  Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook call for NSA muzzle
Time: 11:18 EST/16:18 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Household names including Apple and Google have formally called for changes to U.S. surveillance practices and policy, arguing that current operations undermine the freedom of people. Eight companies, Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo and LinkedIn have formed an alliance called the Reform Government Surveillance group. Although usually fierce competitors, the group have come together in agreement over the U.S. government's spying programs - brought to light by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden - and have formally requested "wide-scale changes" to the regime.
