I don't like this, but I'm starting to see double standards. Why aren't people just as upset about companies giving the same kind of access to the US Government thanks to the Patriot Act?
Because in the USA any criticism against surveillance gets directed to "9/11" either indirectly or in tone. Yes people are upset about the Patriot Act but out of fear of being seen as unpatriotic, sympathetic to terrorists, or disrespectful to 9/11 victims the general population just accepts surveillance as a necessary evil.
