@zwhittaker No, but it isn't really a matter of trust in those companies so much as what the US law is. Companies like Google and Twitter have historically tried to provide as much information as possible regarding requests to their users, and that's really all that they can do legally. We can't ask these companies to risk being dissolved, what we need to do is lobby at a national level (as well as get them on board with lobbying).
The way you phrased it implies some sort of culpability on the part of these companies for the state of the US surveillance state. No one likes the fact that they have to comply with national security letters, but them's the brakes.
