    Wouldnt a revolution be enough motivation for that?

      Would it?

      If Russia did another communist revolution, Apple probably would face more damage in doing anything overtly than they’d gain from just silently participating in PRISM and doing nothing at all.

        What if it was the West? Particularly, the USA?

          There’s no way a communist revolution would work in the USA right now so you’re going to need more context in this hypothetical world where a communist revolution has a chance of succeeding.

          I wish it were possible to believe otherwise, but history doesn’t seem to support that belief.
