I strongly agree with you. It is not clear to me how a billionaire like Larry Page is being forced into anything. It is not conceivable that he personally would be jailed if Google were to defy the US government.

It would be interesting to see what would actually happen if one of the big American internet companies just said the truth. "We have received 35 NSL's and we gave them your data."

What would actually happen? Would their stock go up or down? Would they gain or lose customers? Would anyone be prosecuted and jailed?
