suppressed, stripped of their rights, imprisoned, and murdered thanks to their research/code.

We should encourage developers to fight for privacy, and discourage them from engaging in research/writing code that can be used to commit evil acts.

And yes, I wholeheartedly agree that everyone should vote.
