Google CEO Eric Schmidt, a Democratic Supporter, Blasts Gov’t Spying: ‘It’s Called a Front Door’ | TheBlaze.com:

“So my answer to the government and the U.S. government is, ‘It’s called a front door,’” Schmidt said. “Go to court – by the way, you can get these things in an hour. We have to follow the law. The law requires us to react immediately. We do so. We’ve never had a problem. I just don’t agree,” he added.

“I would much prefer them to say, what we would like to be able to do is to watch what everyone’s doing in order to figure out who the bad guys are because that’s what they want but that’s also not something that I want,” Schmidt added.

Google, unlike many companies, encrypts users’ information in its databases so that not even the government can access it through a so-called “back door.” Apple has similar measures in place where users’  data are so secure inside its servers that not even the government can access computer files belonging to someone it suspects is involved in a crime or terrorist act."
