Google chief Larry Page on Friday branded Internet spying a threat to freedoms and called for governments to be more revealing about what they try to find out about people’s online activities.
“We understand that the US and other governments need to take action to protect their citizens’ safety — including sometimes by using surveillance,” Page said in a blog post.
“But the level of secrecy around the current legal procedures undermines the freedoms we all cherish.”
Page put his personal stamp on the California-based Internet giant’s denial that it opened any doors for US intelligence agencies to mine data from its servers.
