Restore the Fourth
One issue I have with this is that the goals here seem to be "end the unconstitutional spying on Americans".<p>This isn't necessarily a bad goal, but even if NSA entirely stopped all domestic spying, it would still continue to tap cables headed for foreign lands, and would still be able to compel silent cooperation of any US company to allow them to spy on foreigners.<p>This is unacceptable if the United States wishes to continue competing on the Internet.  If every US-based company can be silently forced to turn over their data to the US government, why use US services?  There are a whole lot more customers on the web outside of the US than there are who are US citizens.<p>Why host on AWS, then, if you know it'll scare your customers away?  Why use Google Apps for your email?  Why buy Android devices or iPhones for your employees if that data's going straight to NSA via Google?<p>There are something like 7 billion people on this planet.  There are only about 315 million US citizens, or about 4.5%.  The vast majority of the profits to be made from the Internet are _not in the USA_.<p>It's short-sighted.  The US military really needs to serve the interests of the country and its businesses, not some stupid fear-based warmongering agenda of its own.
