Ron Conway, one of the more powerful investors in Silicon Valley, today defended his position of not getting involved in issues around national security and consumer privacy, saying that he was already busy with too many other causes like gun control and immigration reform
Yeah. I'm really surprised he thinks cheap labor is more important than keeping the government from spying on his deals and all of his companies' deals.
Disappointing. Whenever I hear people say "there needs to be a balance", what I hear is "I'm with NSA/the government on this one" - because that's exactly what everyone saying that are actually saying. It's what Nancy Pelosi said when asked about it, and she meant the same thing. Same with Bill/Hillary Clinton. If they're not outraged about what the NSA and the administration are doing, then they most likely support it.
