That Corporations and Governments work together (often in private and off-record) [sarcasm] for the technological good of the people [/sarcasm] - Apple and Google Execs met in English mansion to secretly discuss government surveillance plans (AndroidAuthority May 2015) (http://www.androidauthority.com/apple-google-met-spy-chiefs-discuss-co-operation-610728/). These types of meetings have been going on for a long time, although it starts to get tricky to track them back further than a few years - Execs From Apple, Google And AT&T Secretly Met With Obama To Discuss Surveillance (Huffington Post Aug 2013) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/09/tim-cook-obama_n_3731630.html) [Reuters Aug 2013 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/09/us-usa-security-obama-tech-idUSBRE9780IC20130809)] [The Telegraph May 2012 - article references meeting in 2007 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9276468/Tory-ministers-met-Google-chiefs-23-times.html)]
